A student is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. The student gathers the following data. A 3 column table

with 3 rows labeled Speed of Sound. The first column is labeled medium with entries ice, water, steam. The second column is labeled temperature in degrees Celcius with entries 0, 25, 100. The last column is labeled speed of sound in meters per second with entries 3200, 1500, 346. A second 3 column table with 3 rows labeled speed of light. The first column is labeled medium with entries air, water, glass. The second column is labeled index of refraction with entries 1. 00, 1. 33, 1. 57. The last column is labeled speed of light in meters per second with entries 2. 99 times 10 Superscript 8 Baseline, 2. 26 times 10 Superscript 8 Baseline, 1. 91 times 10 Superscript 8 Baseline. What conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? Light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. All sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. Light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. Tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

I have an algerbra 2 question.

In order to find out if the exponential function represents a growth or a decay, let's look at the number that is base to the exponent x.

If the number is greater than 1, so the function represents a growth, and if the number is less than 1, the function represents a decay.

Since the number is 1.075, the function represents a growth.

To find the % increase, first let's convert the number to percentage, and then subtract 100%:

\begin{gathered} 1.075=1.075\cdot100\text{\%}=107.5\text{\%} \\ 107.5\text{\%}-100\text{\%}=7.5\text{\%} \end{gathered}

So the percent increase is 7.5%.

Tiana jogs 1.5 km along a straight path and then turns and jogs 2.4 km in the opposite direction. She then turns back and jogs 0
vichka [17]

Answer:

Distance: 4.6km Displacement= -0.2km

Explanation:

Total distance: 1.5+2.4+0.7= 4.6 km

Displacement: 1.5-2.4+0.7= -0.2km

The displacement may also be 0.2km, it just depends on if it wants it negative or not.
