As we know that energy of electromagnetic wave is given by

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

so here we know that penetrating power will directly depends on its energy and energy inversely depends on wavelength

So here we can say correct answer will be

C) The penetrating power decreases as the wavelength increases.

Speed of sound is maximum in solids and minimum in gas

so here as ice melts into water the speed of sound must have to decrease

so correct answer will be

D) The speed of sound would decrease because sound travels faster through solids than liquids.

mechanical waves required medium to travel while non mechanical waves do not require any medium to travel

so here correct answer will be

A) sound

What is the main difference between velocity and speed?

Marina86 [1]

Speed is scalar, meaning it's only going to be like 74 mph, doesn't matter which direction. Velocity is a vector, meaning it has direction. You can go -74mph when talking about velocity, not speed.

| A T-ball with a mass of 0.6 kg travels in the

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$|I|=6\ Kg.m/s$

$F=120\ N$

Explanation:

Impulse and Momentum

They are similar concepts since they deal with the dynamics of objects having their status of motion changed by the sudden application of a force. The momentum at a given initial time is computed as

$p_o=m.v_o$

When a force is applied, the speed changes to $v_1$ and the new momentum is

$p_1=m.v_1$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=p_1-p_0=m(v_1-v_o)$

The impulse is equal to the change of momentum of an object and it's defined as the average net force applied times the time it takes to change the object's motion

$I=F.t=\Delta p$

Part 1

The T-ball initially travels at 10 m/s and then suddenly it's stopped by the glove. The final speed is zero, so

$\Delta p=0.6\ Kg(0-10\ m/s)=-6\ Kg.m/s$

The impulse is

$I=\Delta p$

$I=-6\ Kg.m/s$

The magnitude is

$|I|=6\ Kg.m/s$

Part 2

The force can be computed from the formula

$I=F.t$

The direction of the impulse the T-ball receives is opposite to the direction of the force exerted by the ball on the glove, thus $I_b=6\ kg.m/s$

$\displaystyle F=\frac{I}{t}=\frac{6\ kg.m/s}{0.05\ s}$

$\boxed{F=120\ N}$

Which expression allows you to determine the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane can be determined using different variables. In this case, the geometry of the setup is relevant. The advantage is proportional to the length of the plane, and inversely proportional to the height: it is the ratio (length) / (height) of the plane. For example, given a desired, fixed height, a long inclined plane gives you a bigger mechanical advantage than a short inclined plane. In this example, pushing an object up the long plane will require a smaller force, than it would on the short plane.

Strictly speaking, (D) would also "allow you to determine the mechanical advantage" because you could simply invert the ratio listed under (D). However, (C) is the best, direct, answer.
