Hot air doesn’t rise, its displaced by colder air because it is less dense. Also, space doesn’t exactly have a temperature. The gases are cold, especially the farther you are away from stars, planets and other objects.

Hot air has a lower density than the surrounding atmosphere, therefore,it will rise.. The reason it is "cold" in the upper atmosphere is actually because of a lower air density.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

  • The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
  • Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
  • In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
  • So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.

A source at rest emits light of wavelength 500 nm. When it is moving at 0.90c toward an observer, the observer detects light of
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

(b) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of source = 500 nm

Velocity = 0.90 c

We need to calculate the wavelength of observer

Using Doppler effect

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\lambda_{s}

Where, \beta=\dfrac{c}{v}

\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c-0.90c}{c+0.90c}}\times500\times10^{-9}

\lambda_{o}=115\ nm

Hence, The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

Three balls are kicked from the ground level at some angles above horizontal with different initial speeds. All three balls reac
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Time of flight  A is greatest

Explanation:

Let u₁ , u₂, u₃ be their initial velocity and θ₁ , θ₂ and θ₃ be their angle of projection. They all achieve a common highest height of H.

So

H = u₁² sin²θ₁ /2g

H = u₂² sin²θ₂ /2g

H = u₃² sin²θ₃ /2g

On the basis of these equation we can write

u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂=u₃ sinθ₃

For maximum range we can write

D = u₁² sin2θ₁ /g

1.5 D = u₂² sin2θ₂ / g

2 D =u₃² sin2θ₃ / g

1.5 D / D = u₂² sin2θ₂ /u₁² sin2θ₁

1.5 = u₂ cosθ₂ /u₁ cosθ₁      ( since , u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂ )

u₂ cosθ₂ >u₁ cosθ₁

u₂ sinθ₂ < u₁ sinθ₁

2u₂ sinθ₂ / g < 2u₁ sinθ₁ /g

Time of flight B < Time of flight  A

Similarly we can prove

Time of flight C < Time of flight B

Hence Time of flight  A is greatest .

A disk-shaped platform has a known rotational inertia ID. The platform is mounted on a fixed axle and rotates in a horizontal pl
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular momentum of that same disk-sphere remains unchanged the very same way before and after the impact of the collision when the clay sphere adheres to the disk.

 \mathbf{I_w} = constant.

The overall value of such moment of inertia is now altered when the clay spherical sticks. Due to the inclusion of the clay sphere, the moment of inertia will essentially rise. As a result of this increase, the angular speed w decreases in value.

Recall that:

The Kinetic energy is given by:

\mathbf{K = \dfrac{1}{2} Iw^2} \\ \\\mathbf{K = \dfrac{1}{2} lw*w}

where;

\mathbf{I_w} is constant and w reduces;

As a result, just after the collision, the system's total kinetic energy decreases.
