A certain temperature can be thick so the speed may take longer to get to it's destination.

The speed of sound is dependent on how close together the molecules of the transmitting medium is.

We can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1/P1 = T2/P2

P2 = T2 x P1 / T1

P2 = 273 x 340 / 713

P2 = 130 kPa

A sailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5m/s2 for 4s. After t

Pavlova-9 [17]

Taking right movement to be positive means leftward movement is negative.
Hence we have a deceleration of
$a = - 2.5 {ms}^{ - 2}$

$t = 4s$
$v = 3.0 {ms}^{ - 1}$
Using this 'suvat' equation
$v = u + at$
we can determine the initial velocity

$3.0= u + -2.5(4)$

$3.0+2.5(4)=u$

$13.0 = u$

Hence the initial velocity is 13.0 meters per seconds

Energy is observed in two basic forms: potential and kinetic. Which of the following correctly matches these forms with a source

Travka [436]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Kinetic energy is the energy which is due to the motion of body.

Potential energy is the energy due to virtue of position of the object.

option A is not true because potential energy is due the position of the body

Option B should be the potential energy not kinetic energy.;

Option D is motion of individual molecule leads to kinetic energy not potential energy.

So, the correct answer is option is the covalent bonds of a sugar molecule is potential energy because of the position of bond.

A 20kg mass approaches a spring at a speed of 30 m/s. The mass compresses the spring 12cm before coming to a stop. Calculate the

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

625000 N/ m

Explanation:

m= 20 kg

v= 30 m/s

x= 12 cm

k = ?

Here when the mass when hits at spring its speed is

Vi= 30 m/s

Finally it comes to rest after compressing for 12 cm

i-e Vf = 0 m/s

Distance= S= 12 cm = 0.12 m

using

2aS= Vf2 - Vi2

==> 2a ×0.12 = o- 30 × 30

==> a = 900 ÷ 0.24 = 3750 m/sec2

Now we know;

F = ma

F= -Kx

==> ma= -kx

==> 20 × 3750 = -K × 0.12

==> k = 625000 N/ m
