Answer:

In the air

Explanation:

There are three states of matter:

- Solids: in solids, the particles are tightly bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so they cannot move freely - they can only vibrate around their fixed position

- Liquids: in liquids, particles are more free to move, however there are still some intermolecular forces keeping them close to each other

- Gases: in gases, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible

For this reason, it is generally easier to compress/expand the volume of a gas with respect to the volume of a liquid.

In this problem, we are comparing water (which is a liquid) with air (which is a gas). From what we said above, this means that the change in volume is larger in the air rather than in the water.

A jet with mass m = 90000.0 kg jet accelerates down the runway for takeoff at 1.6 m/s2.
leva [86]
This question requires the use of the equation of motion:
v = u + at [v is final velocity (0), u is initial velocity (24), a is acceleration, t is time (13)]
to calculate the acceleration. This can then be multiplied by the mass of the plane to obtain the net force via:
F = ma (F is force, m is mass, a is acceleration)
First, we calculate the acceleration:
0 = 24 + 13(a)
a = -24/13 m/s^2
The force is then:
F = 90000 * (-24/13)
F = -1.66*10^5 Newtons
The negative sign indicates that the force and acceleration are in the opposite direction as the velocity (since we took velocity to be positive)

What is the wavelength of a wave if its frequency is 256 Hz and speed of the wave is 350 m/s?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for this is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} where f is the frequency, v is the velocity, and lambda is the wavelength. Filling in:

256=\frac{350}{\lambda} and

\lambda=\frac{350}{256} which means that

the wavelength is 1.37 m, rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

Austin buys a new moped he travel 3 km south and then 4 km east and then 3km north how far does he need to go to get back to whe
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The first thing to do is to define the origin of the coordinate system as the point at which the moped journey begins.
 Then, you must write the position vector:
 r = -3j + 4i + 3j
 Rewriting
 r = 4i
 To go back to where you started, you must go
 d = -4i
 That is to say, must travel a distance of 4Km to the west.
 Answer
 West, 4km.
