How do sound waves travel through a medium?

Physics
1 answer:
VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as solids, liquids and gases. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. ... Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air

tom does not reallt want to give away blue marbles and would like to change the probability that he chooses a blue marble to one
Llana [10]
We don't know how many of ANY color are in the bag right now, so there's no way to calculate an answer.

What Tom has to do is make sure that the number of marbles that are NOT blue is NINE TIMES the number of blue ones in the bag.

Which would most likely cause specular reflection? O a pathway with rough rocks a shiny, smooth leaf a small patch of soil a rou
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

a shiny smooth leaf

Explanation:

A shiny smooth leaf will cause specular reflection. Other choices will cause diffused reflection from the surface.

A specular reflection is similar to how a mirror or smooth surface reflects. The incident light is given off as a single ordered reflection from the surface of a body.

For this to occur, the surface incident must be smooth and without rough patterns on it.

A path way with rough rocks, small patch of soil and rough logs will give off diffused reflection

horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 14 meters apart. When a mass of 3 kilograms is tied to the middle of the clothes
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The tension is  T =  103.96N

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the question is shown on the first uploaded image From the question we are told that

           The distance between the two poles is D =14 m

          The mass tied between the two cloth line is  m = 3Kg

         The distance it sags is d_s = 1m

The objective of this solution is to obtain the magnitude of the tension on the ends of the  clothesline

Now the sum of the forces on the y-axis is zero assuming  that the whole system is at equilibrium

       And this can be mathematically represented as

                             \sum F_y = 0

 To obtain \theta we apply SOHCAHTOH Rule

 So    Tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}

          \theta = tan^{-1} [\frac{opp}{adj} ]

            = tan^{-1} [\frac{1}{7}]

          =8.130^o

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2T sin\theta -mg =0

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T =\frac{mg}{2 sin\theta}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ T = \frac{3 * 9.8 }{2 sin \theta }

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T =\frac{29.4}{2sin(8.130)}

=>  \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \  T = 103.96N

When you drop a 0.43 kg apple, Earth exerts
Archy [21]

Answer:

The acceleration of the earth is 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

mass of the apple = 0.43 kg

acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.98 * 10 ^24 kg

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the acceleration of the earth

Following the third law of Newton F = m*a

F(apple) = F(earth) = m(apple)*a(apple)

F(apple) = 0.43 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 4.214 N

a(earth) = F(apple/earth)/m(earth)

a(earth) = 4.214N /5.98 * 10 ^24 kg

a(earth) = 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²

The acceleration of the earth is 7.05 * 10^-25 m/s²

Label these as balanced or unbalanced:
kvasek [131]

Answer:

  1. A book lying on a table  - Balanced force
  2. An airplane cruising in level flight  - Balanced
  3. A rock falling from a cliff  - Unbalanced force
  4. A bridge collapsing in an earthquake  -  Unbalanced force
  5. A man sitting on a park bench  - Balanced force
  6. A space shuttle taking off  - Unbalanced force
  7. A car maintaining a constant speed on a straight road  - Balanced force
  8. An airplane landing - Unbalanced force

Explanation:

Usually, one or more forces act on a body at an instant of time. When these forces acting on a body and bring the body in the equilibrium position, the force is said to be balanced. The unbalanced force changes the equilibrium state of the body.

As in the case of an airplane cruising in a level flight, the weight of the plane will be equal to the lift force and the thrust is equal to the drag. So the plane is experiencing a balanced force.
