Answer:
A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.
Explanation:
- The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
- Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
- In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
- So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.
Answer:
KE₂ = 6000 J
Explanation:
Given that
Potential energy at top U₁= 7000 J
Potential energy at bottom U₂= 1000 J
The kinetic energy at top ,KE₁= 0 J
Lets take kinetic energy at bottom level = KE₂
Now from energy conservation
U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂
Now by putting the values
U₁+ KE₁= U₂+ KE₂
7000+ 0 = 1000+ KE₂
KE₂ = 7000 - 1000 J
KE₂ = 6000 J
Therefore the kinetic energy at bottom is 6000 J.
It would be option C. It rotates, or spins, on its axis, but it revolves around the sun.
