How do Air molecules enable sound to travel from a radios speaker to your ears?

MatroZZZ [7]

The radio frequencies push one air molecule that then bumps into a different air molecule.....which then hits another and another causing a line of crashing molecules that lead inside your ear and hits your ear drum causing it to vibrate which causes the sounds.

What is the mass of a large ship that has a momentum of 1.60x10^9 kg*m/s and is moving at a velocity of 10m/s?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

160000000 kg.

Explanation:

p=mv

p=1.6x10^9

v=10m/s

rearrange and substitute:

(1.6x10^9)=m(10)

m=(1.6x10^9)/10

m= 1.6x10^8 kg.

A planet exerts a gravitational force of magnitude 9e22 N on a star. If the planet were 2 times closer to the star (that is, if

Dmitrij [34]

To solve this problem we will use the related concepts in Newtonian laws that describe the force of gravitational attraction. We will use the given value and then we will obtain the proportion of the new force depending on the Radius. From there we will observe how much the force of attraction increases in the new distance.

$F_p = 6*10^{22}N$
