Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. ... Sound is a form of mechanical energy caused by vibrations of matter. Light is electromagnetic energy caused by interacting electric and magnetic fields.

What should a student do if the hydrochloric acid splashes in their eyes?<br> .
gayaneshka [121]

First aid suggestions include:

Hold your face under running water for 15 to 20 minutes and allow the water stream to flood into your eyes. Use your fingers to hold your eyelids apart (make sure there is no trace of the chemical on your fingers).

If you wear contact lenses, remove them as soon as possible.

Seek immediate medical advice. Medical staff will need to know what chemical was involved, particularly whether it was acid or alkaline, liquid or powder.

Do not judge the seriousness of your eye injury on the degree of pain. For example, alkali chemicals don’t usually cause significant symptoms, but can seriously damage the eye.

Powder or particulate (granular matter, like wet concrete) chemicals can be particularly damaging since they are more difficult to flush out.

Find the weight of a 25 kg table. (Use g= 10 m/s?)
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

weight = 25*10 =250 N

Explanation:

g must be given in units of m/s^2

The weight of any type of body will be the product of his mass by the gravity

where:

m =mass [kg]

F = force [N] or [kg*m/s^2]

g = acceleration [m/s^2]

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

  • < 25 m/s
  • triangle inequality
  • between north and east
  • 45° < angle < 60°

Explanation:

(a) Just as one-dimensional numbers add on a number line by putting them end-to-end, so two-dimensional numbers add on a coordinate plane the same way.

Here, we choose to let the positive y-axis represent North, and the positive x-axis, East. This is the way a map is conventionally oriented. The velocity of the plane is represented by a vector pointing north (up). Its length represents the magnitude of the velocity. Likewise, the wind is represented by a vector of length 15 pointing east (right). The sum of these is the hypotenuse of the triangle they form.

The magnitude of the sum can be found here using the Pythagorean theorem, but for the purpose of this question, you're not asked to find that.

Instead, you're asked to estimate whether it is more or less than 25 (m/s).

Your knowledge of the triangle inequality will tell you that the hypotenuse (resultant) must be shorter than the sum of the lengths of the sides of the triangle, hence must be less than 10+15 = 25.

__

(b) The triangle inequality says the resultant is less than the sum of the other two sides of the triangle.

__

(c) Since the wind is blowing the plane toward the east, but the plane is traveling toward the north, the resulting direction is somewhere between north and east.

__

(d) "Somewhere between north and east" can be expressed as the inequality ...
