Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

One explanation I can give you is that generally waves travel faster through denser medium because the particles are tightly packed together and so they can transfer energy faster. But to verify the answer, I used Process of Elimination because the other 3 answers are not true. Choice A is entirely true, wave speed depends on the medium it is travelling through, so there is no way choice A is correct. Choice B is wrong because for example if we take light(an EM wave), it travels at a constant speed of 3.0x10^8 m/s in a vacuum and in open space. So, that proves that air or vacuum do not affect the speed of the wave in another medium. Choice C is related to Choice B, we just proved the speed of light is constant everywhere whereas choice C says that in a vacuum the speed is halved. Good luck in your Physics class and I hope for your best!

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

This question is very basic and easy. The answer to this question is:

Answer: If both batteries are connected we would get less amount of charge as compared to connected a single battery.

Reasoning:

If both batteries are connected in a manner of positive terminal to positive terminal and negative terminal to negative terminal then a capacitor is added to charge it from the batteries then, total electromotive force (emf) would decrease.

As a result, the capacitor added would get less amount of charge stored. But capacitor added will get more amount of charge stored when a single battery is connected.

Anyone know how to do this?
MrMuchimi

The voltage from one side of the battery all the way around to the other side of the battery is 12v .

If 4 of those volts show up across the circle-thing, then the rest of the 12v ... 8v ... Must show up across the set of parallel rectangles.

To get that answer, I subtracted the 4 from the 12.

Just like it says in choice-C.

An electron follows a helical path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.340 T. The pitch of the path is 6.00 µm, and the m
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The electron's speed is 34007.35 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.34 T

Magnetic force on the electron, F=1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N

The electron follows a helical path. We have to find the speed of an electron. The formula for magnetic force is given by :

F=B\times q\times v

q = charge on an electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

v = velocity of an electron

v=\dfrac{F}{Bq}

v=\dfrac{1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N}{0.34\ T\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C}

v = 34007.35 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A car with a total mass of 1800 kg (including passengers) is driving down a washboard road with bumps spaced 4.9 m apart. The ri
Drupady [299]

Answer:

k = 9.6 x 10^5 N/m or 9.6 kN/m

Explanation:

First, we need to use the expression to calculate the spring constant which is:

w² = k/m

Solving for k:

k = w²*m

To get the angular velocity:

w = 2πf

The problem is giving the linear velocity of the car which is 5.7 m/s. With this we can calculate the frequency of the car:

f = V/x

f = 5.7 / 4.9 = 1.16 Hz

Now the angular velocity:

w = 2π*1.16

w = 7.29 rad/s

Finally, solving for k:

k = (7.29)² * 1800

k = 95,659.38 N/m

In two significant figures it'll ve 9.6 kN/m
