Answer:

greater

Explanation:

the speed of sound in steel is greater than water. the speed of sound in wood is not, In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Wood is less dense and force can make a sound.

At baseball practice, Mason and Alfredo both picked up the same bat and neither would let go until one of them had it for himsel

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Option B. O because the net force was 5 N in Alfredo's direction

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, we shall determine the net force acting on the bat. This can be obtained as follow:

Force of pull by Mason (Fₘ) = 15 N

Force of pull by Alfredo (Fₐ) = 20 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = 20 – 15

Fₙ = 5 N in Alfredo's direction

From the calculation made above, we can see that the net force is 5N in Alfredo's direction. This is the reason why Alfredo end up having the bat.

a particle is moving along a circular path having a radius of 4 in such that its position as a function of time is given by thet

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of circular path $r=4\ in.$

Position is given by

$\theta =\cos 2t---1$

Differentiate 1 to angular velocity we get

$\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta }{\mathrm{d} t}=\omega =-2\sin 2t----2$

Differentiate 2 to get angular acceleration

$\frac{\mathrm{d} \omega }{\mathrm{d} t}=-2^2\cos 2t ---3$

Net acceleration is the vector summation of tangential and centripetal force

$a_t=\alpha \times r$

$a_t=-4\cos 2t\times 4=-16\cos 2t$

$a_r=\omega ^2\cdot r$

$a_r=(-2\sin 2t)^2\cdot 4$

$a_r=16\sin^2(2t)$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{a_r^2+a_t^2}$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{(16\sin ^2(2t)+(-16\cos 2t)^2}$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{256\cos ^2(2t)+256\sin ^4(2t)}$

Time period from one noon to the next

matrenka [14]

That's the period of time known as one solar "day". We subdivide it into 24 slices which we call "hours". Using this system of time units, the day is about 4 minutes longer than one complete axial rotation of the Earth.

Why does Energy appear continuous in everyday life?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The first law of thermodynamics, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. For example, turning on a light would seem to produce energy; however, it is electrical energy that is converted. Nothing happens to the energy. It does not change form, since energy has no form. ... If the energy was moving, it gets stored or re-transmitted elsewhere. Using energy means controlling its movement, rather than consuming it.

In a given system of units the ratio of the unit of volume to that of area gives the unit of

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

length

Explanation:

SI unit of volume = m^3

SI unit of area = m^2

volume unit / Area unit = m^3 / m^2

i.e, unit of length
