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.

An object is dropped from rest from a height of 4.4 107 m above the surface of the Earth. If there is no air resistance, what is
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object is drop from a height, then it is in direction of gravity

g is +ve

When an object drop from a height, the initial velocity is 0,

U=0

Given that h=4.4×10^7m

V=?

g=9.81m/s^2

Then using equation of motion

V^2=U^2+2gh

V^2=0+2×9.81×4.4×10^7

V^2=86.33×10^7m/s

Take square root of both side

V=29381.63m/s

Now to km/s, divide by 1000

Since 1km=1000m

V=29.38km/s

A rectangular object was found to have a mass of 1.278 kg and density of 4.98  g/cm3. Suppose that you knew that the length was
Leni [432]

Answer:

89.6 cm

Explanation:

From the question,

Volume of the rectangular object = Mass/Density.

V = m/D.................. Equation 1

Given: m = 1.278 kg, D = 4.98 g/cm³ = 4980 kg/m³

Substitute into equation 1

V = 1.278/4980

V = 2.57×10⁻⁴ m³.

But,

V = lwh............... Equation 2

Where l = length of the rectangular object, w = width of the rectangular object, h = height of the rectangular object.

make h the subject of the equation

h = V/lw........... Equation 3

Given: V = 2.57×10⁻⁴ m³, l = 0.047 m, w = 0.061 m.

Substitute into equation 3

h = 2.57×10⁻⁴/(0.047×0.061)

h = 0.896 m

h = 89.6 cm

How can physicists use Newton’s laws of motion and universal gravitation to predict objects’ motion?
koban [17]

Answer:

Newtons law of universal gravitation is the phenomena in which Newton said that every particle in environment will attract other particles in the space.  

Explanation:

Newton law of motion and gravitation attract forcefully which is direct proportional to the masses of the particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between the centers. Other physicist used Newtons law in research related to motion or to find out the distance between earth and sun. Because this law is about the mass of the objects. When the mas of an object is doubled, the force between the objects get too doubled. When the mass of the two objects is doubled the gravitational pull between these two objects gets doubled. Sir Isaac Newton first gave this law when see fall down an apple from tree.

Formula is : F = G  Mm/r2 Here G is gravitational pull that is constant.
