In a sound wave, the magnitude of the compression is ___ the magnitude of the rarefaction. greater than
less than
equal to

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: At first, I thought it depends on the waveform of the sound ... sine wave,
square wave, sawtooth wave, complex wave, etc.   But the magnitude of
the compression must be equal to the magnitude of the rarefaction.  It
it weren't, then air molecules would creep along the wave in the direction
of one or the other, and the wave would carry matter as well as energy ...
and we know that waves don't do that.

John Glenn is the first American to orbit the Earth.

♡♡Hope I helped!!! :)♡♡

Yes, John Glenn was the first to orbit the earth but the question I read was who WALKED ON THE MOON.....the answer to who was the FIRST to walk on the moon... is  Neil Armstrong but Buzz Aldrin also walked and was there with Armstrong but wasn't the first.  You have to be careful about the astronaut 'firsts'.  Alan Shepherd was the first in space....John Glenn was the first to orbit the earth....Edward White was the first to 'walk in space' and Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. Also remember that all of these were American Astronaut firsts.  The Russians actually put up the first man in space.  Yuri Gagarin was the first man.  Buzz Aldrin landed and walked on the moon also.

Which of the following is most closely related to the specific heat of a substance?a. its temperature
b. its melting point
c. its amount of heat transferred
d. its rate of change in temperature

Answers

The following that is is most closely related to the specific heat of a substance is its rate of change in temperature. The answer is letter D. The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 Kelvin is called the specific heat. The answer is a. For example, water. Water has a specific heat of 4.18 Joules per kilogram per Kelvin. This means that in order for water to change from one state to the other at one kelvin, it needs 4.18 Joules of energy per one kilogram of water. But it does not apply to changes in phase, because the heat added or removed during a phase change does not change the temperature of a substance.
