A mosquito flaps its wings 600 vibrations per second which produces the annoying 600Hz buzz. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. How

far does the sound travel between wing beats?

Answer:

\lambda=0.57m

Explanation:

The distance traveled by the sound wave between the beats of the wing is its wavelength, since it is defined as the distance traveled by a periodic disturbance that propagates in a cycle, is defined as:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Where v is the speed of sound and f the frequency of the wing beats

\lambda=\frac{340\frac{m}{s}}{600Hz}\\\lambda=0.57m

Q 6: A body throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the ground after 5 seconds. Find
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Taking gravity to be 9.8m/s2, The velocity is 24.5m/s2.

Taking gravity to be 10m/s2, The velocity is 25m/s2.

Explanation:

According the first formula of motion under the influence of gravity for upward motion, v=u-gt, where v=final velocity, u=initial velocity, and t= time taken.

Here the time taken for the ball to reach the maximum point is half of 5, which is 2.5 seconds.

And v is 0, since at the maximum point gravity slows down the velocity to 0.

Finding the initial velocity,

v=u-gt

0=u-10(2.5)

u=10(2.5)

u=25m/s

What is sediment and debris, and what role does it play in the way sedimentary rock forms?
quester [9]
Sediments are pieces of rock that come from other rocks that were eroded or broken by wind, water or other mechanical forces. Debris are pieces of other materials that were also swept away. 

When these sediments and debris settle, they create layers. These layers are called beds. In time, several layers of other sediments and debris form on top of each other which press down onto the previous layers. Because of the pressure from the weight of the newer layers, the sediments and debris are pressed together and go through cementation. These then produce sedimentary rocks. 

Metamorphic rocks form when rocks undergo heat and pressure. The heat comes from the friction resulting from the pressure. The heat can also come from radioactive decay. The rocks then slowly bake into new rocks called metamorphic rocks. 

Igneous rocks form when magma and lava cool down. Magma is molten fluid found beneath the surface of the Earth. Lava is magma that has reached the surface of the Earth. When they cool down, they crystallize which make igneous rocks. 

The difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks is that one is made beneath the Earth and the other is made on the surface of the Earth. When magma cools, it takes a long time and the product of this cooling are intrusive igneous rocks. On the other hand, extrusive igneous rock is the result of lava cooling, which does not take as long to cool down because it occurs on the surface of the Earth.

Examples of the following types of rocks:

Sedimentary: limestone, sandstone, siltstone
Metamorphic: Marble, gneiss, slate
Igneous: Gabbro (intrusive), granite (Intrusive), obsidian (extrusive)

The specific heat capacity of solid copper metal is 0.385 J/gK. How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of a
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: 26.6 J

Explanation:

The heat needed to raise the temperature of a solid body, using only  a conductive process, has been empirically showed to be equal to the following expression:

Q= c . m.  (t2 – t1)

where c= specific heat capacity (in J/gK), m= mass of the solid (in g) ,

and (t2 - t1)= difference between final and initial temperatures.

Replacing by the values, we get:

Q= 0.385 J/gK . 1,550 g. (77.5ºC – 33.0ºC)= 26.6 J
