What will most likely happen if a sound wave moves from the air through a solid

1 answer:

6 0

Depends on the structural integrity of the solid. We can use a subwoofer speaker for example; technically its a solid that could influence sound waves.

So basically, sound could travel through solids but, you need to know the thickness, mass and density of that solid; in-order to make conclusions.

Copernicus incorrectly assumed that the planets?

hammer [34]

Nicholas Copernicus correctly assumed that the planets revolved around the sun but he incorrectly assumed that the planets followed a perfect circle orbit around the sun. It was later on discovered by Johannes Kepler that the planets moved around the sun following an elliptical orbit.

A pirate ship shoots a cannon towards an oncoming ship. The cannon ball has a mass of 25 kg and the ship has a mass of 2500 kg.

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.

Explanation:

Assume the ship recoil velocity and velocity of the cannon ball aligns. By the law of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved before and after the shooting. Before the shooting, the total momentum is 0 due to system is at rest. Therefore, the total momentum after the shooting must also be 0:

$m_sv_s + m_bv_b = 0$

where $m_s = 2500 kg, m_b = 25 kg$ are masses of the ship and ball respectively. $v_s = 0.25 m/s, v_b$ are the velocities of the ship and ball respectively, after the shooting.

$2500*0.25 + 25*v_b = 0$

$25v_b = -2500*0.25$

$v_b = -2500*0.25/25 = -25 m/s$

So the cannon ball has a velocity of 25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.

That 1.5 kg brick falls to the ground. What is the kinetic energy when the brick is moving at 26 m/s? Formula: Variables: Work w

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

$k = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\$

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$k = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.5 \times {26}^{2} \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.5 \times 676 \\ = 1.5 \times 338 \\ = 507$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Why is gravity so weird? .

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Why is gravity so weird? No force is more familiar than gravity — it's what keeps our feet on the ground, after all. And Einstein's theory of general relativity gives a mathematical formulation for gravity, describing it as a “warping” of space.
