Answer:

The speed of sound, in m/s, through air at this temperature is 343.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

distance traveled by sound, d = 1,687.5 meters

time taken for the sound to travel, t = 5 seconds

air temperature, θ = 10°C

Speed of sound = distance traveled by sound / time taken for the sound to travel

Speed of sound = d / t

                           = 1687.5 m / 5 s

                           = 337.5 m/s

Speed of sound at the given temperature is calculated as;

c = 337.5 + 0.6θ

c = 337.5 + 0.6 x 10

c = 337.5 + 6

c = 343.5 m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound, in m/s, through air at this temperature is 343.5 m/s

Which statement correctly describes the differences between positive and negative acceleration?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: c) Positive acceleration describes an increase in speed; negative acceleration describes a decrease in speed.

Hey

On Earth, you can move or you can not move. if you are moving 50 mph that means relative to Earth (not the Andromeda galaxy). When you start moving (accelerating) you are now moving relative to Earth. when you start slowing down (decelerating [most scientists just say you have negative acceleration]) you are starting to match your velocity to Earth's velocity.

Hope it helped and made any sence at all.

What happens to the pressure of a gas inside a container if the temperature of the gas decreases?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Pressure Increases

Explanation:

When the temperature of a gas is increased inside a container then the pressure of the gas inside the container increases.

This can be deduced by the Ideal Gas law equation:

P.V=n.R.T

where:

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n = no. of moles of gas

R = universal gas constant

T= temperature of the gas

So,

P\propto T hence the pressure of the gas will increase while the temperature is increased at a constant volume

A sailcraft is stalled on a windless day. A fan is attached to the craft and blows air into the sail which bounces backward upon
mylen [45]

Answer:

Impulse = change in momentum w bounce

There are 2 impulses acting. Recoil of the fan going the negative direction and the impulse of the air bouncing off the sail. The greater impulse will bounce so the direction will be to the right moving the craft.

Two resistors with values of 6.0 ohms and 12 ohms are connected in parallel. This combination is connected in series with a 2.0
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

4A

Explanation:

According to ohm's law;

E = IRt where;

E is the source voltage = 24volts

I is the total current flowing in the circuit = ?

Rt is the total effective resistance in the circuit.

To find Rt, we will resolve the resistors in parallel first.

Since 6ohms and 12ohms resistors are in parallel, their effective resistance will give;

1/R = 1/6+1/12

1/R= 2+1/12

1/R = 3/12

3R = 12

R = 4ohms.

This resistor will now be in series with the 2.0ohms resistor to finally have;

Rt = 4+2

Rt = 6ohms

From the ohms law formula;

I = E/Rt

I = 24/6

I = 4Amperes

The total current in the circuit is 4A

This same currents will flow in the 2ohms resistor since same current flows in a series connected resistors.
