Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Explanation:

Step 1:

Speed of sound in water varies from 1450 to 1498 meters per second

Speed of sound in Hot Molten lead is approximately 1210 meters per second

Speed of sound in warm air is approximately 338.89 meters per second

Speed of sound in cold air is approximately 293.33 meters per second

Step 2:

In warm air sound travels faster than that of sound travelling nature in cold air.

∴ Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Speed of sound in cold air the slowest while Speed of sound in water is the fastest mean.

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M = 3.6 kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/7.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(a) W_c=127.008 J

(b) W_g=148.176 J

(c) K.E. = 21.168 J

(d) v=3.4293m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg
  • initial velocity of the block, u=0 m.s^{-1}
  • constant downward acceleration, a_d= \frac{g}{7}

\Rightarrow That a constant upward acceleration of \frac{6g}{7} is applied in the presence of gravity.

∴a=- \frac{6g}{7}

  • height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m

(a)

Force by the cord on the block,

F_c= M\times a

F_c=3.6\times (-6)\times\frac{9.8}{7}

F_c=-30.24 N

∴Work by the cord on the block,

W_c= F_c\times d

W_c= -30.24\times 4.2

We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

W_c=-127.008 J

(b)

Force on the block due to gravity:

F_g= M.g

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it

F_g=3.6\times 9.8

F_g=35.28 N

∴Work by the gravity on the block,

W_g=F_g\times d

W_g=35.28\times 4.2

W_g=148.176 J

(c)

Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.

mathematically:

K.E.= W_g+W_c

K.E.=148.176-127.008

K.E. = 21.168 J

(d)

From the equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a_d\times d

putting the respective values:

v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times \frac{9.8}{7}\times 4.2 }

v=3.4293m.s^{-1} is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.

As a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit. the current flowing through a resistor isa) increasingb) decreasingc) constant
Montano1993 [528]
<h2>Answer: decreasing</h2>

An RC circuit is an electrical circuit composed of resistors and capacitors, where the charging time T of the circuit is proportional to the magnitude of the electrical resistance R and the capacity C of the capacitor.  

As shown below:

T=R.C

In this context, the electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electrons when moving through a conductor.

Therefore:

<h2>When a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit, the current flowing through a resistor <u>decreases</u>.</h2>

And the correct option is b.
