Answer:

Because the soundwave bounces back when it hits the wall. Only a fraction of the soundwave gets transferred through the wall.

Snakes and lizards are rarely found near polar environment explain why

Novosadov [1.4K]

Reptiles, such as snakes and lizards, are cold-blooded animals. This means that they do not have the ability to control their body heat. For this reason, they often lay out in the sun to warm up. If their enviornent is cold they obtain that body temperature. They are very slow in colder environments.In cold weather these animals have a very difficult time moving because their muscles are very cold. Without heat in their environment, they cannot warm them up.

two students are on a balcony 19.6 m above the street. one student throws a ball vertically downward at 14.7 m:ds. at the same i

NARA [144]

A. The difference in the two ball's time in the air is 3 seconds

B. The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

C. The balls 0.500 s after they are thrown are 14.7 m apart

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

Initial Height = H = 19.6 m

Initial Velocity = u = 14.7 m/s

<u>Unknown:</u>

A. Δt = ?

B. v = ?

C. Δh = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h2>Question A:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - 4.9t^2$

$4.9t^2 + 14.7t - 19.6 = 0$

$t^2 + 3t - 4 = 0$

$(t + 4)(t - 1) = 0$

$(t - 1) = 0$

$\boxed {t = 1 ~ second}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - 4.9t^2$

$4.9t^2 - 14.7t - 19.6 = 0$

$t^2 - 3t - 4 = 0$

$(t - 4)(t + 1) = 0$

$(t - 4) = 0$

$\boxed {t = 4 ~ seconds}$

The difference in the two ball's time in the air is:

$\Delta t = 4 ~ seconds - 1 ~ second$

$\large {\boxed {\Delta t = 3 ~ seconds} }$

<h2>Question B:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gH$

$v^2 = (-14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)$

$v^2 = 600.25$

$v = \sqrt {600.25}$

$\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gH$

$v^2 = (14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)$

$v^2 = 600.25$

$v = \sqrt {600.25}$

$\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}$

The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

<h2>Question C:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 19.6 - 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2$

$\boxed {h = 11.025 ~ m}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 19.6 + 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2$

$\boxed {h = 25.725 ~ m}$

The difference in the two ball's height after 0.500 s is:

$\Delta h = 25.725 ~ m - 11.025 ~ m$

$\large {\boxed {\Delta h = 14.7 ~ m} }$

A cart of mass 6.0 kg moves with a speed of 3.0 m/s towards a second stationary cart with a mass of 3.0 kg. The carts move on a

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

mass of first cart $m_1=6 kg$

mass of second cart $m_2=3 kg$

velocity of first cart $v_1=3 m/s$

conserving momentum

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

$6\times 3+3\times 0=(9)\cdot v$

$v=2 m/s$

Initial kinetic Energy $K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

$K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 6\cdot 3^2+0$

$K.E._1=27 J$

Final Kinetic Energy

$K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2$

$K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(6+3)\cdot 2^2=18 J$

Ratio of initial Kinetic Energy to the Final Kinetic Energy

$=\frac{27}{18}=1.5$
