Sound waves need different media in order to travel. This travels by the movement of the atom transferred to another up to its destination. The speed of sound is greatest in solids since the molecules of solid are closely packed together, followed by liquid and they are slowest in gases.

In which of these scenarios would the sound of a drumstick hitting a metal bar get to you in the least amount of time?explain ur
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Scenario 1 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The sound of the drumstick hitting the metal bar will get to me in a shorter amount of time in Scenario 1 . The sound wave will travel faster in the metal bar than through the air because the speed of sound waves in solid is faster than it is in gases.

In a nuclear fusion reaction two 2H atoms are combined to produce one 4He.
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

a)= 0.025602u

b) = 23.848MeV

c) N = 1.546 × 10¹³

Explanation:

The reaction is

²₁H   +   ²₁H   ⇄   ⁴₂H + Q

a) The mass difference is

Δm = 2m(²₁H) - m (⁴₂H)

       = 2(2.014102u) - 4.002602u

        = 0.025602u

b) Use the Einstein mass energy relation ship

The enegy  release is the mass difference times 931.5MeV/U

E = (0.025602) (931.5)

   = 23.848MeV

c)

the number of reaction need per seconds is

N = Q/E

     = 59W/ 23.848MeV

  = \frac{59}{(23.848 \times 10^6 )(1.6 \times 10^1^9) } \\\\= 1.546 \times 10^1^3

N = 1.546 × 10¹³

The pulley system below uses a gasoline engine to raise a drill head up through a smooth drill pipe. The engine provides a const
polet [3.4K]

NB: The diagram of the pulley system is not shown but the information provided is sufficient to answer the question

Answer:

Power = 2702.56 W

Explanation:

Let the power consumed be P

Energy expended = E = mgh

height, h = 5 m

E = 80 * 9.8 * 5

E = 3920 J

Power = \frac{Energy}{time}

To calculate the time, t

From F = ma

F = 900 N

900 = 80 a

a = 900/80

a = 11.25 m/s²

From the equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5at^{2}

The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

5 = 0 * t + (0.5*11.25*t^{2} )\\5 = 5.625t^{2}\\t^{2} = 5/5.625\\t^{2} = 0.889\\t = 0.943 s

Power, P = E/t

P = 3920/0.0.943

P = 4157.79 W

But Efficiency, E = 0.65

P = 0.65 * 4157.79

Power = 2702.56 W

how does the size of objects impact the pull of gravity between Earth and a baseball thrown into the air
Reil [10]
it's how much it weighs and how much force is pushing on it like a egg if i drop it the weigh can cause it to break and how much force the gravity is pushing on it.

(I) A novice skier, starting from rest, slides down an icy frictionless 8.0° incline whose vertical height is 105 m. How fast is
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

v = 45.37 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

angle of inclination = 8.0°

Vertical height, H  = 105 m

Initial K.E. = 0 J

Initial P.E. = m g H

Final PE = 0 J

Final KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Using Conservation of energy

KE_i + PE_i + KE_f + PE_f

0 + m g H = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0

v = \sqrt{2gH}

v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 105}

v = 45.37 m/s

Hence, speed of the skier at the bottom is equal to v = 45.37 m/s
