Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science
You sure wouldn't want something like cm/s or (yikes cm/hr). You want a reasonable number for sports usually between 0 and 100
Km / hour would be a good choice.
The next town to where I live is 25 km away. On a good day, I can make it there in about 3/4 of an hour.
Speed = 25 km / 0.75 hour = 33.3 km/hour. That's actually a little fast most of the time. But you should understand what I mean.
- Gravitational force depends only on mass and distance, not on the state of matter.
- The forces of attraction between molecules in matter are electromagnetic in nature, not gravitational.
- These attractive forces are stronger in a solid than in a liquid than in a gas.
- Gravitational forces between molecules is completely negligible compared to the em forces.
So, key answer is inter-molecular forces of solids is stronger than liquids.
Answer:
f = 4000 / 30 sec = 133.3 vibrations/sec
P = 1 / f = .0075 sec period of 1 vibration
