The one in the water would have a much greater speed than the one in the air since energy is transmitted better and faster in liquid than gas.

Answer:

a wave from a vibrating piano string in an auditorium

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of wave depends on two factors

1) Elasticity of medium

2) density of the medium

So here we know that

greatest speed out of the two given medium is for vibrating string of piano

as we know that

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

so we have

more speed in stretched string

b) The distance of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 427 light years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it woul
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Betelgeuse would be \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} times brighter than Sirius

c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} } the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect

Explanation:

The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:

B = \displaystyle{\frac{L}{4\pi d^2}} (1)

where B is the brightness, L is the star luminosity and d, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:

b) B_{Betelgeuse} = \displaystyle{\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2}} and B_{Sirius} = \displaystyle{\frac{26L_{Sun}}{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}} where L_{Sun} is the Sun luminosity (3.9 x 10^{26} W) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem. ly is light years.

Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}{26L_{Sun}} \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} }

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 1.581 \cdot 10^{-5}\ ly. Then

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sun}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (1.581\cdot 10^{-5}\ ly)^2}{1\ L_{Sun}} \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} }

Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.

Object A of mass 0.70 kg travels horizontally on a frictionless surface at 20 m/s. It collides with object B, which is initially
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

25.71 kgm/s

Explanation:

Let K₁ and K₂ be the initial and final kinetic energies of object A and v₁ and v₂ its initial and final speeds.

Given that K₂ = 0.7K₁

1/2mv₂² = 0.7(1/2mv₁²)

v₂ = √0.7v₁ = √0.7 × 20 m/s = ±16.73 m/s

Since A rebounds, its velocity = -16.73 m/s and its momentum change, p₂ = mΔv = m(v₂ - v₁) = 0.7 kg (-16.73 - 20) m/s = 0.7( -36.73) = -25.71 kgm/s.

Th magnitude of object A's momentum change is thus 25.71 kgm/s

The temperature coefficient of a certain conducting material is 5.74 × 10-3 (°C)-1. (a) At what temperature would the resistance
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Temperature at which the resistance is twice the resistance at 20^{\circ}C is 194.216^{\circ}C

Solution:

As per the question:

Temperature coefficient, \alpha = 5.74\times 10^{- 3}^{\circ}C

Reference temperature, T_{o} = 20^{\circ}C

Resistance, R_{t} = 2R_{o}

Now, using the formula:

R_{t} = R_{o}(1 + \alpha \Delta T)

2R_{o} = R_{o}(1 + \alpha \times (T _ T_{o}))

2 = 1 + 5.74\times 10^{- 3}\times (T - 20^{\circ})

\frac{1}{5.74\times 10^{- 3}} = T - 20^{\circ}

T = 174.216 + 20 = 194.216^{\circ}

  • Yes, this temperature holds for all all the conductors of copper, irrespective of the size and shape of the conductor.
