Answer:

Sound travels fastest through solids.

Explanation:

This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air.

Answer:

Solids.

Explanation:

They move the slowest is gases and kind of in the middle for liquids.

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$

What changes would result in a decrease in the gravitational force between two objects? Check all that apply.

REY [17]

I'm sorry, it says check all that apply, however there are no choices given. You should edit, and add the multiple choice answers.

My Answer:

Well if the masses of two objects were both decreased, it would result in a decrease in the gravitational force. So I guess the two objects masses would need to be decreased.

An elevator motor provides 45.0 kW of power while lifting an elevator 35.0 m. If the elevator contains seven passengers each wit

mylen [45]

Find how much work ∆W is done by the motor in lifting the elevator:

P = ∆W / ∆t

where

• P = 45.0 kW = power provided by the motor

• ∆W = work done

• ∆t = 20.0 s = duration of time

Solve for ∆W :

∆W = P ∆t = (45.0 kW) (20.0 s) = 900 kJ

In other words, it requires 900 kJ of energy to lift the elevator and its passengers. The combined mass of the system is M = (m + 490.0) kg, where m is the mass of the elevator alone. Then

∆W = M g h

where

• g = 9.80 m/s² = acceleration due to gravity

• h = 35.0 m = distance covered by the elevator

Solve for M, then for m :

M = ∆W / (g h) = (900 kJ) / ((9.80 m/s²) (35.0 m)) ≈ 2623.91 kg

m = M - 490.0 kg ≈ 2133.91 kg ≈ 2130 kg

Explain why free fall acceleration near earths surface is constant

Naya [18.7K]

Because gravity is constant
the only force acting in free-fall is gravity which points downward at 9.8 m/s
