The sound wave causes distortion of a medium. The sound wave is formed from the reflections of the sound waves from surrounding material. So, the sound that we hear in a room is a combination of the original sound and its reflections off of the various surfaces in the room.

Answer:

Explanation:

OOf we are doing this stuff atm

So if its faster at the front and slow at the back you can tell that its not slowing down because less of a force is there however at the front there is more of a force. Friction is low which means that its not makimg much contact so no sudden change of forces thats also why its B

The amount of energy that must be absorbed or lost to raise or lower the temperature of 1 g of liquid water by 1°c _____.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

4.2 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of a heat required to rise a unit mass of a substance through a temperature of 1 K

From specific heat capacity,

Q = cmΔt.............................. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of energy absorbed or lost, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, Δt = Temperature rise.

Given: m = 1 g = 0.001 kg, Δt = 1 °C

Constant : c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.001×4200(1)

Q = 4.2 J.

Hence the energy absorbed or lost = 4.2 J

How much elastic potential energy is stored in a bungee cord with a spring constant of 10.0 N/m when the cord is stretched 2.00

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

 The elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J

Explanation:

potential energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its position. The S.I unit of energy is Joules. The mathematical expression for elastic potential energy is given below

E = 1/2ke²................ Equation 1

Where E = elastic potential energy of the spring, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension

Given: K = 10 N/m, e = 2.00 m

Substituting these values into Equation 1

E = 1/2(10)(2)²

E = 5×4

E = 20 Joules.

Therefore the elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J
