Explanation:

We know that,

$v(wave \: speed) = f(frequency) \times \alpha (wavelength)$

frequency (f) = 1 / t (sec) = 8/60 = 0.13 Hz

V ( wave speed) = 0.13 * 120 = 16 m/sec

Which would you expect to freeze faster pure water or salt solution why?

krek1111 [17]

Pure water.

A salt solution contains impurities whereas pure water will not contain any impurities.

Impurities increase the boiling point (freezing point) of a substance.

Thus, I would expect the pure water solution to freeze faster than the salt solution.

A machine gun fires 50-g bullets at the rate of 4 bullets per second. The bullets leave the gun at a speed of 1000 m/s. What is

TEA [102]

Answer:

Average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

Explanation:

We have give mass of each bullet m = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

There are 4 bullets

So mass of 4 bullets = 4×0.05 = 0.2 kg

Initial speed of the bullet u = 0 m/sec

And final speed of the bullet v = 1000 m/sec

So change in momentum $P=m(v-u)=0.2\times (1000-0)=200kgm/sec$

Time is given per second so t = 1 sec

We know that force is equal to rate of change of momentum

So force will be equal to $F=\frac{200}{1}=200N$

So average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

A ball is thrown vertically downwards with a speed 7.3 m/s from the top of a 51 m tall building. With what speed will it hit the

ddd [48]

Answer:

32.46m/s

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this exercise we must be clear that the ball moves with constant acceleration with the value of gravity = 9.81m / S ^ 2

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are the follow

$\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X$
