D.multiple. because you always have to double check to see if its true or not. Majority rule.

It would be D. The reason is because you always want to cross-reference your information of multiple, reliable sites to confirm (Or deny) you information. For example, if I googled "Do cats really have nine lives?" The results appear as a study from a college in New York and an article about cats. You can't really trust a random website, as anyone can edit it and make it inaccurate. That means you should just read the study, right? Wrong. You should read both of the pages, and find which parts seem to be in both of them. These parts are likely accurate, because they were on two different sources.

An acorn falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.8 s. How far did the acorn fall . Use g = 9.8 m/s^2. Round your final result

mylen [45]

The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.

Then using the second law of equation,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so

$s=0+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 0.8 \times 0.8\right)=\frac{6.272}{2}=3.136 \mathrm{m}$

So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

Janice has just measured the density of an object. Which value is possible? (Density: D = )

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

By definition, the density of an object is given by:

$D = \frac{M}{V}$

Where,

M: mass of the object

V: volume of the object

Since the mass and volume of an object are numerical values greater than zero, then it follows that:

$D> 0$

It is important to respect the units of each measure.

For this case we can use the grams for the mass and cubic centimeters for the volume.

Answer:

A possible value for density is given by:

$6 \frac{g}{cm^3}$

What tension would you need to make a middle c (261.6 hz) fundamental mode on a 1 m string (for example, on a harp)? the linear

Allisa [31]

The frequency of middle C on a string is
f = 261.6 Hz.

The given linear density is
ρ = 0.02 g/cm = (0.02 x 10⁻³ kg)/(10⁻² m)
= 0.002 kg/m

The length of the string is L = 1 m.

Let T = the tension in the string (N).
The velocity of the standing wave is
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\rho} }$

In the fundamental mode, the wavelength, λ, is equal to the length, L.
That is
Because v = fλ, therefore
$\sqrt{ \frac{T}{\rho} } =f \lambda = fL \\\\ \frac{T}{\rho} = (fL)^{2} \\\\ T = \rho (fL)^{2}$

From given information, obtain
T = (0.002 kg/m)*(261.6 1/s)²*(1 m)²
= 136.87 N

Answer: 136.9 N (nearest tenth)
