Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The answer is false.

The speed of the sound in water is faster when compared to the speed of sound in air. This is because, the particles in air is loosely packed and are far from each other as compared to water or liquid.

The water particles are close to each other than air particles, so water particles are able to transmit the vibrations of the sound faster than the air particles.

Therefore sound waves travels faster in water than in air.

What are subtomic particles<br>

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

In the physical sciences, subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. They can be composite particles, such as the neutron and proton; or elementary particles, which according to the standard model are not made of other particles. Particle physics and nuclear physics study these particles and how they interact.

If the lily pads are spaced 2.4 m apart and Ferdinand jumps with a speed of 5 m/s taking 0.6 s to go from lily pad to lily pad,

Zina [86]

Answer:

$36.87^{\circ}$

Explanation:

v = Velocity of Ferdinand = 5 m/s

$\theta$ = Angle of jump

T = Time taken = 0.6 s

R = Distance between lily pads = 2.4 m

Horizontal range is given by

$R=v_xT\\\Rightarrow R=vcos\theta T\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{R}{vT}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\dfrac{R}{vT}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\dfrac{2.4}{5\times 0.6}\\\Rightarrow \theta=36.87^{\circ}$

The angle at which Ferdinand make each of his jumps is $36.87^{\circ}$

The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 50 km/

velikii [3]

To solve this problem, you must figure out (in vector form) both the wind vector and plane vector

w⃗ = wind vector

P⃗ = plane vector

To get the true course of the plane, you need to add the plane and wind vectors, the formula would be

w⃗ +P⃗ ,

which will result to the ground speed.

ground speed=||w⃗ +P⃗ ||

Using the planar representation of your situation, this will help you understand the equation, use this to make the equation more understandable.

w⃗ =AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, P⃗ =AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

the smaller circle is of radius 50 (similar to the wind speed) and the larger circle is of radius 200 (similar to the plane vector. To get the coordinates of these two vectors, use polar coordinates.

Let East be 0 degrees, so since the wind vector is on the circle of radius 50, we have:

w⃗ =⟨50cos(135),50sin(135)⟩=⟨−252√, 252√⟩.

P⃗ =⟨200cos(60),200sin(60)⟩=⟨100,\1003√⟩.

w⃗ +P⃗ =⟨100−252√ , 1003√+252√⟩

||w⃗ +P⃗ ||=(100−252√)2+(1003√+252√)2

√≈218.349218.

What is the momentum of a 200 kg truck travelling at 20 m/s?

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

p = 4000 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 200 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the truck. The formula for momentum is given by :

p = mv

so,

$p=200\times 20\\\\p=4000\ kg-m/s$

So, the momentum of the truck is equal to 4000 kg-m/s.
