An important news announcement is transmitted by radio waves to people sitting next to their radios 42 km from the station and b

y sound waves to people sitting across the newsroom 9.26 m from the newscaster. Taking the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s, who receives the news first?

Answer:

news will reach to the listener who are 42 km apart

Explanation:

given,

distance of the radios from the station = 42 Km

speed of the sound in the air = 343 m/s

distance of the people = 9.26 m

time =\dfrac{distance}{speed}

time taken by the signal to reach to the radio

speed of the electromagnetic wave to reach to the people

speed of electromagnetic wave = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

t =\dfrac{42000}{3 \times 10^8}

t = 1.4 μs

time taken to reach to the people

time =\dfrac{distance}{speed}

t =\dfrac{9.26}{343}

t = 27 ms

time taken by the station to radio is less.

hence, news will reach to the listener who are 42 km apart

Which force attracts all matter to each other
likoan [24]

Gravity is the force that attracts all matter to each other.

Explanation:

Sir Isaac Newton discovered Gravity when he saw a falling apple while thinking about the forces of nature.

Gravity is a fundamental force that causes objects to have weight. Gravity acts on all matter and is a function of both mass and distance. Each object attracts every other object with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force of attraction is, however, negligible between most objects because of their small size.

Gravitational force is given as:

F = \frac{Gm1m2}{r^{2} }

Where G is gravitational constant and is equal to 6.674×10−11 m³⋅kg⁻¹⋅s⁻²

m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects.

r is the distance between the two objects.

The gravity is what makes an apple fall on the ground and gravity is the force that keeps us on the ground.

Keywords: gravity, Newton, Force, weight

How could you test the hypothesis that elephants interpreted the ground signal as being farther away than the air signal?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values ​​between

 wood      3900 m / s

 concrete 4000 m / s

 fabrics     1540 m / s

 earth       5000 m / s wave S

 ground    7000 m / s P wave

 

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.
