7 0

Steel is the medium in which the velocity of sound wave is greatest.

Explanation:

The speed at which light in solids are faster when compared to gases and  liquids. This is because the molecules in the solid are tightly packed when compared to the molecules arrangement in gases and liquids. The sound travels 17 times faster in solids than in other states of matter.

Lead is also solid. But the arrangement molecules is more tight and compact in steel than in lead. Thus, in steel the speed at which the sound travels  is 5960m/s whereas the speed of sound in lead is 1960m/s .

If an object has a kinetic energy of 30 j and mass of 34kg how fast is the object moving ?
Murrr4er [49]

Ek = (m*V^2) / 2 where m is mass and V is speed, then we can take this equation and manipulate it a little to isolate the speed.

Ek = mv^2 / 2 — multiply both sides by 2

2Ek = mv^2 — divide both sides by m

2Ek / m = V^2 — switch sides

V^2 = 2Ek / m — plug in values

V^2 = 2*30J / 34kg

V^2 = 60J/34kg

V^2 = 1.76 m/s — sqrt of both sides

V = sqrt(1.76)

V = 1.32m/s (roughly)

The drawing shows a hydraulic chamber with a spring (spring constant = 1600 N/m) attached to the input piston and a rock of mass
Triss [41]

Answer:

\Delta x=245\ mm

Explanation:

Given:

  • spring constant of the spring attached to the input piston, k=1600\ N.m^{-1}
  • mass subjected to the output plunger, m=40\ kg

<u>Now, the force due to the mass:</u>

F=m.g

F=40\times 9.8

F=392\ N

<u>Compression in Spring:</u>

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}

\Delta x=\frac{392}{1600}

\Delta x=0.245\ m

or

\Delta x=245\ mm

A ball of mass 2.0 kg falls vertically and hits the ground with speed 7.0 ms-1 as shown below.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

8.0 Ns

Explanation:

Change in momentum is given as:

Final momentum - Initial momentum

= m*v - m*u

Where m = mass of ball

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Change in momentum = (2.0 * 3.0) - (2.0 * 7.0)

= 6.0 - 14.0 = -8.0 Ns

The magnitude will be |-8.0| = 8.0 Ns
