Answer:

I think it's C!

Explanation:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your eardrum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

Hope this helps!

A boy throws a ball vertically up it returns the ground after 10 seconds find the maximum height reached by the ball

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Approximately $122.625\; {\rm m}$ (assuming that $g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ , the ball was launched from ground level, and that the drag on the ball is negligible.)

Explanation:

Let $v_{0}$ denote the velocity at which the ball was thrown upward.

If the drag (air friction) on the ball is negligible, the ball would land with a velocity of exactly $(-v_{0})$ . The velocity of the ball would be changed from $v$ to $(-v_{0})\!$ (such that $\Delta v = (-v_{0}) - v_{0} = (-2\, v_{0})$ ) within $t = 10\; {\rm s}$ .

Also because the drag on the ball is negligible, the acceleration of the ball would be $a = -g = -9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ . Thus:

$\Delta v = a\, t = 10\; {\rm s} \times (-9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}) = -98.1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Since $\Delta v = (-2\, v_{0})$ :

$-2\, v_{0} = \Delta v = -98.1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

$\begin{aligned}v_{0} &= \frac{-98.1\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{-2}= 49.05\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

The ball reaches maximum height when its velocity is $v_{1} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ . Apply the SUVAT equation $x = ({v_{1}}^{2} - {v_{0}}^{2}) / (2\, a)$ to find the displacement $x$ between the original position (ground level, where $v_{0} = 49.05\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ ) and the max-height position of the ball (where $v_{1} = 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ .)

$\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{(0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})^{2} - (49.05\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})^{2}}{2 \times (-9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}})} \\ &\approx 122.625\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

An elevator carrying a person of mass m is moving upward and slowing down. How does the magnitude f of the force exerted on the

V125BC [204]

The force f of the elevator on the man keeps reducing as the elevator keeps going up while the gravitational force mg keeps increasing moving upwards.

<h3>What is an elevator?</h3>

An elevator is an electrical device that lifts people up and down a tall building or structure.

for the elevator to go up, f > mg.

for the elevator to come down mg > f.

Analysis

since the force on the man is f = ma

where a is the acceleration of the elevator, then it means when a increases, f will increase and when it decreases, f would decrease. slowing down means a, is decreasing going up and this reduces the force as the elevator keeps going up.

on the other hand, gravity acts faster on bodies that are slower in motion so since g, increases going up, mg would also increase.
