Why do sound waves need a medium through which to travel?

BARSIC [14]3 years ago

Sound waves need a medium to travel in because sounds are vibrations in mediums. That's the reason why the phrase "Nobody can hear you scream in space" came from. Space has no medium for sound to reverberate through.<span />

A 3.00 kg mass is traveling at an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. What is the
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force required to bring the mass to rest is 15 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 3 .00 kg

initial speed of the mass, u = 25 m/s

distance traveled by the mass, d = 62.5 m

The acceleration of the mass is given as;

v² = u² + 2ad

at the maximum distance of 62.5 m, the final velocity of the mass = 0

0 = u² + 2ad

-2ad = u²

-a = u²/2d

-a = (25)² / (2 x 62.5)

-a = 5

a = -5 m/s²

the magnitude of the acceleration = 5 m/s²

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

F = 3 x 5

F = 15 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the force required to bring the mass to rest is 15 N.
