There is an explosion on the surface of a lake and two people John and Nil hear its sound.John is 150m away on a boat and Nil is

150m below the surface of water.Who would hear the sound first and why?​

Answer:

Nil

Explanation:

Sound is a wave whose speed depends on the medium it is traveling in. Sound wave travel faster in water as compared to air. In water the speed of sound wave is around 1480 m/sec whereas in air it is around 343 m/sec.

Since Nil is underwater he will hear the sound of the explosion first. But, the quality of sound will be better for John. This is because humans have evolved to listen in the air and not water. So the sound will not be clear to Nil underwater.

3. If a car is moving at 90km/hr and it rounds a corner, also at 90km/hr. Does it maintain
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Constant speed: yes

Constant velocity: no

Explanation:

Let's remind the definition of speed and velocity:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (regardless of the direction) and the time taken:

s=\frac{d}{t}

- Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude is equal to the rate between the displacement of the object and the time taken, while the direction is the same as the displacement.

In this problem, we notice that:

- The speed of the car remains constant, as it is 90 km/h

- However, its direction of motion changes while the car travels round the corner: this means that the direction of the velocity is also changing, therefore velocity is not constant.

If the value of static friction for a couch is 400N, what could be a possible value of its kinetic friction? *
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

Explanation:

As we know that maximum value of static friction on the rough surface is known as limiting friction and the formula of this limiting friction is known as

F_s = \mu_s N

now when object is sliding on the rough surface then the friction force on that surface is known as kinetic friction and the formula of kinetic friction is known as

F_k = \mu_k N

now we know that

\mu_k < \mu_s

so here value of limiting static friction force is always more than kinetic friction

also we know that

initially when body is at rest then static friction value will lie from 0 N to maximum limiting friction

and hence kinetic friction may be greater than static friction or if the static friction is maximum limiting friction then kinetic friction is smaller than static friction

so kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

I need it now aaaasssssaaaappp!!!!
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

A) Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave. The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency and the lower the pitch, the lower the frequency. Sound waves have different pitches due to varying frequency levels.

B) Sound is created as the pen vibrates. This vibrations also interacts with the air atoms and molecules, causing them to vibrate too, therefore, creating sound waves. The reason the brain grows annoyed at this continual sound is because the brain will focus on this sound only, causing the brain to go into overdrive, creating annoyance.

C) Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles. Space does not have any atoms or particles for the sound vibrations to interact with, therefore creating zero sound waves to travel.

Hope this helps!! :))
