Waves travel as "packets" of several waves. in these "packets," a wave travels at a. the same speed as the wave energy b. half the speed of the wave energy c. twice the speed of the water energy d. at half the speed of the water

a. the same speed as the wave energy

Explanation:

Wave packet is only an envelope of a more localized wave. The entire wave is a combination of the discrete wave packets.

Wave is any disturbance that travels across space. A wave does not carry the particles of the medium in which travels. It carries energy from one point to another  as it travels.

For an electromagnetic wave, the energy of the wave is due to the vibrations of the electric and magnetic fields of the wave. For sound waves, wave energy is the vibrations or disturbance of the particles of the medium in which the sound wave travels.

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
