Which statement best explains why sound waves cannot travel through space

1 answer:

6 0

The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. If you are sitting in a space ship and another space ship explodes, you would hear nothing. So, in order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it to travel through. On Earth, sound travels to your ears by vibrating air molecules. In deep space, the large empty areas between stars and planets, there are no molecules to vibrate. There is no sound there.

Two rams run toward each other. One ram has a mass of 49 kg and runs west

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the first ram $m_1=49\ kg$

The velocity of this ram is $v_1=-7\ m/s$

Mass of the second ram $m_2=52\ kg$

The velocity of this ram $v_2=9\ m/s$

They combined after the collision

Conserving the momentum

$\Rightarrow m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow 49\times (-7)+52\times (9)=(52+49)v\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{125}{101}\ m/s \quad[\text{east}]$

Momentum after the collision will be

$\Rightarrow 101\times \dfrac{125}{101}=125\ kg-m/s\ \text{East}$

Therefore, option (d) is correct

Must all species reproduce in order for the species to survive?

Airida [17]

ANSWER:

the correct answer is D.Yes; without reproduction, once the living organisms died, there would be no offspring to replace them.

TIP: bc if a species dies and it doesnt reproduce that species will go extinct, and remember every specie plays a role in life (but they are some animals that dont and are just a threat to the world). so reproducing is the only way to keep their generation going!

A baseball is thrown horizontally at a rate of 40m/s toward a home plate 18.4 m away. How far below the launch height is the bal

sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g where

R is the distance moves in horizontal direction = 18.4m

H is the height

U is the velocity of the baseball = 40m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and calculate H as shown;

18.4 = 40√2H/9.8

18.4/40 = √2H/9.8

0.46 = √2H/9.8

square both sides;

(0.46)² = (√2H/9.8)²

0.2116 = 2H/9.8

2H = 9.8*0.2116

2H = 2.07368

H = 2.07368/2

H = 1.03684m

Hence the ball is 1.03684m below the launch height when it reached home plate.

10. A satellites is in a circular orbit around the earth at a height of 360 km above the earth’s surface. What is its time perio

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Orbital speed=8102.39m/s

Time period=2935.98seconds

Explanation:

For the satellite to be in a stable orbit at a height, h, its centripetal acceleration V2R+h must equal the acceleration due to gravity at that distance from the center of the earth g(R2(R+h)2)

V2R+h=g(R2(R+h)2)

V=√g(R2R+h)

V= sqrt(9.8 × (6371000)^2/(6371000+360000)

V= sqrt(9.8× (4.059×10^13/6731000)

V=sqrt(65648789.18)

V= 8102.39m/s

Time period ,T= sqrt(4× pi×R^3)/(G× Mcentral)

T= sqrt(4×3.142×(6.47×10^6)^3/(6.673×10^-11)×(5.98×10^24)

T=sqrt(3.40×10^21)/ (3.99×10^14)

T= sqrt(0.862×10^7)

T= 2935.98seconds
