When the property of the medium changes.

MAXImum [283]4 years ago

Answer:

It depends on the elasticity of the medium

Explanation:

If the travelling wave is a longitudinal wave then the speed of the wave is given by the formula

$v = \sqrt{\frac{E}{\rho}}$

now we know that if the elastic property of medium or the density of medium will change then the wave will change its velocity

for solids we can say that

$E = Y$ (Young's Modulus)

and for liquids and gases it is given as

$E = B$ (Bulk Modulus)

so we can say that velocity of the wave will change due to change in medium because it depends on elasticity of the medium and its density

The initial speed of a body is 7.1 m/s. What is its speed after 2.23 s if it accelerates uniformly at 2.64 m/s 2 ? Answer in uni

Nana76 [90]

13.0m/s

1.2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed of the body = 7.1m/s

time taken = 2.23s

Acceleration = 2.64m/s²

Unknown:

Final speed = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

a = $\frac{V - U}{T}$

a = acceleration

V = final speed

U = initial speed

T = time taken

Input the variables and solve for V;

2.64 = $\frac{V - 7.1}{2.23}$

V - 7.1 = 5.9 expression 1

V = 5.9 + 7.1 = 13.0m/s

Using the same parameters, the speed after a uniform deceleration of -2.64m/s², the negative sign implies deceleration;

from expression 1;

V - 7.1 = -5.9

V = -5.9 + 7.1 = 1.2m/s

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em>v=40 m/s south</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

$p=m.v$

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

$\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}$

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

$\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s$

The velocity is directed to the south

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

$Q_{2}=1200cm^{3}/s$

Explanation:

Given data

Q₁=200cm³/s

We know that:

$F=n\frac{vA}{l}\\$

can be written as:

ΔP=F/A=n×v/L

And

Q=ΔP/R

n₂=6.0n₁

Q=ΔP/R

$Q=\frac{nv}{lR}\\ \frac{Q_{2}}{n_{2}}= \frac{Q_{1}}{n_{1}}\\ Q_{2}=\frac{Q_{1}}{n_{1}}*(n_{2})\\Q_{2}=\frac{200}{n_{1}}*6.0n_{1}\\ Q_{2}=1200cm^{3}/s$

A feather, a marble, and a cannonball are dropped from the same height at

Vika [28.1K]

The correct answer is that they would all hit the ground at the same time. If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. This statement follows from the law of conservation of energy and has been demonstrated experimentally by dropping a feather and a lead ball in an airless tube.
