Answer:

c. Sound travels slower than light.

Explanation:

We see any thing because of the light emitted or reflected by it. Whereas the sound is carried by the sound waves. The speed of light is more than the speed of sound. This is the reason the family saw the fireworks first and then heard the sound.

The same can be experienced during the sighting of a Jet plane or a rocket where, we see them way before we can hear the roaring sound of its engines.

When Woods hits a 0.04593 kg golf ball, the golf ball is usually traveling around 281 kilometers per hour. What average force do
Semenov [28]

Answer:

128.9 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on the golf ball is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the ball, so we can write:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

F is the force

\Delta p is the change in momentum

\Delta t=0.030 s is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m = 0.04593 kg is the mass of the ball

u = 0 is the initial velocity of the ball

v=281 km/h =78.1 m/s is the final velocity of the ball

Substituting into the original equation, we find the force exerted on the golf ball:

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.04593)(78.1-0)}{0.030}=128.9 N

Which considerations are used to calculate a windchill factor? Select two options.
vlada-n [284]

Wind speed and air temperature are used to calculate a windchill factor.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

Wind-chill factor is the reduction of body temperature due to the passing flow of lower-temperature air.

The air temperature  value is always higher than the wind chill numbers. the heat index will be used if the apparent temperature is higher than the air temperature.So, Wind speed and air temperature are mainly used to calculate a windchill factor.

There are many ways, the surface loses its heat through conduction, evaporation,radiation, and convection.The rate of convection depends on  the difference in temperature between the surface and the fluid surrounding the surface and the velocity of that fluid with respect to the surface. The air around the warm surface will be heated, an insulating  layer of warm air forms against the surface.The layer becomes a boundary between two. As the wind speed is high the surface cools down rapidly.

Newtons law of garvitation is known as universal law. Why​
xeze [42]

Answer:

It is called so because it is applicable on all bodies having mass, and the bodies will be governed by the same law, that is newton's law of gravitation. Thus, as it is applicable universally, it is called as universal law.
