Answer:

it's true

Explanation:

High–pitched sounds have short wavelengths, which means that the peaks are close together. Low–pitched sounds have longer wavelengths, so the peaks are more spread out.

Car B has the same mass as Car A but is going twice as fast. If the same constant force brings both cars to a stop, how far will

evablogger [386]

Answer:four times

Explanation:

Given

mass of both cars A and B are same suppose m

but velocity of car B is same as of car A

Suppose velocity of car A is u

Velocity of car B is 2 u

A constant force is applied on both the cars such that they come to rest by travelling certain distance

using to find the distance traveled

where, v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration(offered by force)

s=displacement

final velocity is zero

For car A

$0-(u)^2=2\times a\times s$

$s_a=\frac{u^2}{2a}------1$

For car B

$0-(2u)^2=2\times a\times s_b$

$s_b=\frac{4u^2}{2a}----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$\frac{s_a}{s_b}=\frac{1}{4}$

thus $s_b=4\cdot s_a$

distance traveled by car B is four time of car A

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point

vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

Where,

$v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s$

$\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m$

Therefore the frequency would be given as

$f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}$

$f = 57.14Hz$

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi *57.14$

$\omega = 359.03rad/s$

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

$V_{max} = A\omega$

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

$V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)$

$V_{max} = 3.59m/s$

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the sun. its closest approach to the sun is a distance of 4.5 1010 m (inside the orbit

barxatty [35]

r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m

v1 = 9*10^4 m/s

From conservation of energy

K1 +U1 = K2 +U2

0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2

0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2

M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2

0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))

v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s

Suppose that instead of being inclined to Earth's orbit around the Sun, the Moonâs orbit was in the same plane as Earthâs orbit

ycow [4]

Answer:

c) 12

Explanation:

A Solar eclipse occurs when The Sun, The Earth and The Moon comes in a straight line with the Moon being in between the Earth and the Sun. At this point the Moon appears to block the Sun and Moon's shadow falls on Earth. This would occur only on the day of the New Moon.

If the Moon's orbit was in the same plane as that of the Earth's orbit. Every new Moon, there would be a Solar Eclipse. The Lunar cycle is of 29.5 Days which means there will be one new Moon every month. So there will be 12 Solar Eclipses every year.

Currently, the orbit of the Moon is tilted at an angle of 5° thus we don't see that many Solar eclipses. Maximum of 5 solar eclipses can occur in an year.

How many times does a human heart beat during a person’s lifetime? How many gallons of blood does it pump? (Estimate that the he

Nostrana [21]

Answer: The heart pumps 124.2 billion cm³ of blood in a lifetime

Explanation:

as an adult the pulse rate average must be around 72 beats per minute.

The heart beats about 103,680 times in a day.

There are 365 days in a year

number of heart beat in a year = 365 days x 103,680 = 37,843,200 beats in a year

For every the heart pumps 50cm³ of blood,

Hence,

Amount of blood pump in a year = 50 x 37,843,200 = 1,892,160,000cm³ of blood pumped in a year.

Using the estimated lifespan average an individual is 69 years

So in a life time,

The human heart pumps = 1,892,160,000 x 69 years = 124,200,000,000

If the heart pumps 50cm³ of blood per beat, the heart pumps a total of 130,559,040,000 cm³ (130.6 billion cm³) of blood in a LIFETIME.
