Answer:

The speed will increase.

Explanation:

Wave velocity in a rope can be discribed as :

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho} }$ ,

where $v$ is the velocity, $T$ is the tension and, $\rho$ is the linear density of mass (this is mass over rope length).

As it can be seen from the formula, velocity is directly proportional to the tension, this means that if tension increase so it will the velocity.

Which is likely to be more common in our Galaxy: white dwarfs or black holes? Why?

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

White dwarfs are likely to be much more common. The number of stars decreases with increasing mass, and only the most massive stars are likely to complete their lives as black holes. There are many more stars of the masses appropriate for evolution to a white dwarf.

How are lasers used to determine the distance from earth to the moon?

mezya [45]

A beam of laser is directed at a reflecting surface put on the moon when the beam of laser is reflected a receiver on the each measure the time since the beam was sent till it was received. Laser is simply light so it has constant velocity in vacuum ~ air (c = 3 x 10^8 m/s)

to find the distance:

t : time measured between launching the beam and receiving it

d : distance

d = ct

What is matter explain verifly

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Matter is a substance that has inertia and occupies physical space. According to modern physics, matter consists of various types of particles, each with mass and size.Matter can exist in several states, also called phases. The three most common states are known as solid, liquid and gas.Matter is the Stuff Around You or Atoms and compounds are all made of very small parts of matter. Those atoms go on to build the things you see and touch every day. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (it has volume).Solid ice, water and steam are few examples of matter touched in everyday life. Subatomic particles are also considered as matter.
