Answer:

t = 0.196 s

Explanation:

The speed of a pulse is determined by the characteristics of the medium, its density and its resistance to stress, as long as these remain the speed will be constant for which we can use the kinetic expressions of the uniform movement

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

calculate

          t = 2/102

          t = 0.196 s

List two fossil fuels. Describe in general how fossil fuels were formed.
stealth61 [152]
Coal and oil.... Fossil fuel is formed from decaying plants/animals who were buried and eventually converted to crude oil, gas by the exposure to heat and the pressure of the earths crust. This takes about 1 million years to happen.

Two pendulum bobs have equal masses and lengths (8.100 m). bob a is initially held horizontally while bob b hangs vertically at
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Since both hv same mass and elsstic collision, so their velocity will exchange. Bob A will stop and bob B will move with speed of A just before the collision.

Speed will be = squreroot ( 2*g*L)

L is length of pendulum

What is the radius of a communications satellite’s orbital path that is in a uniform circular orbit around Earth and has a perio
pantera1 [17]
If the period of a satellite is T=24 h = 86400 s that means it is in geostationary orbit around Earth. That means that the force of gravity Fg and the centripetal force Fcp are equal:

Fg=Fcp

m*g=m*(v²/R),
 
where m is mass, v is the velocity of the satelite and R is the height of the satellite and g=G*(M/r²), where G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance from the satellite. 

Masses cancel out and we have:

G*(M/r²)=v²/R, R=r so:

G*(M/r)=v²

r=G*(M/v²), since v=ωr it means v²=ω²r² and we plug it in,

r=G*(M/ω²r²),

r³=G*(M/ω²), ω=2π/T, it means ω²=4π²/T² and we plug that in:

r³=G*(M/(4π²/T²)), and finally we take the third root to get r:

r=∛{(G*M*T²)/(4π²)}=4.226*10^7 m= 42 260 km which is the height of a geostationary satellite.

Does water transmit light
liq [111]
While the answer is that it does, it transmits light VERY poorly. Most of the light bounces off it and the rest is refracted into the ocean. This is why you can't see much that is far away from you in the ocean unlike if you're just on land.
