Explanation:
12. The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported. Sound travels fastest through solids, slower through liquids and slowest through gases. metal is solid.
13. the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second.
14.Sound is a form of energy, just like electricity and light. A sound is made when air molecules vibrate and move in a pattern called waves, or sound waves.
15. Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.
16. Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the movement of heat from one object to another one that has different temperature when they are touching each other.
17. Placing blinds, curtains, or reflective window panels are some of the ways how to keep the sun out of windows. Keeping direct sunlight away from your room will reduce the warmth in the space.
18. For a rough surface, reflected light rays scatter in all directions. This is called diffuse reflection. Diffuse reflection is when light hits an object and reflects in lots of different directions. This happens when the surface is rough.
19. An image can be seen in the mirror because the light reflected from an object falls on the mirror and it is reflected.
21. A pulley is a simple machine that uses grooved wheels and a rope to raise, lower or move a load.
22. The wheel and axle is another simple machine. It uses a wheel with a rod attached in the middle as an axle to help it to lift or move loads.
