This phenomenon is known as a shock wave. Shock waves are also produced if the aircraft moves faster than the speed of sound. If a moving source of sound moves faster than sound, the source will always be ahead of the waves that it produces.

Q1.
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

P = 450 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a child, m = 18 kg

The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the slide is 2.5 metres.

The Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg

We need to find the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the child sliding from the  top to the bottom of the slide.

The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

P = mgh

Substituting all the values,

P = 18 kg × 10 m/s² × 2.5 m

P = 450 J

Hence, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is 450 J.

Consider the numbers 23.68 and 4.12. The sum of these numbers has ____ significant figures, and the product of these numbers has
damaskus [11]

Answer:multiplying will give us 7 significant figures and addition will give us 3 significant figures

Explanation:

After multiplying the two numbers they resulting value will give a value in its 4 decimal places because both given values are in 2 decimal places. The 4 dp is gotten by the addition of the decimal places of both given numbers (2+2) and

The result of its addition will give us a value in its 1dp and 3 significant figures since the addition of 23.68 and 4.12 will give us 27.8
