What is the speed of sound in a vacuum?

Physics

NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago

Since a vacuum is empty space, there is no medium for the sound to travel through. The speed of sound in air mainly depends on the temperature of the air. On average, it is about 343 meters per second (1,125 feet per second),

The speed of sound in vacuum is zero meters per second. Without a physical medium, sound can't propagate, so it can never get from here to there, no matter how short the distance is.

Determine the stopping distances for a car with an initial speed of 88 km/h and human reaction time of 2.0 s for the following a
seropon [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 88 km/h = 24.44 m/s

Reaction time, t = 2 s

Distance covered during this time, d=24.44\times 2=48.88\ m

(a) Acceleration, a=-4\ m/s^2

We need to find the stopping distance, v = 0. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

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

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -4}

s = 74.66 meters

s = 74.66 + 48.88 = 123.54 meters

(b) Acceleration, a=-8\ m/s^2

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

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -8}

s = 37.33 meters

s = 37.33 + 48.88 = 86.21 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

Amanda goes shopping for light bulbs. In the light bulb aisle, she finds the following incandescent light bulbs. Can you help he
Luden [163]

Answer:

The least efficient light bulb is the first one (25 W - 210 Lumen)

Explanation:

Efficiency can be defined as what you want to obtain over what you need to produce it. In this case Eff= Wattage / Lumen. For each light bulb, their efficiency is: 8.4 / 11.12 / 15.7 Lum/W

An animal cell placed in pure distilled 100% will
jasenka [17]

in a hypotonic solution like distilled water, a red blood cell would burst, because inside the cell has a higher solute concentration than outside.

In a hypertonic solution, there is a higher solute concentration on the outside of the cell than on the inside, causing the cell to shrivel.

i hope this helps

if weight is the force of gravity on an object, then your weight can change if the force of gravity is different on a different
Lapatulllka [165]
Yes, your weight can change if the force of gravity is different on a different planet.

Like on the Moon because acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 that on the Earth, your weight on the Moon would be 1/6 the value on the Earth.
 
But note that you mass remains the same.
