Answer:

Although the speed changes and wavelength changes, the frequency of the light will be constant. The frequency, wavelength, and speed are related by: The change in speed that occurs when light passes from one medium to another is responsible for the bending of light, or refraction, that takes place at an interface.

Based on the calculations, the average velocity is equal to 360 m/s and the percent difference is equal to 4.72%.

<h3>What is average velocity?</h3>

An average velocity can be defined as the total distance covered by a physical object divided by the total time taken.

<h3>What is an average?</h3>

An average is also referred to as mean and it can be defined as a ratio of the sum of the total number in a data set to the frequency of the data set.

<h3>How to calculate the average velocity?</h3>

Mathematically, the average velocity for this data set would be calculated by using this formula:

Average = [F(v)]/n

Vavg = [v₁ + v₂ + v₃ + v₄ + v₅)/5

Since the values of the average velocity from the table are missing, we would assume the following values for the purpose of an explanation:

v₁ = 100 m/s

v₂ = 150 m/s

v₃ = 200 m/s

v₄ = 250 m/s

v₅ = 300 m/s

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have:

Vavg = [300 + 450 + 500 + 250 + 300)/5

Vavg = 1800/5

Vavg = 360 m/s.

Next, we would calculate the percent difference by using this formula:

$Percent \;difference = \frac{[V_{avg}\;-\;V_{sound}]}{V_{sound}} \times 100$

Percent difference = [360 - 343]/360 × 100

Percent difference = 17/360 × 100

Percent difference = 0.0472 × 100

Percent difference = 4.72%.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Low pressure systems typically arrive with storms and clouds. Air motion is usually upwards, as heated are is less dense and more buoyant than cooler air. A high pressure system is typically cooler than its counter-part, and skies are usually clear. Low pressure systems carry more water vapor due to rising hot air cooling and condensing.

Answer:

Velocity = 4.33[m/s]

Explanation:

The total energy or mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy, as it is known the velocity and the height, we can determine the total energy.

$E_{M}=E_{p} + E_{k} \\E_{p} = potential energy [J]\\E_{k} = kinetic energy [J]\\where:\\E_{p} =m*g*h\\E_{p} = 4*9.81*0.5=19.62[J]\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *4*(3)^{2} \\E_{k}=18[J]\\Therefore\\E_{M} =18+19.62\\E_{M}=37.62[J]$

All this energy will become kinetic energy and we can find the velocity.

$37.62=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\v=\sqrt{\frac{37.62*2}{4} } \\v=4.33[m/s]$
