velocity is of sound id defined as distance covered by sound per unit time

here given that

distance covered by sound = 3.5 m

time taken by the sound = 0.919 millisecond

So the velocity of sound will be given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

v = \frac{3.5}{0.919* 10^{-3}}

v = 3808.5 m/s

so the speed of sound in the given medium is 3808.5 m/s

As we know that speed of sound in any substance is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{E}{\rho}}

As per the data available online the speed of sound in gold is 3250 m/s while speed of sound in glass is 4500 m/s

So here we can say the above speed is in between these two mediums whose elasticity and density ratio is more than gold but less than glass.

So this velocity of sound is nearly match with the data obtained for copper

So this speed is approx obtained in copper

Answer:

0.57 m

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the time it takes for the ball to cover the horizontal distance between the starting position and the crossbar. This can be done by analzying the horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal velocity is constant and it is

v_x = u cos \theta = (15)(cos 51.7^{\circ})=9.30 m/s

And the distance to cover is

d = 19 m

So the time taken is

t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{19}{9.30}=2.04 s

Now we want to find how high the ball is at that time. The initial vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta = (15)(sin 51.7^{\circ})=11.77 m/s

So the vertical position of the ball at time t is

y(t) = u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity. Substituting t = 2.04 s, we find

y=(11.77)(2.04)-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2.04)^2=3.62 m

The crossbar height is 3.05 m, so the difference is

\Delta h = 3.62 - 3.05 =0.57 m

So the ball passes 0.57 m above the crossbar.

The paper clip has _______ forces acting on it.
eimsori [14]

the correct answer is unbalanced because if it was balanced it would be floating because it would have no push or pull force.

Which statement is true about the law of conservation of energy for an object released from a certain height above the ground
gregori [183]

The question is really specific enough, but I will take a guess. If nothing else changes (like the mass or the gravitational constant) then the Potential Energy  will increase with an increase in height. Ep will decrease with a decrease in height.

If you are talking about Ke, then the height does not matter unless the object is moving up. Then it slows down. When that happens the Ke decreases because the formula for Ke = 1/2 m v^2.   If v becomes less then Ke becomes less.

I suppose you could say if the object is going down and the distance is decreasing then the speed will increase. It's an inverse relationship.

I think you are best talking about Pe.

You drag a suitcase of mass 8.2 kg with a force of f at an angle 41.9 ◦ with respect to the horizontal along a surface with kine
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

35.6 N

Explanation:

We can consider only the forces acting along the horizontal direction to solve the problem.

There are two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

- The horizontal component of the pushing force, which is given by

F_x = F cos \theta

with \theta=41.9^{\circ}

- The frictional force, whose magnitude is

F_f = \mu mg

where \mu=0.33, m=8.2 kg and g=9.8 m/s^2.

The two forces have opposite directions (because the frictional force is always opposite to the motion), and their resultant must be zero, because the suitcase is moving with constant velocity (which means acceleration equals zero, so according to Newton's second law: F=ma, the net force is zero). So we can write:

F_x - F_f=0\\F_x = F_f\\F cos \theta = \mu mg\\F=\frac{\mu mg}{cos \theta}=\frac{(0.33)(8.2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}{cos(41.9^{\circ})}=35.6 N
