A hammer strikes one end of a thick iron rail of length 5.60 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two

pulses of sound, one that travels through the air and a longitudinal wave that travels through the rail. (The speeds of sound in air and in iron are 343 m/s and 5950 m/s, respectively.) (a) Which pulse reaches the microphone first? the pulse traveling through the air the pulse traveling through the iron rail (b) Find the separation in time between the arrivals of the two pulses.

Which type of electromagnetic radiation may damage central nervous system
Furkat [3]

Answer:

microwaves

Explanation:

microwaves do emit radiation, technically speaking, but it's not the DNA-damaging radiation we're used to hearing about. Microwaves, along with radio waves from (you guessed it) radio and cell phone towers, are types of non-ionizing radiation.

Goshia [24]

If an object is thrown in an upward direction from the top of a building 1.60 x 102 ft. high at an initial velocity of 21.82 mi/h, what is its final velocity when it hits the ground? (Disregard wind resistance. Round answer to nearest whole number and do not reflect negative direction in your answer.)


this question is troubling me i guessed 96 ft/s

can someone help me out and explain it thanks so much!!!!!!

Importance of choke coil?<br><br>​
Verdich [7]

Answer:The choke coil works because it can act as an inductor. When the current pass through will change as AC currents creates a magnetic field in the coil that works against that current. This is known as inductance and blocks most of the AC current from passing through.

andreev551 [17]

Answer: Teeth is an example of a wedge.

Explanation :

the machines that make our work easier are called simple machines. Some machines can be compound because they are a combination of more than two simple machines. For example, stapler.

Teeth are an example of a wedge. It is a simple machine which consists of two inclined planes. It is used to split apart objects.  

The mechanical advantage of a wedge is more than 1.

So, the correct option is (b) " Wedge".

A laser beam enters a 16.5 cm thick glass window at an angle of 58.0° from the normal. The index of refraction of the glass is 1
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

using Snells law

Oi = angle of incidence = 58.0°

    ni = index of refraction of air = 1.0003

    nr = index of refraction of glass = 1.47

    c = speed of light in vacuum = 3 x 10^8 m/s

    Or = angle of refraction = ?

ni(sinOi) = nR (sinOr)

ni( sinOi)/ nR = sinOr

arcsin(ni(sin0i))/nR = Or

arcsin( 1.0003(sin58.0)) / 1.47

Or = 35.25°
