Answer:

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values ​​between

 wood      3900 m / s

 concrete 4000 m / s

 fabrics     1540 m / s

 earth       5000 m / s wave S

 ground    7000 m / s P wave

 

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.

Answer:

d) 2.12 V

Explanation:

E =E° - RT/nF log 1/H⁺ x HSO₄⁻

E = 2.08 - ( .059/2 X log 1/4.5x4.5 )

2.08 - (-0.038 ) = 2.118 =2.12 V

Hi please help with this question! Need the workings.

<span>Mass of the copper penny m = 2.6 g Atomic mass of copper = 63.55, Atomic number = 29, So the number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 63 - 29 = 34 a. Neutron mass = 34 x (2.6 / 63.55) = 1.4 grams Copper atoms per mole = 6.040 x 10^23 atoms/mol moles of copper = 2.6 / 63.06 = 0.04123 mol Total atoms in the copper = 6.040 x 10^23 atoms/mol x 0.04123 mol = 0.25 x 10^23 atoms Number of electrons in the copper = 29 per atom Mass of the electron = 9.085 x 10^-28 g b. Electron mass = 0.25 x 10^23 x 29 x 9.085 x 10^-28 = 65.86 x 10^-5 g</span>

the goat weighs 900 N and is 1 meter from the fulcrum. The strongman pulls down on the lever 3 meters from the fulcrum. What is
garik1379 [7]

Answer: The smallest effort = 300N

Explanation:

Using one of the condition for the attainment of equilibrium:

Clockwise moment = anticlockwise moments

900 × 1 = 3 × M

Where M = the weight of the strong man

3M = 900

M = 900/3 = 300N

Therefore, 300N is the smallest effort that the strongman can use to lift the goat
