A sound wave traveling eastward through air

1 answer:

4 0

1 - Vibrate east and west

Sound waves are <em>longitudinal waves</em>, that means the vibrations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer. If the energy transfer is going East, then the vibrations will be East and West creating compressions and rarefactions in the air.

Assume that the equator of the Earth is 24,000 miles long (that’s its circumference). Now, pretend that you are standing somewhe

slega [8]

Answer:

1000 mph

Explanation:

P = Perimeter = 24000 mi

r = Radius of the equator

t = Time taken to complete one rotation = 24 h

Perimeter of a circle is given by

$P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{24000}{2\pi}\ mi$

Angular speed is given by

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{t}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{24}$

Velocity if given by

$v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{24000}{2\pi}\times \dfrac{2\pi}{24}\\\Rightarrow v=1000\ mph$

The person would be going at a speed of 1000 mph

A vertical spring stretches 3.4 cm when a 12-g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 26 g that osc

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Period of motion is approximately 0.5447 seconds

Explanation:

We start by calculating the constant "k" of the spring which can be derived from the fact that an object of mass 12 g produced a stretch of 3.4 cm: (we write everything in SI units)

F = k * x

0.012 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = k 0.034 m

k = 0.012 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 / (0.034 m)

k = 3.46 N/m

now we use the formula for the period (T) of a spring of constant k with a hanging mass 'm':

$T=2\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

which in our case becomes:

$T=2\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{0.026}{3.46} } \approx 0.5447\,\,sec$

Why does a lorry travelling at 30mph have more kinetic energy than a car travelling at the same velocity?

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Because it has more mass

Explanation:

To understand this, think about the equation of kinetic energy

KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ m $v^{2}$

Kinetic energy depends on both the velocity (v) as well as the mass (m).

Because a lorry is bigger and heavier than a car, it will have more mass. With more mass, at the same velocity the lorry with have more kinetic energy.

The Bohr model below represents which answer Choice

Anton [14]

Answer:

Na⁺

Explanation:

In the given atom:

Number of protons = 11

Number of neutrons = 12

So, the number of electrons = 10

The number of protons within an atom is used to determine the kind of atom we have been given.

Since the number of protons is the same as the atomic number, here the atomic number is 11 and this is Sodium .

In this sodium atom, the number of protons is more than the number of electrons;

Charge = number of protons - number of electrons = 11 - 10 = +1

So, we have a Na⁺
