C. Sound insulators prevent sound from being transmitted better than elastic solids
Not sure this is a physics question (probably biology).
Anyway, the correct answer is A):
"Plasticity helps us to adapt to our environment. It also generally decreases with age".
Plasticity is the ability to adapt to the environment. Since this ability is linked with brain functions, and brain functions worsen with age, then plasticity decreases with age.
Answer:
232 J/K
Explanation:
The amount of heat gained by the air = the amount of heat lost by the tea.
q_air = -q_tea
q = -mCΔT
q = -(0.250 kg) (4184 J/kg/ºC) (20.0ºC − 85.0ºC)
q = 68,000 J
The change in entropy is:
dS = dQ/T
Since the room temperature is constant (isothermal):
ΔS = ΔQ/T
Plug in values (remember to use absolute temperature):
ΔS = (68,000 J) / (293 K)
ΔS = 232 J/K
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.
-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.
-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s
-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s
= <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________
The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:
Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²
= (1/2) · (8 m/s²) · (30 sec)²
= (4 m/s²) · (900 sec²)
= 3600 meters.

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.
When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.
How does he do that ?
By accelerating at 8 m/s². That's about 0.82 G !
He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !
He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
Answer:
Explanation:
A plane flies due north (90° from east) with a velocity of 100 km/h for 2 hours.
With no wind, it will be 100*2 = 200 km north of its starting point.
But a steady wind blows southeast at 30 km/h at an angle of 315° from due east.
So the wind itself will blow the plane 30*2 = 60km at an angle of 315° from due east.
That is the same as 60*cos315° = 42.43km due east and 60*sin315° = -42.43km north.
Combining, the plane is at 42.43km due east and 200-42.43 = 157.57km due north from its starting point.
