The medium determines the speed of the wave traveling in it, which also can have a number of other effects, including how much the wave bends (refracts), whether it reflects, etc.
Because waves move through space, they must have a velocity. The velocity of a wave is a function of the type of wave, and the medium it travels through. Electromagnetic waves moving through a vacuum, for instance, travel at roughly 3 x

m/s. This value is so famous and common in physics it is given its own symbol, c.
Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.
Time t=2.4 minutes=2.4×60=144 seconds
distance s=1.2 miles=1.2×1609=1930.8 meters
speed v=s/t=1930.8÷144=[tex] \frac{1930.8}{144} = \frac{160.9}{12} =[/13.408m/s ~nearly]
Answer:
a. t = 1.43 s
b. d = 7.88 m
Explanation:
a. The time of flight can be found using the following equation:
Where:
: is the final height = -10 m
: is the initial height = 0
: is the initial speed in the vertical direction = 0
g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
By solving the above equation for "t" we have:
Hence, the ball will hit the ground in 1.43 s.
b. The distance in the horizontal direction can be found as follows:
Where:
x₀: is the initial position in the horizontal direction = 0
a: is the acceleration in the horizontal direction = 0 (it is moving at constant speed)
Therefore, the ball will travel 7.88 m before it hits the ground.
I hope it helps you!
Answer:
Molecules speed up
Explanation:
This is caused because of the temperature increasing. The temperature increase is telling us that the thermal energy of the reaction is increasing. When the energy is increased molecules increase their speed, because they have more energy in them
