Speed decreases more the denser the medium.
Since density of a material normally decreases with temperature, it is not surprising that the speed of light in a liquid will normally increase as the temperature increases. (Thus, the index of refraction normally decreases)

A rifle bullet with mass ma = 8.00 g strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass mb = 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless,
Doss [256]

Answer:

the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after impact is 2.598 m/s and the original speed of the bullect is 324.76m/s.

Explanation:

a)  Kinetic energy of block = potential energy in spring  

½ mv² = ½ kx²

Here m stands for combined mass (block + bullet),

which is just 1 kg.  Spring constant k is unknown, but you can find it from given data:  

k = 0.75 N / 0.25 cm

= 3 N/cm, or 300 N/m.  

From the energy equation above, solve for v,

v = v √(k/m)  

= 0.15 √(300/1)

= 2.598 m/s.

b)  Momentum before impact = momentum after impact.

Since m = 1 kg,

v = 2.598 m/s,

p = 2.598 kg m/s.  

This is the same momentum carried by bullet as it strikes the block.  Therefore, if u is bullet speed,  

u = 2.598 kg m/s / 8 × 10⁻³ kg

= 324.76 m/s.

Hence, the magnitude of the velocity of the block just after impact is 2.598 m/s and the original speed of the bullect is 324.76m/s.

What length of tube would be required to produce a second tone under the same experimental conditions? Explain your answer.
Alisiya [41]

There is an indirect relationship between length and frequency. The longer the length the pipe has, the higher frequency it is. The shorter the length the pipe has, the lower frequency it is.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The four properties of the string that affect its frequency are length, diameter, tension, and density. These properties are described below: When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.

The longer the tube is the lower the pitch of the note that it can emit. When a tube is heated it expands and so is longer! As the gas in the tube gets warmer the molecules move faster, that means they can carry the vibrations of the sound wave more rapidly and so the pitch goes up.

You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizont
Rasek [7]

The time  of flight of the dart is 36.761 s, it can be used to solve the initial velocity of the dart bt the formula t= 2v/g, which v is equal to 180.31 m/s which is actually very fast. We can now solve the maximum distanc H= v^2/2g which is equal to 1657.11 m.
