A motion sensor acts as a transmitter when it sends out pulses and as a receiver when it listens for echoes. The delay ∆t betwee

n sending the pulse and receiving the echo is equal to 8.9 ms. The air temperature is equal to 20º C. Part A What is the distance between the motion sensor and the object?

Answer:

1.526 m

Explanation:

The motion sensor sends sound waves in air which travels at a speed of 343 m per second at 20 degree. If d be the distance of the reflecting object

total distance travelled = 2d

Time taken t = 8.9 x 10⁻³ s

velocity v  = 2d / t

343 = 2 d / (8.9 x 10⁻³)

d = 1.526 m

Exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) are an active area of modern research. Suppose astronomers find such a planet that
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

8.829 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

m = Mass of Exoplanet

g_e = Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Exoplanet

m=M-0.1M\\\Rightarrow m=0.9M

g_e=G\frac{M}{r^2}

g=G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}

Dividing the equations we get

\frac{g}{g_e}=\frac{G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}}{G\frac{M}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{g}{g_e}=0.9\\\Rightarrow g=0.9g_e\\\Rightarrow g=0.9\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow g=8.829\ m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Exoplanet is 8.829 m/s²

A student runs 120 meters in 10 seconds. What is their speed? Question 6 options: 1.2 m/s 1200 m/s 120 m/s 12 m/s
aleksklad [387]

12m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance run by student = 120 meters

Time = 10 seconds

Unknown:

Speed = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time:

       Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Now input the parameters:

       Speed = \frac{120}{10} = 12m/s

How will gravitational wave discovery help the scientists in their quest to fully understand gravity?
irina [24]
<span>The heavier the body is, the stronger its gravitational pull. Just like earth, we feel gravitational pull because we are attracted to earth and so is the moon. Also, the sun is heavier than the earth and therefore, we are attracted to the sun because of its gravitational pull. When the earth revolves around the sun, both of them releases gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are ripples of waves travelling outward from the source. The more massive the orbit of two bodies, the more it emits gravitational wave. And everything around it that is near within the wave experiences a ‘pull’ toward the orbiting bodies. The advantages we get when we can measure gravitational waves are; one, we can measure the activity between two bodies in orbit in the universe, two, scientist can estimate the merging of two bodies in the universe every 15 minutes by using LIGO and three, we can know the behavior of other bodies that we did not know exist.</span>
