Space is in a vacuum. Sound cannot travel without air and space doesnt have air. Thats the best explanation.

Sound waves move through molecules. When there are no molecules in a certain space, sound cannot travel - whether in a vacuum or in space.

Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile? Answ
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: 272.82 drop/tile

Explanation:

Given that the Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile?

Tiles/ft^2 × drop/tiles = drop/ft^2

Tiles will cancel out. Leaving the answer to be drop/ ft^2

Substitutes all the magnitude of the above units.

17 × drop/tiles = 4638

Make drop/tiles the subject of formula

Drop/tiles = 4638/17

Drop/tiles = 272.82

Therefore, 272.82 drop/tile drops fall on each tile?

How much would you have to eat for your appendix to explode ? I ate so much on thanksgiving and i need to know i’m very scared
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

I don't think your appendix can explode because you ate too much honestly. It's not even possible to eat so much that your appendix explodes, and if you're feeling any pain it definitely isn't because your appendix is about to explode, believe me. Also you could just type it into the internet, that'd be a much faster solution.

A mason is shot with a constant speed of 7.5 x 10²m/sinto a region, when an electric field produces acceleration on the mason of
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Distance, d = 0.1 m

It is given that,

Initial velocity of meson,

Finally, the meson is coming to rest v = 0

Acceleration of the meson,  (opposite to initial velocity)

Using third equation of motion as :

s is the distance the meson travelled before coming to rest.

So,

 

s = 0.1 m

The meson will cover the distance of 0.1 m before coming to rest. Hence, this is the required solution.

If a snowboarder’s initial speed is 4 m/s and comes to rest when making it to the upper level. With a slightly greater initial s
Brrunno [24]

(a) At a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).

(b) If the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The effect of height  and gravity on speed on the given planet Epislon is determined by applying the principle of conservation of mechanical energy as shown below;

ΔK.E = ΔP.E

¹/₂m(v²- u²) = mg(hi - hf)

¹/₂(v²- u²) = g(0 - hf)

v² - u² = -2ghf

v² = u² - 2ghf

where;

  • v is the final velocity at upper level
  • u is the initial velocity
  • hf is final height
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

when u² = 2gh, then v² = 0,

when gravity reduces, u² > 2gh, and v² > 0

Thus, at a corresponding hill on Earth and a lesser gravity on planet Epslion, the height of the hill will cause a reduction in the initial speed of the snowboarder from 4 m/s to a value greater than zero (0).

<h3>Final speed</h3>

v² = u² - 2ghf

where;

  • u is the initial speed = 5 m/s
  • g is acceleration due to gravity and its less than 9.8 m/s²
  • v is final speed
  • hf is equal height

Since g on Epislon is less than 9.8 m/s² of Earth;

5² - 2ghf > 3 m/s

Thus, if the initial speed at the bottom of the hill is 5 m/s, the final speed at the top of the hill be greater than 3 m/s.

The unit of force,newton is a derived unit.why?​
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Newton, the unit of force, is defined based on Newton's Second Law (F=ma), as the force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 meter/second2. Thus, it is derived from these other units.
