Answer:

"It will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*C and water at 20*C."

Explanation:

Speed of sound in a medium depends upon the density and elasticity of the medium.

If the elasticity of a medium is greater and the density of that medium is lower, sound will travel faster. Although density is also a factor but the major factor is Elasticity.

Hence, sound travel faster in solids than in liquids and even slower in gases due to elasticity difference.

$Speed of sound = V = \sqrt{\frac{Elasticity}{Density} }$

That is why the speed of sound in glass will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*C and water at 20*C.

A spherical helium filled balloon (B) with a hanging passenger cage being held by a single vertical cable (C) attached to Earth

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The tension is $T = 4326.7 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The total mass is $m = 200 \ kg$

The radius is $r = 5 \ m$

The density of air is $\rho_a = 1.225 \ kg/m^3$

Generally the upward force acting on the balloon is mathematically represented as

$F_N = T + mg$

=> $(\rho_a * V * g ) = T + mg$

=> $T = (\rho_a * V * g ) - mg$

Here V is the volume of the spherical helium filled balloon which is mathematically represented as

$V = \frac{4}{3} * \pi r^3$

=> $V = \frac{4}{3} * 3.142 *(5)^3$

=> $V = 523.67\ m^3$

$T = (1.225 * 523.67* 9.8 ) - 200 * 9.8$

$T = 4326.7 \ N$

The radioactive 60co isotope is used in nuclear medicine to treat certain types of cancer. Calculate the wavelength and frequenc

Ivanshal [37]

1. Frequency: $3.23\cdot 10^{20} Hz$

The energy given is the energy per mole of particles:

$E=1.29\cdot 10^{11} J/mol$

1 mole contains a number of Avogadro of particles, $N_A$ , equal to

$N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23}$ particles

So, by setting the following proportion, we can calculate the energy of a single photon:

$1.29 \cdot 10^{11} J/mol : 6.022 \cdot 10^{23} ph/mol = E_1 : 1 ph\\E_1 = \frac{(1.29\cdot 10^{11} J/mol)(1 ph)}{6.022\cdot 10^{23} ph/mol}=2.14\cdot 10^{-13} J$

This is the energy of a single photon; now we can calculate its frequency by using the formula:

$E_1 = hf$

where

$h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js$ is the Planck's constant

f is the photon frequency

Solving for f, we find

$f=\frac{E_1}{h}=\frac{2.14\cdot 10^{-13} J}{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}=3.23\cdot 10^{20} Hz$

2. Wavelength: $9.29\cdot 10^{-13} m$

The wavelength of the photon is given by the equation:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$

where

$c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$

is the speed of the photon (the speed of light). Substituting,

$\lambda=\frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.23\cdot 10^{20} Hz}=9.29\cdot 10^{-13} m$

For a concave mirror, when the object is at focus the image is formed at

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

When the object is placed at the focus the image is formed at infinity.

Explanation:

When a ray passes through focus and incident on a concave mirror then it will travel parallel to principal axis after reflection.Hence the image is formed at infinity.
