The speed of sound in wood is ____ the speed of sound in water.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

greater

Explanation:

the speed of sound in steel is greater than water. the speed of sound in wood is not, In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Wood is less dense and force can make a sound.

You and a highway patrolman are driving at constant speeds in opposite directions on a straight highway. The patrolman is drivin
kompoz [17]

Answer:  75 mph

Explanation:

The Relative Speed for a mobile is equal to the diference between the object and the observer:

Relative Speed (Rs) = Object's Velocity  - Observer's Velocity

Thinking on those terms, we would need to have a universal observer to do any understandable measurement on daily basics. This is why we all use earth as a Static Observer for every measurement we do everyday.

Using Earth as an observer, the Velocity for the Patrolman is:

Patrolman Velocity (Vp) = 60 mph

Because the radar gun does measure the Relative Speed for the object, which is 135 mph, we need to work with the equation to find the Velocity using Earth as a reference.

Object's Relative Velocity = Object's Velocity - Patrolman's Velocity

Object's Velocity = Object's Relative Velocity + Patrolman's Velocity

We need to keep in mind, the Patrolman is going on the opposite direction. Because of this the sign for his velocity should be negative.

Object's Velocity = 135 mph + ( -60 mph)

Object's Velocity = 135 mph - 60 mph

Object's Velocity = 75 mph

A ball is thrown straight up with enough speed so that it is in the air for several seconds. Assume the positive direction is up
Andrew [12]

Answer:

a) v= 0 m/s b) v= 6.86 m/s

Explanation:

a) When the ball reaches to its highest point, under the influence of gravity, before starting to fall down, it momentarily comes to an stop (this is needed prior to change direction in any movement), so, applying the definition of acceleration, and replacing the acceleration a by g, we have:

vf = v₀ - g*t (1)

The minus sign means that the acceleration due to gravity is always downward, so if we assume that the positive direction is upwards it must be negative.

At the highest point, vf= 0.

b) Prior to solve this point, we need to know which is the time when the ball reaches to its highest point.

As we know vf=0, we can solve (1) for t, as follows:

th = v₀/g

Now, for a time that is 0.7 s before this time, applying the acceleration definition and solving for v again, we have:

v = v₀ -(g *(th-0.7 s)), but th= v₀/g, so we get:

v= v₀ -g((v₀/g)-0.7 s) = v₀ - v₀ + g*0.7 s

⇒ v=g*0.7 s = 9.8 m/s²*0.7 s

⇒ v = 6.86 m/s
