Answer

A thin atmosphere does not supply much oxygen, and the heat from the sun would evaporate it, because mercury is close to the sun.

A 4.0-kg object has 72 J of kinetic energy.<br> Determine its speed.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

v = sqrt of 2KE/m

Where:

KE = kinetic energy

m = mass of a body

v = velocity of a body

= sqrt of 2(72)/4

= sqrt of 144/4

= sqrt of 36

= 6m/s

creativ13 [48]

(a). If the temperature of a substance is increased the density of it will also increased. The temperature is directly proportional to the density because the molecular activity of the substance will be affected by the temperature

(b).The mass of the substance doesn't at all. Because the amount of matter inside the substance cannot be affected by the temperature except that its water

A tube 1.20 m long is closed at one end. A stretched wire is placed near the open end. The wire is 0.350 m long and has a mass o

Ksju [112]

Answer:

71.4583 Hz

67.9064 N

Explanation:

L = Length of tube = 1.2 m

l = Length of wire = 0.35 m

m = Mass of wire = 9.5 g

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

The fundamental frequency of the tube (closed at one end) is given by

$f=\frac{v}{4L}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{343}{4\times 1.2}\\\Rightarrow f=71.4583\ Hz$

The fundamental frequency of the wire and tube is equal so he fundamental frequency of the wire is 71.4583 Hz

The linear density of the wire is

$\mu=\frac{m}{l}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{9.5\times 10^{-3}}{0.35}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.02714\ kg/m$

The fundamental frequency of the wire is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow f^2=\frac{1}{4l^2}\frac{T}{\mu}\\\Rightarrow T=f^2\mu 4l^2\\\Rightarrow T=71.4583^2\times 0.02714\times 4\times 0.35^2\\\Rightarrow T=67.9064\ N$

The tension in the wire is 67.9064 N
