Answer: A. Transverse

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical transverse wave, it travels faster in solids than in liquids or gases. This is because the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium.

In addition, the speed of sound varies with changes in the temperature of the medium. This is because an increase in temperature means that the frequency of interactions between the particles that transport the vibration increases, hence this increase in activity increases the speed.

Hence:

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 1.5 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th

Inessa05 [86]

initially coin is at rest and then it drop for total time t = 1.5 s

so here the speed of the coin at which it will hit the floor is to be find

$v_f = v_i + at$

here we know that

$v_i = 0$

a = 9.8 m/s^2

t = 1.5 s

now from above equation

$v_f = 0 + 1.5 (9.8)$

$v_f = 14.7 m/s$

so it will hit the floor with speed 14.7 m/s

light waves. the other waves like gamma rays or infrared waves or radio waves are all not visible to the eye. light is the only thing out of those you can see.

A lawn roller in the form of a thin-walled, hollow cylinder with mass M is pulled horizontally with a constant horizontal force

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

$a_{cm}=\frac{F}{2M}\\\\F_{fr}=\frac{F}{2}$

Explanation:

Given the mass as M, the rotational inertia of the mower is;

$I_{cm}=MR^2$

-The roller doesn't slip while rolling;

$v_{cm}=wR, a_{cm}=\alpha R$

$\sum F_x=Ma_x, -F+F_{fr}=-Ma_{cm}\\\\a_{cm}=\frac{F-Fr}{M} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ eqtn1\\\\\sum \tau_{cm}=I_{cm}\alpha, F_{fr}(R)}=(MR^2)(\frac{a_{cm}}{R}), ->F_{fr}=Ma_c_m\ \ \ \ \ \ \ eqtn2\\\\a_{cm}=\frac{F-Ma_{cm}}{M}, ->F=2Ma_{cm}\\\\a_{cm}=\frac{F}{2M}\\\\\\\therefore F_{fr}=M(\frac{F}{2M})\\\\F_{fr}=\frac{F}{2}$
