Sound will travel fastest in air at 15°C.

<h3>Speed of sound in air</h3>

The speed of sound in air, given in the range of 100 degrees Celsius and 0 degree Celsius include;

Air at 100°C 387 m/s

Air at 0°C 331 m/s

From the date above, the speed of sound in air increases with increases in temperature. Thus, Sound will travel fastest in air at 15°C.

A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total

Lynna [10]

Explanation:

Given Data

Total mass=93.5 kg

Rock mass=0.310 kg

Initially wagon speed=0.540 m/s

rock speed=16.5 m/s

To Find

The speed of the wagon

Solution

As the wagon rolls, momentum is given as

P=mv

where

m is mass

v is speed

put the values

P=93.5kg × 0.540 m/s

P =50.49 kg×m/s

Now we have to find the momentum of rock

momentum of rock = mv

momentum of rock = (0.310kg)×(16.5 m/s)

momentum of rock =5.115 kg×m/s

From the conservation of momentum we can find the wagons momentum So

wagon momentum=50.49 -5.115 = 45.375 kg×m/s

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

Speed of wagon=45.375/(93.5-0.310)

Speed of wagon= 0.487 m/s

Throwing rock backward,

momentum of wagon = 50.49+5.115 = 55.605 kg×m/s

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

speed of wagon = 55.605 kg×m/s/(93.5kg-0.310kg)

speed of wagon= 0.5967 m/s

Kim throws a beach ball up in the air. It reaches its maximum height 0.50s later. We can ignore air resistance. What was the bea

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The beach ball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air is <u>4.9 m/s.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken by the ball to reach maximum height is, $t=0.50\ s$

We know that, velocity of an object at the highest point is always zero. So, final velocity of the ball is, $v=0\ m/s$

Also, acceleration acting on the ball is always due to gravity. So, acceleration of the ball is, $a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2$

The negative sign is used as acceleration is a vector and it acts in the downward direction.

Now, we have the equation of motion relating initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time given as:

$v=u+at$

Where, 'u' is the initial velocity.

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

$0=u-9.8(0.5)\\u=9.8\times 0.5\\u=4.9\ m/s$

Therefore, the beach ball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air is 4.9 m/s

A 980 kg roller coaster cart is traveling along a track at 17 m/s before it rolls down a 30 m tall hill (Point A). What will be

MrRissso [65]

The kinetic energy halfway the hill is $2.86\cdot 10^5 J$

Explanation:

If there are no friction forces acting on the cart, we can apply the law of conservation of energy: the mechanical energy of the cart (which is the sum of potential energy + kinetic energy) must be conserved. So we can write:

$U_A +K_A = U_B + K_B$
