Sound travels faster through rigid material like steel rather than through spongy materials like rubber. Why?

<span>since sound travels using mechanical waves and needs a material medium to propagate and since mechanical waves spread through vibrations ...and since hard materials have their atoms packed closely....they need to vibrate with a smaller amplitude to pass on the wave....thus sound travels faster in a denser medium than a less dense one.</span>

When serving a tennis ball, a player hits the ball when its velocity is zero (at the highest point of a vertical toss). The racq

Lilit [14]

Answer:60 gm

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity of ball $u=0$

Force exerted by racquet $F=540 N$

time period of force $t=5\ ms$

final velocity of ball $v=45\ m/s$

Racquet imparts an impulse to the ball which is given by

$J=F\Delta t=\Delta P$

$J=540\times \Delta t=m(45-0)$

$m=\frac{540\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{45}$

$m=60\ gm$

A helicopter blade spins at exactly 100 revolutions per minute. Its tip is 5.00 m from the center of rotation. (a) Calculate the

professor190 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A helicopter blade spins at exactly 100 revolutions per minute.

Its tip is 5.00 m from the center of rotation, r = 5 m

(a) Let v is the average speed of the blade tip in the helicopter’s frame of reference. Distance covered by the helicopter, $d=2\pi r$

In 100 revolutions, $d=200\pi r=1000\pi$

So, average speed of the blade tip in one second is given by :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$v=\dfrac{1000\pi\ m}{60\ s}$

v = 52.35 m/s

(b) The average velocity over one revolution is zero because the net displacement in one rotation is 0.

Hence, this is the required solution.
