If you shout on the moon,will the sound travel faster or slower than on earth?why?

1 answer:

7 0

As long as the sound is inside the helmet of your space suit, it will travel
at the same speed as it would on Earth, through the same mixture of gases
at the same pressure. Once it passes through the visor of your space helmet,
its 'speed' has no meaning, since there's nothing for sound to travel through on
the moon, and it doesn't travel at all.

A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a dent 22 cm deep in the tru

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of the meteorite, $a=-38409.09\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

A Meteorite after striking struck a car, v = 0

Initial speed of the Meteorite, u = 130 m/s

Distance covered by Meteorite, s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

We need to find the magnitude of its deceleration. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{-(130)^2}{2\times 0.22}$

$a=-38409.09\ m/s^2$

So, the deceleration of the Meteorite is $-38409.09\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

What does the magnitude of centripetal acceleration depend on ?

MariettaO [177]

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration ac is the acceleration experienced while in uniform circular motion. It always points toward the center of rotation. It is perpendicular to the linear velocity v and has the magnitude ac=v2r;ac=rω2 a c = v 2 r ; a c = r ω 2 .

Two electrodes, separated by a distance d, in a vacuum are maintained at a constant potential difference. An electron, accelerat

Alja [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, the distance between the electrode is d.

The electron kinetic energy is Ek when the electrode are at distance "d" apart.

So, we want to find the K.E when that are at d/3 distance apart.

K.E = ½mv²

Note: the mass doesn't change, it is only the velocity that change.

Also,

K.E = Work done by the electron

K.E = F × d

K.E = W = ma × d

Let assume that if is constant acceleration

Then, m and a is constant,

Then,

K.E is directly proportional to d

So, as d increase K.E increase and as d decreases K.E decreases.

So,

K.E_1 / d_1 = K.E_2 / d_2

K.E_1 = E_k

d_1 = d

d_2 = d/3

K.E_2 = K.E_1 / d_1 × d_2

K.E_2 = E_k × ⅓d / d

Then,

K.E_2 = ⅓E_k

So, the new kinetic energy is one third of the E_k
