Ocean waves propagate through the medium called 'sea water'.

I’m which medium does sound travel fastest railroad track or across the room

blondinia [14]

The closer the particles, the more will be the propogation of sound waves. Room contains air molecules which are far away from each other. So it takes much time for one molecule of air to disturb the other one. But in case of solids, as particles are much closer(compared to fluids), disturbance generated by one molecule is quickly transmitted to the next molecule

What is the force of gravity between two 50.0kg masses that are separated by 0.300m?3.71x10-8N5.59x10-7N2.78x104N1.85x10-6N

Varvara68 [4.7K]

We will have the following:

$\begin{gathered} F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\Rightarrow F=\frac{(6.67\ast10^{-11}m^3\ast kg^{-1}\ast s^{-2})(50kg)(50kg)}{(0.3m)^2} \\ \\ \Rightarrow F=1.852777778...\ast10^{-6}N\Rightarrow F\approx1.85\ast10^{-6}N \end{gathered}$

So, the force is approximately 1.85*10^-6 N.

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to speed 6.6 m/s in 6.5 s .Find the distance the car travel during this time .

kirill [66]

Answer:

The distance the car traveled is 21.45 m

Explanation:

Motion With Constant Acceleration

It occurs when an object changes its velocity at the same rate thus the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

$v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]$

Where:

a = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf = final speed

t = time

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]$

Solving [1] for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

Substituting the given data vo=0, vf=6.6 m/s, t=6.5 s:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{6.6-0}{6.5}$

$a = 1.015\ m/s^2$

The distance is now calculated with [2]:

$\displaystyle x=0*6.5+\frac{1.015*6.5^2}{2}$

x = 21.45 m

The distance the car traveled is 21.45 m

A 20 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 80 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Find the coefficient

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41

Explanation:

Friction Force

When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

$Fr=\mu N$ [1]
