<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A:The wave travels faster and with the same wavelength.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Sound waves are mechanical waves which require a material medium for transmission. </u></em>
The transmission of sound waves involves the vibration of particles of the material medium thus movement of energy from one point to another.
<em><u>Sound waves entering a warmer air means that the kinetic energy of the air particles will increase and thus the vibration of particles will be increased and thus the speed of transmission of sound waves increases. </u></em>

The answer is A........The sound is transferred by collisions of molecules. Therefore sound waves will travel faster on warm air because collisions of molecules of air in warm air are greater.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s

b.) V = 4.4 m/s

Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.

So,

Radius r = 0.6 m

Mass M = 2 kg

Velocity V = 1.1 m/s

Angular momentum L can be expressed as;

L = MVr

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1

the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,

New radius = 0.15 m

Using the same formula again

L = 2( MVr)

2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )

1.32 = 0.3 V

V = 1.32/0.3

V = 4.4 m/s

Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s

A succession of single tones or pitches perceived as a unit is called:

jeka57 [31]

A succession of single tones or pitches perceived as a unit is called a melody. It is a linear succesion of tones in music that is seen as one single entity. It is a combination of rhythm, pitch and tonal color. Melodies usually has one ormore motifs or phrases that are being repeated all throughout a composition. Melodies are characterized by the melodic motion it posses , the pitch, intervals between the pitches, continuity and pitch range. Due to the a wide range of melodies that can be made from tones, differet genres of music arise. Examples are Jazz, Rock music, Classical, pop, R&B and the like.

A ski resort consists of a few chairlifts and several interconnected downhill runs on the side of a mountain, with a lodge at th

Aleks04 [339]

A sketch of the junction between one chairlift and two runs is shown in the image attached below.
For this ski resort, it ultimately implies that the total number of lifts that are used in any closed loop would be equal to zero in accordance with Kirchhoff's loop rule.

<h3>What is Kirchhoff's loop rule?</h3>

Kirchhoff's loop rule is also referred to as Kirchhoff's second law or Kirchhoff's voltage law, and it states that the algebraic sum of all the electric potential differences around any closed loop is equal to zero.

<h3>How to connect two runs in series?</h3>

Since the chairlifts are analogous to batteries, and the runs are analogous to resistors, the two runs would represent resistors that are connected in series with the lift, which represents the battery. Similarly, these three runs can also be connected in parallel by altering the positions of the runs with the battery.

For this ski resort, it ultimately implies that the total number of lifts that are used in any closed loop would be equal to zero in accordance with Kirchhoff's loop rule.

The elevator accelerates upward (in the positive direction) from rest at a rate of 1.95 m/s2 for 2.15 s. Calculate the tension i

sammy [17]

The mass is missing. The mass of the elevator is 1650 kg.

Answer:

The tension in the cable is 19387.5 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the elevator (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration in the upward direction (a) = 1.95 m/s²

Time taken by the elevator (t) = 2.15 s

Mass of the elevator and persons (m) = 1650 kg

Let the tension in the cable wire be 'T' Newtons.

Now, there are 2 forces acting in the vertical direction. One is tension in the upward direction and the other the weight of the elevator in the downward direction.

As the elevator is accelerating upward, the net force acts in the upward direction.

So, net force on the elevator is given as:

$F_{net}=T-mg$

Now, from Newton's second law, net force equals mass times acceleration.

$F_{net}=ma\\\\T-mg=ma\\\\T=m(g+a)$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'T'. This gives,

$T=1650\ kg(9.8+1.95)\ m/s^2\\\\T=1650\times11.75\ N\\\\T=19387.5\ N$

Therefore, the tension in the cable is 19387.5 N.

Which action best demonstrates the transformation of mechanical energy to heat energy and light energy?

Vinvika [58]

Well, first off, mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. In other words, it is energy in an object due to its motion or position, or both. Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Light energy is the only form of energy that we can actually see directly. It is formed through chemical, radiation, and mechanical means. Striking a match stick (mechanical energy) creates fire, which has a ton of heat energy, and produces light too, so the answer, is A. I hope i could help!
