Sound travels through solids the fastest

Hope it helps...

sound travels faster through solid objects because a solid objects particles are packed together so the sound particles can bump with them easily to create sound. in air it needs to find a particle to bump with which is much more harder but with a solid its easier.

A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

32s

Explanation:

We must establish that by the time the police car catches up to the speeder, both have travelled a certain distance during the same amount of time. However, the police car experiences accelerated motion whereas the speeder travels at a constant velocity. Therefore we will establish two formulas for distance starting with the speeder's distance:

x=vt=23.3\frac{m}{s}t

and the police car distance:

x=vt+\frac{at^{2}}{2}=0+\frac{2.75\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}=0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Since they both travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

0 = 0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}-23.3\frac{m}{s} t\\\\0=t(0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-23.3\frac{m}{s} )\\\\

Two solutions exist to the equation; the first one being t=0

The second solution will be:

0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t=23.3\frac{m}{s}\\\\t=\frac{23.3\frac{m}{s}}{0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=32s

This result allows us to confirm that the police car will take 32s to catch up to the speeder

A 4 kg textbook sits on a desk. It is pushed horizontally with a 50 N applied force against a 15 N frictional force.
GarryVolchara [31]

a) See free-body diagram in attachment

b) The book is stationary in the vertical direction

c) The net horizontal force is 35 N in the forward direction

d) The net force on the book is 35 N in the forward horizontal direction

e) The acceleration is 8.75 m/s^2 in the forward direction

Explanation:

a)

The free-body diagram of a body represents all the forces acting on the body using arrows, where the length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force and points in the same direction.

From the diagram of this book, we see there are 4 forces acting on the book:

- The applied force, F = 50 N, pushing forward in the horizontal direction

- The frictional force, F_f = 15 N, pulling backward in the horizontal direction (the frictional force always acts in the direction opposite to the motion)

- The weight of the book, W=mg, where m is the mass of the book and g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity, acting downward. We can calculate its magnitude using the mass of the book, m = 4 kg:

W=(4)(9.8)=39.2 N

- The normal reaction exerted by the desk on the book, N, acting upward, and balancing the weight of the book

b)

The book is in equilibrium in the vertical direction, therefore there is no motion.

In fact, the magnitude of the normal reaction (N) exerted by the desk on the book is exactly equal to the weight of the book (W), so the equation of motion along the vertical direction is

N-W=ma

where a is the acceleration; however, since N = W, this becomes

a=0

And since the book is initially at rest on the desk, this means that there is no motion.

c)

We said there are two forces acting in the horizontal direction:

- The applied force, F = 50 N, forward

- The frictional force, F_f = 15 N, backward

Since they act along the same line, we can calculate their resultant as

\sum F = F - F_f = 50 - 15 = 35 N

and therefore the net force is 35 N in the forward direction.

d)

The net force is obtained as the resultant  of the net forces in the horizontal and vertical direction. However, we have:

- The net force in the horizontal direction is 35 N

- The net force in the vertical direction is zero, because the weight is balanced by the normal reaction

Therefore, this means that the total net force acting on the book is just the net force acting on the horizontal direction, so 35 N forward.

e)

The acceleration of the book can be calculated by using Newton's second law:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

Here we have:

\sum F = 35 N (in the forward direction)

m = 4 kg

Therefore, the acceleration is

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{35}{4}=8.75 m/s^2 (forward)
