A thunderclap sends a sound wave through the air and the ocean below. The

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

C. 14.93 m

Explanation:

The given frequency of the wave, f = 100 Hz

The given equation for the wave speed, <em>v</em>, is presented as follows;

v = f × λ

The speed of sound in water, v = 1,493 m/s

Therefore, we get;

The wavelength, λ = v/f

∴ λ = 1,493 m/s/(100 Hz) = 14.93 m

The wavelength, λ = 14.93 m.

Provided following are four different ranges of stellar masses. Rank the stellar mass ranges based on how many stars in each ran

elena-s [515]

Highest to lowest number:

-less than 1 solar mass

-between 1 and 10 solar masses

-between 10 and 30 solar masses

-between 30 and 60 solar masses

<h3>What is Stellar masses ?</h3>

Stellar mass is a phrase that is used by astronomers to describe the mass of a star.

It is usually enumerated in terms of the Sun's mass as a proportion of a solar mass ( M ☉). Hence, the bright star Sirius has around 2.02 M ☉.

Stellar masses are not fixed, although they change for single stars only on long periods.

Calculate the acceleration using the formula acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

10 km/hr/s

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

For the car in this problem:

u = 0

$v=60 km/h$

t = 6 s

Substituting in the equation,

$a=\frac{60 km/h-0}{6s}=10 km/h/s$

The 1.53-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity of the bar when θ = 32° is 1.70 rad/s

Explanation:

From the diagram attached below; we use the conservation of energy to determine the spring constant by using to formula:

$T_1+V_1=T_2+V_2$

$0+0 = \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg (a+b) sin \ \theta }{2} \\ \\ k \delta^2 = mg (a+b) sin \ \theta \\ \\ k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{\delta^2}$

Also;

$\delta = \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2}$

Thus;

$k = \frac{mg(a+b) sin \ \theta }{( \sqrt{h^2 +a^2 +2ah sin \ \theta} - \sqrt{h^2 +a^2})^2}$

where;

$\delta$ = deflection in the spring

k = spring constant

b = remaining length in the rod

m = mass of the slender bar

g = acceleration due to gravity

$k = \frac{(1.53*9.8)(0.6+0.2) sin \ 64 }{( \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2 +2*0.6*0.6 sin \ 64} - \sqrt{0.6^2 +0.6^2})^2}$

$k = 104.82\ \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant = 104.82 N/m

The angular velocity can be calculated by also using the conservation of energy;

$T_1+V_1 = T_3 +V_3 \\ \\ 0+0 = \frac{1}{2}I_o \omega_3^2+\frac{1}{2}k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \theta }{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \frac{m(a+b)^2}{3} \omega_3^2 + \frac{1}{2} k \delta^2 - \frac{mg(a+b)sin \ \theta }{2} =0$
