How fast do sound waves travel in air? How does this compare to the speed of light waves?

Physics

Soundwaves are longitudinal waves whereas light (electromagnetic waves) are transverse waves.
Soundwaves oscillate parallel to the direction of propagation.
Light waves oscillate at right angles to the direction of propagation.

Timed! I would really appreciate some help! thank you!

Answer:

x = 5[km]

Explanation:

We must convert the time from minutes to hours.

t=30[min]*\frac{1h}{60min}= 0.5[h]\\

We know that speed is defined as the relationship between space and time.

v=x/t

where:

x = space [m]

t = time = 0.5 [h]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

x = 10[\frac{km}{h} ]*0.5[h]\\x=5[km]

A piece of wood is floating in a bathtub. A second piece of wood sits on top of the first piece, and does not touch the water. I
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

the water level remains same

Explanation:

This can be explained by Archimedes's principle which says that the wood will sink if weight of wood is more than the weight of the water displaced with weight equal to the water displaced otherwise the wood will float.

Therefore, buoyancy or the buoyant force is the same as the weight of wood, the weight of the water displaced by wood is also the same as that of the weight of wood.

Thus, we can see that the weight of the wood remains same and so is the level of water.

1. A particular lever is 90.0% efficient. If 50.0 J of work are done on the lever, then how much work does the lever do on its l
laila [671]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the efficiency formula;

Efficiency = Work done by the machine (output)/work done on the machine (input) ×100%

Efficiency =w/50 ×100

90 = 100w/50

Cross multiply

90×50 = 100W

4500 = 100W

W = 4500/100

W = 45Joules

Hence the lever does 45Joules of work on its load

2) Mechanical Advantage= Load/Effort

Given

MA = 4

Load = 500N

4 = 500/Effort

Effort = 500/4

Effort =125N

Hence the effort required to lift the load is 125N
