When Lisa placed a balloon to her ear, she was able to hear what her sister was whispering from the other side of the room. When

she removed the balloon, she was no longer able to hear what her sister was saying. What is the best explanation for what Lisa discovered?
A) The material from which the balloon is made makes sounds seem louder.
B) There is no air pressure inside the balloon, which makes sound waves travel more quickly.
C) The air in the balloon is not as dense as the air outside the balloon, which makes sound waves echo.
D) Sound does not travel around the air outside of the balloon as well as it does through the denser air pressure inside the balloon.

D

Sound travels best in dense air because the molecules are close together than in less dense air.

Explanation:

Because the air is compressed in the balloon, the air molecules inside are closer together than the air molecules outside the balloon. Therefore these molecules inside the balloon can transmit the sound energy effectively. Remember sound waves are made by the transmission of the compression and rarefaction by the air molecules.

This is also the reason why solids are good transmitters of sound waves (and other mechanical waves) than air. The molecules of solids are more closely packed than those of air.

Correct answer is D

Sound does not travel around the air outside of the balloon as well as it does through the denser air pressure inside the balloon. Sound waves travel better through denser material.

A Neglecting air resistance, a ball projected straight upward so it remains in the air for 10 seconds needs an initial speed of
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

For first half,

We need to calculate the height

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2gh

h =\dfrac{v^2}{2g}....(I)

For second half,

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

h =ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2

h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2

t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}

Put the value of h from equation (I)

t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times v^2}{g^2}}

t_{2}=\dfrac{v}{g}

According to question,

t_{1}+t_{2}=10

t_{1}=t_{2}

Put the value of t₁ and t₂

\dfrac{v}{g}+\dfrac{v}{g}=10

\dfrac{2v}{g}=10

v=\dfrac{10\times g}{2}

Here, g = 10

The initial velocity is

v=\dfrac{10\times10}{2}

v=50\ m/s

Hence, The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

Can we use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame​
miv72 [106K]

In theory, yes. The 2 problems are the materials used for clinical thermometers, & the temperature capacity of the clinical thermometer. If anything, change the material & extend the measurement threshold. At that point, it wouldn´t be used for clinical garbage anymore.

A boy pulls a 28.0-kg box with a 230-N force at 35° above a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between t
ddd [48]

Answer:

1977.696 J

Explanation:

Given;

Weight of the box = 28.0 kg

Force applied by the boy = 230 N

angle between the horizontal and the force = 35°

Therefore,

the horizontal component of the force = 230 × cosθ

= 230 × cos 35°

= 188.405 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.24

Force by friction, f = μN

here,

N = Normal force = Mass × acceleration due to gravity

or

N = 28 × 9.81 = 274.68 N

therefore,

f = 0.24 × 274.68

or

f = 65.9232 N

Now,

work done by the boy, W₁ = 188.405 N × Displacement  

= 188.405 N × 30

= 5652.15 J

and,

the

work done by the friction, W₂ = - 65.9232 N × Displacement  

= - 65.9232 N × 30 m

= - 1977.696 J

[ since the friction force acts opposite to the direction of motion, therefore the workdone will be negative]

Chi walked 100 meters in 5 minutes. She took another 15 minutes to walk another 400 meters to reach her house. What is her avera
Law Incorporation [45]

Average speed is the ratio of total distance moved by Chi in total time interval

So here we will have

Total distance = 100 m + 400 m

d = 500 m = 0.5 km

Total time taken = 5 min + 15 min = 20 min

T = \frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3} hour

now by the formula of average speed we know that

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{T}

v_{avg} = \frac{0.5 km}{1/3 h}

v_{avg} = 1.5 km/h

so average speed will be 1.5 km/h
