The wave will be reflected back, depending on the angle it hits, or it will bounce (but not exactly using the same route)

hope this helps

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on

lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N

A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.

zaharov [31]

Given that,

Frequency emitted by the bat, f = 47.6 kHz

The speed off sound in air, v = 413 m/s

We need to find the wavelength detected by the bat. The speed of a wave is given by formula as follows :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{413}{47.6\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=0.00867\ m$

$\lambda=8.67\ mm$

So, the bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes i.e. 8.67 mm.

The dimensions of a cylinder are changing, but the height is always equal to the diameter of the base of the cylinder. If the he

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

dV/dt = 9 cubic inches per second

Explanation:

Let the height of the cylinder is h

Diameter of cylinder = height of the cylinder = h

Radius of cylinder, r = h/2

dh/dt = 3 inches /s

Volume of cylinder is given by

$V = \pi r^{2}h$

put r = h/2 so,

$V = \pi \frac{h^{3}}{4}$

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3h^{2}}{4}\times \frac{dh}{dt}$

Substitute the values, h = 2 inches, dh/dt = 3 inches / s

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3\times 2\times 2}{4}\times 3$

dV/dt = 9 cubic inches per second

Thus, the volume of cylinder increases by the rate of 9 cubic inches per second.

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.50 mm above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: $4.65\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given

Distance putty has to travel is 3.5 m

The initial speed of putty is 9.50 m/s

Using equation of motion to determine the velocity of putty just before it hits ceiling

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$\Rightarrow v^2-(9.5)^2=2(-9.8)(3.5)\\\\\Rightarrow v^2=9.5^2-68.6\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{90.25-68.6}\\\Rightarrow v=4.65\ m/s$

So, the velocity of putty just before hitting is $4.65\ m/s$
