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

What force acts on all objects, all the time on Earth?
TiliK225 [7]

The force that acts on all objects, all the time on Earth is gravitational force.

The force that surface exert on an object perpendicularly is normal reaction.

<h3>What force acts on all objects, all the time on Earth?</h3>
  • Force due to gravity is gravitational pull on objects due to its position on earth's surface.

The force due to gravity on object's is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F = mg

where;

  • m is the mass of the object
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

The force that surface exert on an object perpendicularly is normal reaction.

Thus, the force that acts on all objects, all the time on Earth is gravitational force.

Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher (b) lower, or (c)
frez [133]

Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>
