D.vibrations that cause changes in air pressure

Explanation:

Sound is a type of wave.

A wave is a periodic disturbance/oscillation that trasmits energy without transmitting matter. There are two different types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. These waves are characterized by the presence of crests (points of maximum positive displacement) and troughs (points of maximum negative displacement). Examples of transverse wave are electromagnetic waves.

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. These waves are characterized by the presence of compressions (regions where the density of particle is higher) and rarefactions (regions where the density of particle is lower). Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Sound waves, in particular, consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium - most commonly, air - that occur back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave. Because of these motion, the air will have areas of higher pressure (which correspond to the compressions), where the density of particles is higher, and areas of lower pressure (which correspond to the rarefactions), where density of particles is lower.

Option D

Vibrations that cause changes in air pressure

Explanation:

Sound is the disturbance or vibration of longitudinal mechanical waves which cause change in air pressure through a medium such as gas, liquid or solid. Therefore, what causes sound are these vibrations which subsequently cause changes in air pressure. When sound is transmitted and reflected, we call it pitch.

Will give brainliest! which statement best describes the difference between strong nuclear forces and weak nuclear forces? weak nuclear forces are involved when certain types of atoms break down. strong nuclear forces are responsible for holding atoms' nucleus together. weak nuclear forces hold bonds between atoms together. strong nuclear forces hold together the nucleus of an atom. strong nuclear bonds prevent atoms from falling apart. weak nuclear bonds prevent compounds from falling apart. strong nuclear forces are involved in breaking electrons from their shells. weak nuclear forces hold protons in the nucleus.

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i. e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i. e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)

Assume you measured the mass of the cart to be (500 ± 1) g and the mass of the additional mass you put on the cart to be (500 ± 1) g as well. since the scale you are using in the lab cannot measure objects heavier than 600g you will have to sum up individual pieces and propagate the error. so what would be the mass and the standard error of the cart and the mass
