A sound wave traveling eastward through air

Physics

Sholpan [36]3 years ago

Answer : A sound wave traveling eastward through air causes the air molecules to vibrate east and west

Explanation :

We know that the sound wave is a longitudinal wave. The particles of medium travels in the direction of propagation of the wave. The space where the particles are closely spaced is called compression and the space where the particles are far apart is called rarefaction. Also, the distance between two consecutive compression and rarefaction is called the wavelength.

If the sound wave is travelling in eastward direction, then the air molecules will move in the direction of propagation of wave. They will vibrate either in east or west direction.  

So, the correct option is (1) " vibrate east and west ".

A ball is thrown vertically downwards with a speed 7.3 m/s from the top of a 51 m tall building. With what speed will it hit the
ddd [48]

Answer:

32.46m/s

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this exercise we must be clear that the ball moves with constant acceleration with the value of gravity = 9.81m / S ^ 2

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are the follow

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =7.3m/S

A = g=acceleration =9.81m/s^2

X = displacement =51m}

solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{Vo^2+2gX}\\Vf=\sqrt{7.3^2+2(9.81)(51)}=32.46m/s

the speed with the ball hits the ground is 32.46m/s

g A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet. The planet has the same mass as Earth but has
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

gravitational acceleration of meteoroid

=  GM / R²

M is mass of planet , R is radius of orbit of meteoroid from the Centre of the planet .

R = (.9 x 6370 + 600 )x 10³ m

= 6333 x 10³ m

M , mass of the planet = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg .

gravitational acceleration of meteoroid

=  GM / R²

=  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg  / (6333 x 10³ m)²

9.92m/s²

A box is sitting on a 2 m long board at one end. A worker picks up the board at the end with the box so it makes an angle with t
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the box is on the ramp , component of its weight along the ramp

= mg sinθ

Friction force acting on it in upward direction

=μ mg cosθ

For sliding

μ mg cosθ < mg sinθ

μ cosθ < sinθ

.5 x cos35 < sin35

.41 < .57

So the box will slide

When sliding starts , kinetic friction acts

Net force in downward direction

mgsinθ - μ mg cosθ

acceleration

= gsinθ - μ g cosθ

= 5.62 - .3 x 9.8 x cos35

= 5.62 - 2.4

= 3.22 m /s²

Why dont streams flow horizontal
mylen [45]

Answer:

because

Explanation:

streasm dont flow horizontal because if it did then that would be breaking all laws of physics and we know that what goes up must com down but water cant flow upstream only down if it does flow horizontally then it would either be between two hills or in a plains

Is it possible for the momentum of a system consisting of two carts on a low-friction track to be zero even if both carts are mo
choli [55]

Answer:

Yes, if the two carts are moving into opposite directions

Explanation:

The total momentum of the system of two carts is given by:

p=m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2

where

m1, m2 are the masses of the two carts

v1, v2 are the velocities of the two carts

Let's remind that v (the velocity) is a vector, so its sign depends on the direction in which the cart is moving.

We want to know if it is possible that the total momentum of the system can be zero, so it must be:

p=0\\m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 = 0\\m_1 v_1 = -m_2 v_2

From this equation, we see that this condition can only occur if v1 and v2 have opposite signs. Opposite signs mean opposite directions: therefore, the total momentum can be zero if the two carts are moving into opposite directions.
