Answer:

Light waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave, while sound waves carry energy perpendicular to it. Sound waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave, while light waves carry energy perpendicular to it.

Please help answer question

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

C = 1.01

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 75 kg

The terminal velocity of the mass, $v_t=60\ m/s$

Area of cross section, $A=0.33\ m^2$

We need to find the drag coefficient. At terminal velocity, the weight is balanced by the drag on the object. So,

R = W

$\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv_t^2=mg$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

So,

$C=\dfrac{2mg}{\rho Av_t^2}\\\\C=\dfrac{2\times 75\times 9.8}{1.225\times 0.33\times (60)^2}\\\\C=1.01$

So, the drag coefficient is 1.01.

A motorcycle of mass 100 kilograms slowly rolls off the edge of a cliff and falls for three seconds before reaching the bottom o

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C) 3,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.

The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):

$v(t)=v_0 -gt$

where

$v_0=0$ is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have

$v(3 s)=0-(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=-29.4 m/s$

And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:

$p=mv=(100 kg)(-29.4 m/s)=-2940 kg m/s \cdot -3000 kg m/s$

and the negative sign simply means downward direction.

If a fish is trying to capture an insect hovering above the surface of the water – how will it jump to catch it? Will it aim abo

Viktor [21]

Answer:

It will have aim at a point "below" the insect.

From the insect's point of view, the fish will appear to be shallower than it actually is because a ray of light from the insect to the fish will be bent "towards" the normal when the ray enters the water

Calculate the root mean square velocity of nitrogen molecules at 25 C.

iragen [17]

root mean square<span>= square root of ( 3RT/M)

R = 8.314 J/K/mole
T = 25 + 273 = 298 K
M = molecular mas of N2 in kg = 28 X 10^-3 kg

put values...

</span><span> root mean square</span> = square root of ( 3 X 8.314 X 298/28 X 10^-3)
= square root of ( 265454.143)
= 515.2 m/s
so option A is right
hope this helps
