1. What is the weight of this objects?

Weight is simply the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. Therefore the weight is:

w = 20 kg * 9.81 m/s^2

w = 196.2 kg m/s^2 = 196.2 N

 

2. After 5 seconds, how has the object fallen and what is its speed at this instant?

We can use the formula:

<span>y = v0 t  + 0.5 g t^2</span>

v = v0 + g t

where v0 = 0 since the object starts from rest, y is the distance it fell, t is time

y = 0 + 0.5 * 9.81 * 5^2 = 122.625 m

<span>v = 0 + 9.81 * 5 = 49.05 m/s</span>

What happens when the density of a medium increases
Anvisha [2.4K]
We all know that the sound travels faster through solids and then liquids and then through gases.
As far as i know solids are the medium through which the sound travels fast.

But in some websites I saw that as the density increases , the velocity of the sound decreases.If this statement is correct , how come the sound travels fastest through solids (since they have higher density) 

From this it is clear that not only sound as compression wave But also in the form of Shear wave travels in Solids

This makes it easier for sound to travel with higher speed in solids

A field measuring 12 meters by 16 meters is to have a brick paver walkway installed all around it, increasing the total area to
kolezko [41]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

Length. L = 12 m

Width, W = 16 m

Area, A = 12 x 16 = 192 m^2

Let the width of pavement be d.

The new length, L' = 12 + 2d

the new width, W' = 16 + 2d  

New Area, A' = L' x W' = (12 + 2d)(16 + 2d) = 192 + 56 d + 4d^2

Difference in area = A' - A

285 =  192 + 56 d + 4d^2 - 192

93 =  56 d + 4d^2

4d^2 + 56 d - 93 = 0

d = \frac{-56\pm \sqrt{56^{2}+4\times 4\times 93}}{8}

d=\frac{-56\pm 87.72}{8}\

d = 1.5 m

Thus, the width of the pavement is 1.5 m.
