Answer:

Sound waves are produced when something vibrates.

Explanation:

The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.) Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.

Sorry if this if wrong

At an instant when the displacement is equal to a/2, what fraction of the total energy of the system is potential?

madreJ [45]

At an instant when the displacement is equal to a/2, Potential energy U = 1/2ka(square) where a is displacement. when a= a/2 U = 1/4ka(square) U = E/4 Potential Energy = 1/4 Total energy

A basketball is filled with air and has a small hole. Explain why the basketball would leak.

Assoli18 [71]

Because it has a small hole and air is like water, an area of higher pressure wants to move to a lower pressure area.

Jane has a mass of 55 kg and his body covers 700 nails with a surface area of 1.00 mm,

Oksana_A [137]

We have,

Jane mass is 55 kg
His body covered with 700 nails all of them having a surface area of 1.00 mm² each = 700 × 1 = 700 mm² = 700/1000000 = 7/10000

We know that,

Pressure = Force/Area

Let's calculate force as we already have area;

F = ma
F = 55 × 9.8 { Acceleration due to gravity }
F = 539 N

Now, if should she would be on 700 nails then pressure will be;

P = F/A
P = 539/7 × 10000
P = 5390000/7
P = 770,000 Pascal

And if should would be on a 1 nail only,

P = F/A
P = 539/1 × 1000000
P = 539000000 Pascal

As, you can notice yourself that the pressure will be so high with only 1 nail and because of this, nail will pass through jane's body.
