Answer:

statement b is correct

Explanation:

In water the molecules are more close together and can vibrate faster (send sound waves) whereas in gas the molecules are more further away from each other and hence sound is slowest in gas and fastest in solids

10. A hockey puck with mass 0.3 kg is sliding along ice that can be considered frictionless. The puck’s velocity is 20 m/s when

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

$d = \frac{v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{(20m/s)^2}{2* 3.43 m/s^2}=58.309m$

Explanation:

For this case we can use the second law of Newton given by:

$\sum F = ma$

The friction force on this case is defined as :

$F_f = \mu_k N = \mu_k mg$

Where N represent the normal force, $\mu_k$ the kinetic friction coeffient and a the acceleration.

For this case we can assume that the only force is the friction force and we have:

$F_f = ma$

Replacing the friction force we got:

$\mu_k mg = ma$

We can cancel the mass and we have:

$a = \mu_k g = 0.35 *9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}= 3.43 \frac{m}{s^2}$

And now we can use the following kinematic formula in order to find the distance travelled:

$v^2_f = v^2_i - 2ad$

Assuming the final velocity is 0 we can find the distance like this:

$d = \frac{v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{(20m/s)^2}{2* 3.43 m/s^2}=58.309m$

A gas is compressed at constant temperature from a volume of 5.68 L to a volume of 2.35 L by an external pressure of 732 torr. C

Vlada [557]

Answer: The work done in J is 324

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of work done for an isothermal process is given by the equation:

$W=-P\Delta V=-P(V_2-V_1)$

W = amount of work done = ?

P = pressure = 732 torr = 0.96 atm (760torr =1atm)

$V_1$ = initial volume = 5.68 L

$V_2$ = final volume = 2.35 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$W=-0.96atm\times (2.35-5.68)L=3.20L.atm$

To convert this into joules, we use the conversion factor:

$1L.atm=101.33J$

So, $3.20L.atm=3.20\times 101.3=324J$

The positive sign indicates the work is done on the system

Hence, the work done for the given process is 324 J

A 51-kg woman runs up a vertical flight of stairs in 5.0 s. Her net upward displacement is 5.0 m. Approximately, what average po

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The average power the woman exerts is 0.5 kW

Explanation:

We note that power, P = The rate at which work is done = Work/Time

Work = Energy

The total work done is the potential energy gained which is the energy due to vertical displacement

Given that the vertical displacement = 5.0 m, we have

Total work done = Potential energy gained = Mass, m × Acceleration due to gravity, g × Vertical height, h

m = 51 kg

g = Constant = 9.81 m/s²

h = 5.0 m

Also, time, t = 5.0 s

Total work done = 51 kg × 9.81 m/s²× 5 m = 2501.55 kg·m²/s² = 2501.55 J

P = 2501.55 J/(5 s) = 500.31 J/s = 500.31 W ≈ 500 W = 0.5 kW.

Two circles are drawn in a 12-inch by 14-inch rectangle. Each circle has a diameter of 6 inches. If the circles do not extend be

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

d = 10 inch

Explanation:

The farthest distance between the centers, is along the diagonal of the rectangle. Therefore, we need to calculate the diagonal of the rectangle, but counting the fact that we have both circles.

So if, one side is 12 inch, and the other is 14 inch, we can use the Pitagoras theorem which is:

d = √(a²) + (b)²

Where a and b, are the lenght of the rectangle, but without the lenght of the diameter of both circles.

With this, the expression is this:

d = √(14 - 6)² + (12 - 6)²

d = √64+36

d = √100

d = 10 inches
