What describes a sound wave as it travels through a medium

1 answer:

5 0

Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

a.14 s

b.70 s

Explanation:

a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.

Speed of sidewalk relative to ground= $v_s=1m/s$

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground

$v_w=v_s+v=1+1.5=2.5m/s$

Distance=35 m

Time= $\frac{distance}{speed}$

Using the formula

Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving= $\frac{35}{v_w}=\frac{35}{2.5}=14s$

b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)

Then, we take displacement negative.

Speed of sidewalk relative to ground= $v_s=1m/s$

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground= $v_w=v_s+v=1-1.5=-0.5m/s$

Time= $\frac{-35}{-0.5}=70 s$

Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.

Identify characteristics of energy from the Sun. Check all that apply.

-BARSIC- [3]

Almost all of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun

The energy in fossil fuels originally came from the Sun

Plants convert the energy

Explanation:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy on earth and even the whole of the solar system. The sun drives and powers all external processes on earth. It produces its energy from the nuclear fusion of lighter nuclei into heavier ones.

Almost all of the energy on earth comes from the sun. A few component of the energy on the surface comes from the internal heat engine.
The energy of fossil fuels originally came from the sun. This is because, plants stores the energy in the process of photosynthesis. When they die and the energy is not released, the energy is stored as fossil fuels.
Plants in the process of photosynthesis converts the energy. Here green plants combines carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

How much work is accomplished when a force of 250 N pushes a box across the floor for a distance of 50 meters?

mote1985 [20]

We use the work formula to solve for the unknown in the problem. The formula for work is expressed as the product of the net force and the distance traveled by the object. We were given both the force and the distance so we can solve work directly.

Work = 250 N x 50 m = 12500 J

Thus, the answer is C.

Needddd helppppppp!!!

Answer:

2/9 times as strong.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following assumptions were made:

Initial mass of 1st planet (M₁ ) = M

Initial mass of 2nd planet (m₁ ) = m

Initial distance apart (r₁) = r

Initial Force of attraction (F₁) = F

Final mass of 1st planet (M₂) = 2M

Final mass of 1st planet (m₂) = constant = m

Final distance apart (r₂) = 3r

Final force of attraction (F₂) =?

Next, we shall obtain an expression to determine the new force. This can be obtained as follow:

F = GMm / r²

Cross multiply

Fr² = GMm

Divide both side by Mn

G = Fr² / Mm

Since G is constant, then we have

F₁r₁² / M₁m₁ = F₂r₂² / M₂m₂

Finally, we shall determine the new force as follow:

Initial mass of 1st planet (M₁ ) = M

Initial mass of 2nd planet (m₁ ) = m

Initial distance apart (r₁) = r

Initial Force of attraction (F₁) = F

Final mass of 1st planet (M₂) = 2M

Final mass of 1st planet (m₂) = constant = m

Final distance apart (r₂) = 3r

Final force of attraction (F₂) =?

F₁r₁² / M₁m₁ = F₂r₂² / M₂m₂

Fr² / Mm = F₂ × (3r)² / 2M × m

Fr² / Mm = F₂ × 9r² / 2Mm

Cross multiply

Fr² × 2Mm = F₂ × 9r² × Mm

Divide both side by 9r² × Mm

F₂ = Fr² × 2Mm / 9r² × Mm

F₂ = F × 2 / 9

F₂ = 2/9 F

Thus, the new force is 2/9 times the original force i.e 2/9 times as strong.
