Answer:

A. Particles in air move in circles as the wave moves forward.

B. Particles in air move forward but not backward as the wave moves

forward.

C. Particles in air move up and down as the wave moves forward.

✔ D. Particles in air move forward and backward as the wave moves

forward.

Explanation:

The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your ear drum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

Answer:

Sound waves travel at 342 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your eardrum to vibrate. The bigger vibrations the louder the sound.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity at Pluto is 0.0597 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Length, L = 1 m

10 oscillations in 257 seconds

Time period, T = 257/10 = 25.7 s

Let the acceleration due to gravity is g.

Use the formula of time period of simple pendulum

$T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\\25.7 = 2 \times 31.4\sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}\\\\g = 0.0597 m/s^2$

A flywheel with radius of 0.400 mm starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2rad/s2.

charle [14.2K]

Answer: $0.00024\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Radius of flywheel is $r=0.4\ mm$

Angular acceleration $\alpha=0.6\ rad/s^2$

For no change in radius, tangential acceleration is given as

$\Rightarrow a_t=a\lpha \times r$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow a_t=0.6\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2\\\Rightarrow a_t=2.4\times 10^{-4}\ m/s^2\ \text{or}\ 0.00024\ m/s^2$

Talja [164]

Using conservation of energy and momentum we get m1*v1=(m1+m2)*v2 so rearranging for v2 and plugging the given values in we get:
(200000kg*1.00m/s)/(21000kg)=.952m/s

A 2 kg ball is thrown upward with a velocity of 15 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the ball as it is being thrown?

marusya05 [52]

KE=1/2 m v^2
KE= .5 x 2kg x 15m/s to the 2nd power
KE=225 km/s
