what energy can come from a tiny amount of matter, can be used to generate electrical energy, and gives the sun its energy?

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

For this car, predict the shape of a graph that shows distance (x) versus time (t). note that time is the independent variable and will be on the bottom axis. need asap

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 12 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h = 12t − 1.86t2. (a) find the velocity of the rock after two seconds. m/s (b) find the velocity of the rock when t = a. 12−3.72a m/s (c) when will the rock hit the surface? (round your answer to one decimal place.) t = s (d) with what velocity will the rock hit the surface? m/s
