Answer:

a=g.

the body is in one of these INGRAVIDITY, so the weight of the body would be ZERO

Explanation:

When the spacecraft revolves around the Earth, it is subjected to Newton's second law

F = m a

where the force is the universal attractive force, the mass of the astronauts, and the centripetal acceleration.

a = F / m

a = (G M m / r²) / m

a = G M / r²

the amount of is the acceleration of gravity at height r.

a = g

Therefore, we see that the acceleration of the body is equal to the acceleration of gravity, which is why the body is in one of these INGRAVIDITY, so the weight of the body would be ZERO

Compare and contrast how sound waves behave when they

Ghella [55]

Answer:

As sound waves move (or more accurately, when they travel by transferring their energy) they interact with physical objects. Soft surfaces will absorb sound while hard surfaces will reflect it. .Hard surfaces reflect sound and soft surfaces absorb sound.

The convex mirror has a reflecting surface that curves outward, resembling a portion of the exterior of a sphere. Light rays parallel to the optical axis are reflected from the surface in a direction that diverges from the focal point, which is behind the mirror

A violin string is 45.0 cm long and has a mass of 0.242 g. When tightened on the neck of the violin, the distance between the pi

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The tension is 75.22 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave on a rope is:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}$ (1)

With T the tension, L the length of the string and M its mass.

Another more general expression for the velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) of the wave:

$v= \lambda f$ (2)

We can equate expression (1) and (2):

$\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}$ = $\lambda f$

Solving for T

$T= \frac{M(\lambda f)^2}{L}$ (3)

For this expression we already know M, f, and L. And indirectly we already know λ too. On a string fixed at its extremes we have standing waves ant the equation of the wavelength in function the number of the harmonic $N_{harmonic}$ is:

$\lambda_{harmonic}=\frac{2l}{N_{harmonic}}$

It's is important to note that in our case L the length of the string is different from l the distance between the pin and fret to produce a Concert A, so for the first harmonic:

$\lambda_{1}=\frac{2(0.425m)}{1}=0.85 m$

We can now find T on (3) using all the values we have:

$T= \frac{2.42\times10^{-3}(0.85* 440)^2}{0.45}$

$T=75.22 N$

A speeding car traveling at 24.8 m/s passes a police car that is at rest. The police car begins its pursuit at the instant the s

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

the acceleration required is 1.37m/s^2

Explanation:

The car is having a constant velocity movement, so if we calculate the time to reach 897m, we can use it to find the acceleration the policeman need to apply to reach the car.

$x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}\\t=\frac{897m}{24.8m/s}\\t=36.17s$

the policeman is traveling with a constant acceleration starting from rest so:

$x=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\a=\frac{2*x}{t^2}\\\\a=1.37 m/s2$

The kinetic energy of an object depends on what?

liraira [26]

It depends on "Potential Energy", the amount energy it could have, the amount depending on certain circumstances, like height or force. This was how traditional and some modern rollercoasters work. As the "conveyer belt" pulls you up, the higher you go, the more potential energy you have. Once you are falling down the hill, you are experiencing "Kinetic Energy". Hope it makes sence.

Sound is a type of mechanical wave and must have a medium through which to travel. Sound will move at different speeds when whic

Alex787 [66]

Hey there!

The answer would be B. The sound moves from air to water.

Sound travels through different mediums. It goes fastest in solids, a little slower in liquids, and slowest in air. Sound is a very fast wave, but remember that mediums can differ that. In a vacuum space, there is no sound at all. (ex. outer space)

Hope this helps !
