The speed of a sound wave

1 answer:

5 0

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The speed of a sound wave is slower than an electromagnetic wave or light waves are faster than sound waves. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

The gravitational potential is a distance z=0.17 m away from a distribution of mass that has the following equation:

sveta [45]

gravitational potential is given as

$V = \frac{GM}{R^2}(R^2 + Z^2)^0.5$

$E = -\frac{dV}{dz}$

$E = -\frac{GM}{R^2}\frac{d}{dz}(R^2+z^2)^0.5$

$E = -\frac{GM}{R^2}*0.5(R^2+z^2)^-0.5*2z$

$E = -\frac{GM*z}{R^2*(R^2 + z^2)^0.5}$

now plug in all values given

M = 110 kg

R = 0.55 m

z = 0.17 m

$E = -\frac{6.67 * 10^{-11}* 110*0.17}{0.55^2*(0.55^2 + 0.17^2)^0.5}$

$E = 7.16 * 10^{-9} N/kg$

so above is the field intensity

If a calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules how many joules are contained in 250 kg calories slice of pizza

Andreyy89

In order to answer this, we will set up a simple ratio as such:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules

250 kilocalories = x joules

Cross multiplying the second and third equations, we get:

x joules = 4,184 * 250

250 kilocalories are equivalent to 1,046 kJ

What is the name of the fine soil particles deposited by rivers?

Damm [24]

Silt is like a dust in terms of size. It is solid, water like rivers transport, and deposits it. It is mostly made up of minerals and rock particles. It is form due to erosion of rocks. Therefore, the fine soil particles deposited by rivers is called Silt.

How are gamma rays and microwaves similar

kompoz [17]

They are both electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. The fields oscillate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave, so they are transverse waves.

Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum. All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the same speed, known as the speed of light, equal to:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Electromagnetic waves are divided into 7 different types, depending on their wavelength and frequency. From the shortest to the longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency, since frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength), we have:

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

So as we can see, both gamma rays and microwaves are types of electromagnetic waves. The difference between them is their different wavelength/frequency: in fact, the wavelength of gamma rays is extremently short (), while microwaves have longer wavelengths (at the order of the centimeter).
