Why do sound waves travel around corners better than light waves? Soundwaves

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your ear drum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

what will be the gravitational force between two bodies if the mass of each is doubled and the distance between them is halved?

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Gravitational force will be 16 times more.

Explanation:

we know;

Gravitational force (F) = (Gm1m2)/d^2

when mass of each is doubled and distance between them is halved;

F= (G2m1×2m2)/(d/2)^2

=(4Gm1m2)/(d^2/4)

=4×4(Gm1m2)/d^2

=16(Gm1m2)/d^2

=16F

A 2 kg ball of clay moving at 35 m/s strikes a 10 kg box initially at rest. What is the velocity of the box after the collision?

Ainat [17]

Answer:

V = 5.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball of a clay, m = 2 kg

Initial speed of the clay, u = 35 m/s

Mass of a box, m' = 10 kg

Initially, the box was at rest, u' = 0

We need to find the velocity of the box after the collision. Let V be the common speed. Using the conservation of momentum to find it.

$mu+m'u'=(m+m')V\\\\V=\dfrac{mu+m'u'}{(m+m')}\\\\V=\dfrac{2\times 35+10\times 0}{2+10}\\\\V=5.83\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the box after the collision is equal to 5.83 m/s.
