GalinKa [24]3 years ago

Sound needs medium to travel and it can not travel without medium

so sound wave is a travelling wave

now we also know that sound wave propagate in form of rarefaction and compression.

So all medium particles travel in the direction of wave only

so it is a longitudinal wave also

so correct answer will be

<em>mechanical longitudinal </em>

What happens when a sound wave passes from oil into air? A. the sound wave slows down and bounces back B. the sound wave slows d
Jlenok [28]

Oil is optically denser than water. When sound/light goes from optically denser medium to optically rarer medium, their velocity increase and they moves away for normal.

<h3><u>Appropriate</u><u> </u><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

The sound wave speeds up and bends

\Large{ \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \bf{Option \: (D)}}}}}

As, In optics we learnt that light undergoes refraction when travels from medium of different densities. Similarly, Sound also follows the law of refraction.

  • It is due to the change of speed of water in different mediums, This makes it speed up or down depending upon the medium and their densities.

Which forces are shown on a free body diagram?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

What is a Free Body Diagram?

The free body diagram helps you understand and solve static and dynamic problem involving forces. It is a diagram including all forces acting on a given object without the other object in the system. You need to first understand all the forces acting on the object and then represent these force by arrows in the direction of the force to be drawn.

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

Explanation:

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40  mph. Representing 1 the total of the trip traveled, then the rest of the distance traveled is calculated as: 1-\frac{2}{7} =\frac{5}{7}

So if the truck covered the remaining 200 miles at \frac{2}{7}, this means that \frac{5}{7} of the trip represents the 200 miles. So, to calculate the total distance traveled by the truck, you apply the following rule of three: if \frac{5}{7} of the route represents 200 miles, the integer 1 (which represents the total of the route), how many miles are they?

miles=\frac{1*200miles}{\frac{5}{7} } =\frac{7}{5} *200 miles

miles= 280

So the total distance traveled is 280 miles. Since speed is the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it (speed=\frac{distance}{time}), then if the average of the entire trip was 35 mph and the distance traveled 280 miles, the time is calculated as:

time=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{280 miles}{35 mph}

time= 8 h

<u><em> The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.</em></u>

The speed of a car during a trip is represented in the graph. Compare distance and displacement at four hours into the trip.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: D.

Explanation:

Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, it is a scalar quantity.

Displacement refers to the space between two points, measure from the minimum path linking them, it is a vector quantity.

I'm not agree with these answers, because the total distance  is approximately 500km.

A) The distance traveled is 300 km.  This answer is not correct.

B) Distance is 300 km and displacement is 0 km.  This answer is not correct because the displacement is also 500 km.

C) Distance is 300 km/hour and displacement is 300 km. 300 km/h is a measure of speed not of distance, this option is wrong.

D) Both distance traveled and displacement are 300 km. I think this is the correct answer because distance and displacement measure the same. but I think both measure 500 km.

devlian [24]

Answer:

The right answer is:

(a) 63.83 kg

(b) 0.725 m/s

Explanation:

The given query seems to be incomplete. Below is the attachment of the full question is attached.

The given values are:

T = 3 sec

k = 280 N/m

(a)

The mass of the string will be:

⇒ T=2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

or,

⇒ m=\frac{k T^2}{4 \pi^2}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒     =\frac{280\times (3)^2}{4 \pi^2}

⇒     =\frac{280\times 9}{4\times (3.14)^2}

⇒     =68.83 \ kg

(b)

The speed of the string will be:

⇒  \frac{1}{2}k(0.4)^2=\frac{1}{2}k(0.2)^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2

then,

⇒             v=\sqrt{\frac{k((0.4)^2-(0.2)^2)}{m} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280\times ((0.4)^2-(0.2)^2)}{63.83} }

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280(0.16-0.04)}{63.83} }

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280\times 0.12}{63.83} }

⇒                =0.725 \ m/s
