I don't know how good you are at sketching ... I'm terrible.
But you can put the point across in a dramatic way if you
can sketch a bowling ball and a basketball ... you'll need
to clearly identify them with the markings you sketch on
each ball.
They're the same shape and nearly the same size, but
there's a huge difference in their densities.
Answer:
a.) 1567.2 m/s
b.) 149.4 m/s
Explanation:
Given that a 26 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 350 m/s when, due to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, with a mass of 7.8 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 180 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of 8.8 kg, moves in the negative x direction with a speed of 640 m/s.
The x-component of the third part can be calculated by assuming that it moves in a positive x axis.
The third mass = 26 - ( 7.8 + 8.8)
The third mass = 26 - 16.6
The third mass = 9.4kg
since momentum is conserved, the momentum before explosion will be equal to sum of the momentum after explosion
26 x 350 = -8.8 x 640 + 9.4V
9100 = -5632 + 9.4V
9.4V = 9100 + 5632
9.4V = 14732
V = 14732/9.4
V = 1567.2 m/s
(b) y-component of the velocity of the third part will be
7.8 x 180 = 9.4 V
1404 = 9.4V
V = 1404/9.4
V = 149.4 m/s
Answer:
The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.
Answer:
It will emerge at its initial speed not a slower speed.
Explanation:
It will emerge at the initial speed because the medium at the point of emergence is the same as the medium before incidence.
Light moves at a constant speed in any particular medium. Hence, the speed of light in air is constant in air and the speed of light in glass is constant in glass.
