The wave speed of sound waves traveling through four different media was measured at a constant temperature. Results are summari

zed in the table. Which statement provides a plausible hypothesis based on these results?
Medium Wave Speed of Sound
Cork 366 m/s
Water 1,433 m/s
Glass 5,640 m/s
Steel 6,100 m/s

A.
Changing the composition of a medium from metals to nonmetals enables sound waves to be transmitted at higher speeds.
B.
Changing the state of a medium from liquid to solid enables sound waves to be transmitted at higher speeds.
C.
Decreasing the brittleness of a medium enables sound waves to be transmitted at higher speeds.
D.
Increasing the density of molecules in a medium enables sound waves to be transmitted at higher speeds.

A schoolbus accelerates to 65 mph and enters the freeway. It travels for 2.3 hours at that speed while on the freeway. What's th
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The distance travelled on the freeway is 149.5 miles.

Explanation:

The school bus travels on the freeway at constant speed. According to the statement, we need to calculate the distance travelled by the vehicle by means of the following formula:

x = v\cdot t (1)

Where:

x - Traveled distance, in miles.

v - Speed, in miles per hour.

t - Time, in hours.

If we know that v = 65\,\frac{mi}{h} and t = 2.3\,h, then the distance travelled by the school bus is:

x = v\cdot t

x =  \left(65\,\frac{mi}{h} \right)\cdot (2.3\,h)

x = 149.5\,mi

The distance travelled on the freeway is 149.5 miles.

A 50 Ohm resistance causes a current of 5 milliamps to flow through a circuit connected to a battery. What is the power in the c
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:0.00125 watts

Explanation:

resistance=50 ohms

Current=5 milliamps

Current=5/1000 milliamps

Current =0.005 amps

power=(current)^2 x (resistance)

Power=(0.005)^2 x 50

Power=0.005 x 0.005 x 50

Power=0.00125 watts

A small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

T\ cos\theta-mg=0

T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}

Sum of forces in x direction,

T\ sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}.............(1)

Also, r=l\ sin\theta

Equation (1) becomes :

mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{l\ sin\theta}

v=\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}...............(2)

Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}

T=\dfrac{2\pi l\ sin\theta}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}

On solving above equation :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}

Hence, this is the required solution.

Please help I'll mark brainliest!!!!
madam [21]

This question is based on the fundamental assumption of  vector direction.

A vector is  a physical quantity which has  magnitude as well direction  for its complete specification.

The magnitude of a physical quantity is simply a  numerical number .Hence it can not be negative.

A negative vector is a vector which comes into existence when it is opposite to our assumed direction with respect to any other vector.  For instance, the vector is taken positive if it is along + X axis and negative if it is along - X axis.

As per the first option it is given that a vector is negative if its magnitude is greater than 1. It is not correct as magnitude play no role in it.

The second option tells that the magnitude of the vector is less than 1. Magnitude can not be negative. So this is also wrong.

Third one tells that a vector is negative if its displacement is along north. It does not give any detail information about the negativity of a vector.

In a general sense we assume that vertically downward motion  is negative and vertically upward is positive. In case of a falling object the motion is  vertically downward. So the velocity of that object is negative .

So last   option is  partially  correct  as  the vector can be negative depending on our choice of co-ordinate system.

An airplane propeller is rotating at 1900 rpm (rev/min).
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We have to convert to angular velocity in rads-1 as follows;

Angular velocity in rad/s = 2π/60 × 1900 rpm = 199 rad/s

Given that

angular velocity =angle turned /time taken

Time taken = angle turned/angular velocity

Converting 35° to radians we have;

35 × π/180 = 0.61 radians

Time taken = 0.61 radians/199 rad/s

Time taken = 0.0031 seconds
