Explanation:

Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. Here are some differences: Sound can only travel through a medium (substance) while light can travel through empty space

Emily holds a banana of mass m over the edge of a bridge of height h. She drops the banana and it falls to the river below. Use

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The mass of the banana is m and it is at height h.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy

Total Energy before fall = Total Energy after fall

$E_{i}$ = $E_{f}$

Here, total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy

$K.E_{i}$ + $P.E_{i}$ = $K.E_{f}$ + $P.E_{f}$ (a)

When banana is at height h, it has

$K.E_{i}$ = 0 and $P.E_{i}$ = mgh

and when it reaches the river, it has

$K.E_{f}$ = 1/2m $v^{2}$ and $P.E_{f}$ = 0

Putting the values in equation (a)

0 + mgh = 1/2m $v^{2}$ + 0

mgh = 1/2m $v^{2}$

<em>cutting 'm' from both sides</em>

<em> </em>gh = 1/2 $v^{2}$

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$

Hence, the velocity of banana before hitting the water is

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$

A railroad freight car, mass 15,000 kg, is allowed to coast along a level track at a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides and couples w

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car 1, m₁ = 15,000 kg

Mass of car 2, m₂ = 50,000 kg

Speed of car 1, u₁ = 2 m/s

Initial speed of car 2, u₂ = 0

Let V is the speed of the two cars after coupling. It is the case of inelastic collision. Applying the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V$

$V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

$V=\dfrac{15000\ kg\times 2\ m/s+0}{(15000\ kg+50000\ kg)}$

V = 0.46 m/s

So, the speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which fact was most likely discovered between the time of Mendeleev’s table and the time of Moseley’s table that helped Moseley

igomit [66]

Answer:

The number of protons in an atom is different than the atom's total mass.

Explanation:

Mendeleev had presented the first structured periodic table in 1869. But, in 1913, Henry Moseley developed the modern periodic table. The crucial difference between the two periodic tables is that Mendeleev's periodic table is generated on the basis of the atomic masses of chemical elements while the chemical element's atomic numbers were the main focus of Moseley's periodic table. There were just 56 chemical elements in Mendeleev's periodic table. On the other hand, 74 chemical elements are presented in Moseley's periodic table.
