F= ma
31-mg = m(-2.5m/s2)
31= mg-2.5 m
31 = m*(9.8m/s2 -2.5 m/s2)
31 = 7.3 m
m = 31/7.3
m = 4.25 kg

The graph below is called a heating curve. It shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature a
Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation :

The heating curve shows how water changes from one state of matter to another based on temperature and the addition or removal of heat over time.

Initially, ice is heated until its temperature reaches 0^0\ C and changes to liquid state.

From the attached graph it is clear that until 100^0\ C the temperature will rise steadily. Here, the liquid begins to vaporize. Vaporization is the state of matter at which liquid state changes to the gaseous state.

So, E is the point which shows the gaseous state.

A bowling ball with a mass of 9kg is thrown down a lane with a constant speed of 3 m/s. The ball hits the 1.5kg pin, initially a
olasank [31]

Answer:

M1 V1 = M1 V2 + M2 V3    conservation of momentum

V2 = (M1 V1 - M2 V3) / M1      where V2 = speed of M1 after impact

V2 = (3 * 9 - 1.5 * 5) / 9  =   (27 - 7.5) / 9 = 2.17 m/s

Note: All speeds are in the same direction and have the same sign

Comparing sound waves with different frequencies and wavelengths traveling through air,
aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

The speed of sound wave only depends on the property of the medium like density and the bulk modulus of the medium particle. The speed of sound also depends on the temperature of the medium.

On comparing sound waves with different frequencies and wavelengths traveling through air, the speed of the wave doesn’t depend on the frequency or the wavelength. Hence, the correct option is (1).

Why can't you hear a sound in space ?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

As the vibrations of the particles reach your ear, your ear drum receives the vibrations which the brain then interprets as sound. In the vacuum of space, there are no (or very, very few) particles to vibrate, so sound cannot travel through this medium.
