When a wave strikes a new medium, three things can happen: reflection, transmission, and absorption. Consider an echo. Do you th

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

An echo may be defined as a sound which is repeated because of the sound waves that are produced are reflected back after striking a surface. Sound waves can smoothly bounce off the hard objects in the same manner as a rubber ball bounces back the ground.

When a sound wave strikes a hard surface, the sound waves gets reflected back and bounces back to the observer and produces an echo. If the sound waves strikes a soft surface it absorbs the sound.

Although the direction of a sound changes but the echo sounds in the same way as the original sound.

The Moon orbits Earth in an average of p = 27.3 days at an average distance of a =384,000 kilometers. Using Newton’s version of
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mass of the earth, M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m

Distance between moon and the earth,r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}

M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}

M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg

So, the mass of the earth is 6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The
Arada [10]

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

<h3>What will be the maximum acceleration of the truck to avoid tipping over?</h3>

The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking clockwise moments about the tipping point of rotation.

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Ft * 1.58 m = F * 0.67 m

where

  • Ft is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
  • F is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.67

a = 4.15 m/s²

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

In conclusion, the acceleration of the truck is found by taking moments about the tipping point.

What does it mean that are bodies are in osmotic equilibrium but chemical and electrical disequilibrium? Why? What molecules are
Whitepunk [10]

Explanation:

The point is that water is moving smoothly but that the solutes are not.Even though the containers are chemically different (chemical disequilibrium), once all the solutes in one container are contrasted to all the solutes in another container, both have the same total solutes concentrations (this means that they are in osmotic balance).

A 5.0-μC charge is placed at the 0 cm mark of a meter stick and a -4.0 μC charge is placed at the 50 cm mark. At what point on a
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The distance from charge 5 μ C = 26.45 cm and the distance from - 4 μ C is 23.55 cm.

Explanation:

Given that

q₁ = 5 μ C

q₂ = - 4 μ C

The distance between charges = 50 cm

d= 50 cm

Lets take at distance x from the charge μ C ,the electrical field is zero.

That is why the distance from the charge - 4 μ C =  50 - x cm

We know that ,electric field is given as

E=K\dfrac{q}{r^2}

K\dfrac{5\ \mu}{x^2}=K\dfrac{4\mu }{(50-x)^2}\\\\\dfrac{5}{x^2}=\dfrac{4 }{(50-x)^2}\\\\\\5(50-x)^2=4x^2\\(50-x)^2=0.8x^2\\\\50-x =0.89x\\\ x=\dfrac{50}{1.89}\ cm\\\\\\x=26.45\ cm\\

Therefore the distance from charge 5 μ C = 26.45 cm and the distance from - 4 μ C is 23.55 cm.
