Answer:

In a vacuum

Explanation:

Sound is a type of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves that propagate through the oscillation of the particles in a medium, which can be either gas, liquid or solid.

A sound wave in air, for instance, is simply produced by the oscillations of the air particles back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave.

Given this definition, it is clear that mechanical waves (and so, sound waves as well) cannot be transmitted if there is no medium: therefore, they cannot be transmitted in a vacuum. So, the sound of the ringing bell would not be present in a vacuum.

60 POINTS ANSWER CORRECTLY
ohaa [14]

Answer:

C ) 1.53

Explanation:

The critical angle of a material is given by the formula

sin c = \frac{1}{n}

where

c is the critical angle

n is the refractive index

This formula is valid if the second medium is air (which is the case of the problem).

In this problem, we know the critical angle:

c=40.8^{\circ}

Therefore we can rearrange the equation to find the refractive index:

n=\frac{1}{sin c}=\frac{1}{sin 40.8^{\circ}}=1.53

The drag force that resists the motion of a car traveling at 80 km h^- 1 is 300 N.
kobusy [5.1K]

The power require to keep the car traveling is 6,666 W.

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is 3,999.6 W.

<h3>What is Instantaneous power?</h3>

This the product of force and velocity of the given object.

The power require to keep the car traveling is calculated as follows;

P = Fv

P = 300\ N \ \times  \ \frac{80 \ kmh^{-1}}{3.6 \ km h^{-1}/m/s} \\\\&#10;P = 300 \ N \times 22.22 \ m/s\\\\&#10;P = 6,666 \ W

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is calculated as follows;

E = \frac{P_{out}}{P _{in}} \times 100\%\\\\&#10;60\% = \frac{P_{out}}{6,666} \times 100\%\\\\&#10;0.6 = \frac{P_{out}}{6,666} \\\\&#10;P_{out} = 3,999.6 \ W
