Answer: A

Causing air molecules to vibrate

Explanation:

Sound is made by vibrations. And it is an energy. When any object vibrates, it causes movement in the air particles. These particles bump into the particles close to them, which makes them vibrate too causing them to bump into more air particles. This movement, called sound waves, keeps going until they run out of energy.

There are many ways to lose weight, but a sustainable plan generally involves behavior modification related to diet and exercise
Anna007 [38]

The answer is adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients.

Explanation:

Despite that adequate nutrition, regular physical activity, and practical ways to reduce calories while retaining important nutrients is one of the best strategy to reducing weight, most time it is very difficult for those that want to reduce or control their weight to discipline themselves enough to follow these routine. But one an individual that want to loose weight or live a healthy lifestyle is able to follow these procedures he/she will surely loose weight.

A bullet of mass 11 g strikes a ballistic pendulum of mass 1.9 kg. The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bullet, m_b=11\ g=0.011\ kg

Mass of the pendulum, m_p=19\ kg

The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance of 10 cm.

We need to find the bullet's initial speed if it is assumed that the bullet remains embedded in the pendulum. Let it is v. In this case, the energy of the system remains conserved. The kinetic energy of the bullet gets converted to potential energy for the whole system. So,

\dfrac{1}{2}(m_b+m_p)V^2 =(m_b+m_p)gh\\\\V=\sqrt{2gh} \ .................(1)

V is the speed of the bullet and pendulum at the time of collision

Now using conservation of momentum as :

m_bv=(m_p+m_b)V

Put the value of V from equation (1) in above equation as :

v=\dfrac{(m_p+m_b)}{m_b}\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\dfrac{(1.9+0.011)}{0.011}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.1}\\\\v=243.21\ m/s

So, the bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.

A. What is the RMS speed of Helium atoms when the temperature of the Helium gas is 343.0 K? (Possibly useful constants: the atom
kkurt [141]

Answer:

(a) 1462.38 m/s

(b) 2068.13 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

The Kinetic energy of the atom can be given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k

K.E = Kinetic Energy of atoms = 343 K

T = absolute temperature of atoms

The K.E is also given as:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

Comparing both equations:

(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT

v² = 3KT/m

v = √[3KT/m]

where,

m = mass of Helium = (4 A.M.U)(1.66 X 10⁻²⁷ kg/ A.M.U) = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

v = RMS Speed of Helium Atoms = ?

Therefore,

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(343 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 1462.38 m/s</u>

(b)

For double temperature:

T = 2 x 343 K = 686 K

all other data remains same:

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(686 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 2068.13 m/s</u>

If an object is to rest on an incline without slipping, then friction must equal the component of the weight of the object paral
leonid [27]

Answer:

\theta = tan^{-1}\mu

Explanation:

As we know that if the object is placed on the inclined plane then the force of friction on the object is counterbalanced by the component of the weight of the object along the inclined plane.

So we can say

F_f = mgsin\theta

now if we increase the inclination of the plane then the component of the weight weight along the inclined plane will increase and hence the friction force will also increase.

As we know that the limiting value or the maximum value of friction force at the static condition is given by

F_f = \mu N

N = mg cos\theta

so we have

F_f = \mu (mg cos\theta)

so we will have

mg sin\theta = \mu (mg cos\theta)

so now we have

tan\theta = \mu

so maximum possible angle of the inclined plane is

\theta = tan^{-1}\mu
