<h3>Answer;</h3>

-Temperature

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Sound is a type of mechanical wave, which means it requires a material medium for transmission. It results from the vibration of particles.
The speed of sound in mediums varies depending on the property of the medium and a number of other factors which includes; temperature, pressure, and humidity.
Temperature increases the speed of sound wave as particles at higher temperatures tend to possess more energy and thus they will vibrate faster and thus the sound wave will travel faster.

A 4 kW vacuum cleaner is powered by an electric motor whose efficiency is 90%. (Note that the electric motor delivers 4 W of net

RoseWind [281]

Answer: $3.6\ kW$

Explanation:

Given

Power Supplied $[tex]P_{input}=4\ kW$ [/tex]

Efficiency of the motor $\neta =90\%$

and $\neta =\dfrac{\text{Power output}}{\text{Power input}}$

$\Rightarrow 0.9=\dfrac{P_{out}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow P=0.9\times 4$

$\Rightarrow P=3.6\ kW$

So, vacuum cleaner delivers a power of $3.6\ kW$

Block A has a mass of 0.5kg, and block B has a mass of 2kg. Block is is released at a height of 0.75 meters above B. The coeffic

VikaD [51]

Answer:

0.075 m

Explanation:

The picture of the problem is missing: find it in attachment.

At first, block A is released at a distance of

h = 0.75 m

above block B. According to the law of conservation of energy, its initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so we can write:

$m_Agh=\frac{1}{2}m_Av_A^2$

where

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

$m_A=0.5 kg$ is the mass of the block

$v_A$ is the speed of the block A just before touching block B

Solving for the speed,

$v_A=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(0.75)}=3.83 m/s$

Then, block A collides with block B. The coefficient of restitution in the collision is given by:

$e=\frac{v'_B-v'_A}{v_A-v_B}$

where:

e = 0.7 is the coefficient of restitution in this case

$v_B'$ is the final velocity of block B

$v_A'$ is the final velocity of block A

$v_A=3.83 m/s$

$v_B=0$ is the initial velocity of block B

Solving,

$v_B'-v_A'=e(v_A-v_B)=0.7(3.83)=2.68 m/s$

Re-arranging it,

$v_A'=v_B'-2.68$ (1)

Also, the total momentum must be conserved, so we can write:

$m_A v_A + m_B v_B = m_A v'_A + m_B v'_B$

where

$m_B=2 kg$

And substituting (1) and all the other values,

$m_A v_A = m_A (v_B'-2.68) + m_B v_B'\\v_B' = \frac{m_A v_A +2.68 m_A}{m_A + m_B}=1.30 m/s$

This is the velocity of block B after the collision. Then, its kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy of the spring when it comes to rest, according to

$\frac{1}{2}m_B v_B'^2 = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k = 600 N/m is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

And solving for x,

$x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2)(1.30)^2}{600}}=0.075 m$

Why would a rocket fall vertically downwards if it was launched vertically upwards

IgorC [24]

Answer:

It would because the shape of the rocket is designed to be able to slice through the air as smooth as possible and now you may be thinking that air is already smooth but when you try to push something as large and heavy like a rocket then the shape of the rocket will be very important. The bottom of the rocket is flatter then the top so it is not designed to fly smoothly through the air. So the rocket would fall vertically downward(If it was still in one piece)because of it's shape. It is easier for the top of the rocket to go smoothly through the air then the bottom.

I am 90% sure this is correct but if I'm not please tell me
