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.

a spiral spring of natural length 10.0cm has a scale pan hanging freely in its tower ends . When an object of mass of 20g is pla

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

There seems to be a typo in the problem statement. It says the spring stretches to a shorter length after more mass is added. Please check the problem statement. I'm going to do the calculations assuming that the first length should be 11.80 cm and the second length should be 12.05 cm.

Hooke's law states that the force needed to compress or extend a linear spring is:

F = kΔx, where k is the stiffness and Δx is the displacement.

When a 20g object is placed in the pan, the spring stretches to a length of 11.80 cm. The force of the spring is counteracting the weight of both the pan and the object. Therefore:

(m + 0.020) g = k (0.1180 - 0.100)

And when another 30g object is placed in the pan, the spring stretches to a length of 12.05 cm.

(m + 0.020 + 0.030) g = k (0.1205 - 0.100)

We now have two equations and two variables. If we divide the second equation by the first equation:

(m + 0.050) / (m + 0.020) = (0.1205 - 0.100) / (0.1180 - 0.100)

(m + 0.050) / (m + 0.020) = 0.02050 / 0.0180

0.0180 (m + 0.050) = 0.02050 (m + 0.020)

0.0180 m + 0.0009 = 0.02050 m + 0.00041

0.00049 = 0.0025 m

m = 0.196

The pan has a mass of 0.196 kg, or 196 g.

Difference between male and female gamete

Inga [223]

Answer:

The male gamete is smaller in comparison to that of the female gamete.

The male gamete is conical from the front while the female gamete is spherical.

The cytoplasm in the male gamete is less in comparison to that of the female gamete.

The male gamete can move with the help of the tail while the female gametes are immobile and do not have any tail or flagella present.

The number of mitochondria present in the sperm is less than the number of mitochondria present in the ovum.

The male gamete has acrosome present in the head region that contains enzymes for dissolving the membranes present around the ovum. The ovum does not contain such digestive enzymes.

Bill and amy want to ride their bikes to school which is 14.4 kilometers away. It takes Amy 49 minutes to get to school and bill

Drupady [299]

3.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance to school = 14.4km

Time taken by Amy = 49min

Time taken by bill = 20min after Amy = 20+49 = 69min

Unknown parameters:

How much faster is Amy's average speed = ?

Solution:

Average speed is the rate of change of total distance with total time taken.

Average speed = $\frac{total distance }{total time taken}$

convert units to meters and seconds

1000m = 1km

60s = 1min

Distance to school = 14.4 x 1000 = 14400m

Time taken by Amy = 49 x 60 = 2940s

Time taken by Bill = 69 x 60 = 4140s

Average speed of Amy = $\frac{14400}{2940}$ = 4.9m/s

Average speed of Bill = $\frac{4140}{2940}$ = 1.4m/s

Differences in speed = 4.9 - 1.5 = 3.4m/s

Amy was 3.4m/s faster than Bill

A car starts from rest and acquires a velocity of 50m/s in 3secs. Calculate i) acceleration ii) distance covered.

mafiozo [28]

Answer: 75.02 m

Explanation:

u = 0 ( starts from rest )

v = 50 m/s

t = 3 s

( i ) a = v - u / t

= 50 - 0 /3

= 16.67

( ii ) s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 0 × 3 + 1/2 × 16.67 × 3 × 3

= <u>75.02 m</u>

Hope this helps...

A(n) 82.7 kg boxer has his first match in the Canal Zone with gravitational acceleration 9.782 m/s 2 and his second match at the

Annette [7]

Answer:

82.7 kg

Explanation:

the mass of the boxer remains unchanged, this is because mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object irrespective of its location and the gravitational force acting at its location. this means mass is independent of the gravitational acceleration hence it remains the same 82.7 kg. its unit is in kilograms (Kg).
