As the world is increasing in population, the sound from traffic is a significant issue. The U. S. Department of Transportation recognizes that noise from highways is a large issue, particularly for those who live close to the highway. Engineers have come up with several solutions to the problem. One solution is noise barriers which can be dirt mounds between a highway and homes or high vertical walls. A second solution is planting vegetation such as trees. Select one of the two options and answer the following:

1. Identify the wave interaction involved in your chosen solution. (i. e. refraction, reflection, diffraction)

2. Explain how the interaction would reduce noise for the homeowners.

3. Identify how the interaction would affect noise for the highway.

Which describes fat? a: a carbohydrate that produces energy b: a nucleic acid that directs cell function c: a lipid that stores energy d: a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction

Is a measure of the resistance to flow. a high liquid has a high resistance to flow and flows slowly. the ancients thought everything in the world was made of 4 we now know that there are 94 naturally occurring and scientists have created another 24 i am certain they will create even more. honey flows slowly because it has a high to flowing. a can be separated by physical means because it contains more than one pure substance and 2 pure substances are not chemically bonded to each other. a cannot be separated by physical means. all matter is made up of all elements are with the same number of protons. if it is just a single or many bonded together, if all of them have the same number of protons, it is an element. in a piece of pure iron metal, all the are joined together, that piece of iron metal is called elemental iron. a single of iron is called elemental iron. a mixture has differences from place to place. we might need a microscope to see them or they might be obvious to the unaided eye. there are surfaces separating it into different phases. a mixture is the same everywhere. it is uniform. there are no surfaces separating it into different phases. if different kinds of atoms (different elements) are bonded together by their electrons, it is called a there are physical means of to isolate the different pure substances in a mixture and there are chemical means of to isolate the different elements in a compound. 1. element 2. compound 3. mixture 4. heterogeneous 5. homogeneous 6. pure substance 7. atoms 8. separation 9. viscosity 10. resistance

What happens to the temperature of a substance when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases?
