Re: Summer Hiatus Challenge -- Round 2, Day 1

Not sure if I scored on the original question, so submitting an RQ answer just in case; please ignore if I’ve already been credited for the points:
US LAW & GOVERNMENT BY THE NUMBERS
9: Ten days, not counting Sundays
- (Side question: Why does this exception for Sundays not constitute an establishment of religion? Just wondering....)
FILL IN THE LATIN PROVERB
2: “We who are about to die salute you.”
- Latin is incorrect as given, though it doesn’t affect the word relevant to the answer. Should read Morituri te salutamus; Morituri te salutant means “They who are about to die salute you.”
6: “One hand washes the other.”
8: “Tears are a woman’s weapon.”
10: “A drop hollows out stone [or a stone or the stone].”
THE SOUND OF MUSIC
3: Heinrich “The Truth” Hertz
6: I’m guessing what you intend here is air pressure (which is, indeed, measured in pascals); but perceived pitch is actually determined by the frequency of the sound wave, which is measured in hertz (see 3 above).
9: A clamplifier—not sure what you’re after here
12: Speed
15: Longitudinal waves
Respectfully submitted—
—OSC
We shall not cease from exploration,
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
