Would sound travel faster at the north pole or in the sahara desert? Explain ur answer

Physics
1 answer:
gtnhenbr [62]3 years ago
6 0

Sound needs a medium to propagate through and this medium which is moves through is the air. The colder the temperature is, the less excited (meaning kinetic energy) the air particles will be meaning that the sound wave will travel slower. In the sahara desert, since the temperatures are warmer, and more excited, the sound will propagate faster through the air.

*Note that sound waves rely on vibration to move and if the air is hotter the molecules in the air are vibrate more than compared to lower temperatures.

2) A traffic light of weight 100 N is supported by two ropes as shown. Let T1 and T2 are the tensions.
GarryVolchara [31]

Hi there!

a.

We know that:

\Sigma F_y = 0 \\\\\Sigma F_x = 0

Begin by determining the forces in the vertical direction:

W = weight of traffic light

T₁sinθ = vertical component of T₁

T₂sinθ = vertical component of T₂

b.

The ropes provide a horizontal force:

T₁cosθ = Horizontal component of T1

T₂cosθ = Horizontal component of T2

Thus:

0 = T₁cosθ  - T₂cosθ

T₁cosθ = T₂cosθ

T₁ = T₂

c.

Since the angles for both ropes are the same, we can say that:

T₁ = T₂

Sum the forces:

ΣFy = T₁sinθ + T₁sinθ - W = 0

2T₁sinθ = W

d.

Now, we can begin by solving for the tensions:

2T₁sinθ = W

T_1 = T_2 =  \frac{W}{2sin\theta} = \frac{100}{2sin(37)} = \boxed{83.08 N}

What is the acceleration of a car that goes from 0 MS to 60 MS and six seconds
Len [333]
A = Δv/Δt
a = v2-v1/t2-t1
a = 60MS - 0MS / 6 seconds
a = 60 MS/ 6 seconds
a = 10 m/s^2

Write at least 4 to 5 sentences on the different measurements that helped to calculate the speed of light. There are 3 specific
iren [92.7K]
The first experiment that was made to attempt to measure the speed of light involved detonating gunpowder by Isaac Beeckman. He declared that his experiment was inconclusive. Galileo also tried to measure the speed of light using two lanterns placed across each other. The next experiment involved planets where Ole Romer based his calculation on its movements. The final calculations were derived from different theories by different scientists including Maxwell until it ended up with the exact value for the speed of light.
