1) B. longitudinal.

2) B. air is cooler than the ground.

Explanation

There are two categories of a wave. That is transverse and longitudinal waves. Transverse waves forms crests and troughs while longitudinal forms compressions and rarefaction as they travel. Rarefactions are regions where the wavelengths are longer than other regions.

As the ray of light moves from an optically less dense to a more dense region it bends towards the normal.

If the sound is bending away from the earth's surface, then the ground must be warmer than the air. As the sound travels it moves from optically dense medium to a less dense medium. For this reason it bends away from the normal. This can only happen when, B. air is cooler than the ground.

A steel ball with mass m is suspended from the ceiling at the bottom end of a light, 17.0-m-long rope. The ball swings back and

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

1. 18.25 m/s

2. 0 m/s

Explanation:

1.So the centripetal acceleration of the ball at this lowest point must be, taking gravity into account

$a_c = \frac{T - mg}{m} = \frac{3mg - mg}{m} = 2g$

The speed at this point would then be

$v^2 = a_c r = 2gr = 2*9.8*17 = 333.2$

$v = \sqrt{333.2} = 18.25 m/s$

2. Similarly, if T = mg, then the centripetal acceleration must be

$a_c = \frac{T - mg}{m} = \frac{mg - mg}{m} = 0$

As the ball has no centripetal acceleration, its speed must also be 0 as well.

A 10.0-g bullet moving at 300 m/s is fired into a 1.00-kg block at rest. the bullet emerges (the bullet does not get embedded in

sesenic [268]

Momentum before the hit:
p = mv = 0.01 * 300 + 1 * 0

Momentum after the hit:
p = 0.01 * 150 + 1 * v

Momentum is conserved:
0.01 * 300 = 0.01 * 150 + v
3 = 1.5 + v
v = 1.5

The velocity of the block after the collision is 1.5 m/s.

What is the potential difference across one wire of a 70 m extension cord made of 16 gauge copper wire carrying a current of 4 A

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

V = 3.6 volts

Explanation:

From Ohm's Law, we know that:

V = IR

but,

R = ρL/A

Therefore,

V = IρL/A

where,

V = Potential Difference = ?

I = Current = 4 A

ρ = resistivity of copper = 1.68 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m

L = Length = 70 m

A = Cross-sectional Area = πd²/4 = π(1.29 x 10⁻³ m)²/4 [16 gauge wire has a diameter of 1.29 mm]

A = 1.31 x 10⁻⁶ m²

V = (4 A)(1.68 x 10⁻⁸ Ω.m)(70 m)/(1.31 x 10⁻⁶ m²)

V = 3.6 volts

kkurt [141]

Answer:

the correct answer is

Explanation:

The small intestine absorbs most of the nutrients in your food,and your circulatory system passes them on to other parts of your body to store or use. Special cells helped absorbed nutrients cross the intestinal lining into your blood stream.

What's the difference between shunt and multiplier?

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

A Shunt is a passive element, usually resistive, that is used to bypass current around another element, like a meter, that is not able to handle the full current flow. ... A Multiplier is an active element that amplifies a voltage or current to enable a less sensitive device or circuit to make use of it.
