A prism is made from transparent plastic. In this plastic, light travels at 0.8

Which of the following statements is an accurate description of sound transmission through various mediums?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer: The accurate statement which describes the transmission of sound through various medium is D.

Explanation:

Sound is longitudinal wave in which the vibration of particles travels parallel to the propagation of the motion of the wave. It requires a medium to travel. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

Sound insulator prevents the sound to travel for example plastic, wood etc. Sound travels faster in solid medium than in liquid medium. Sound travels faster in liquid than in gas. Less elastic material absorbs sound for example paper in compare to inelastic material.

Therefore, the accurate statement which describes the transmission of sound through various medium is "Sound insulators prevent sound from being transmitted better than elastic solids.

What are the basic si units for the wavelength of light?

noname [10]

Answer:

Meter (m)

Explanation:

The wavelenght of a light wave is a measure of the distance between two successive crests (or two successive troughs) of a light wave.

Since the SI units for the distance is the meter (m), then the SI unit for the wavelength is also the meter (m).

Wavelength is related to the frequency of the light wave by:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$

where

c is the speed of light

f is the frequency of the light

If you drop a bouncing ball from a height of 40 centimeters, explain why it can only bounce back up to a height of less than 40

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Due to energy loss while collision ball will not reach to same height while if there is no energy loss then in that case ball will reach to same height

Explanation:

As we know that initially ball is held at height h = 40 cm

So here we can say that kinetic energy of the ball is zero and potential energy is given as

$U = mgH$

now when strike with the ground then its its fraction of kinetic energy is lost in form of other energies

So the ball will left rebound with smaller energy and hence it will reach to height less than the initial height

While if we assume that there is no energy loss during collision then in that case ball will reach to same height again

An object moving in circular motion has a mass of 15 kg and a centripetal acceleration of 10 m/s2. What is the centripetal force

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

1) A

2) C

3) B

4) A

5) Incomplete information(picture missing)

6) Incomplete information(picture missing)

7) Incomplete information(picture missing)

8) A

9) C

10) C

Explanation:

1) m = 15kg, a = $10ms^{-2}$ , F = ma = 15*10 = 150N

2) m = 3kg, v = $4ms^{-1}$ , r = 4m, F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

$\frac{3*4^{2} }{4}$ = 12N

3) a = $10ms^{-2}$ , r = 10m, v=?

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$ and F = ma

equating the two equations and cancelling a, we have:

$\frac{v^{2} }{r}$ = a

making v the subject of formula, we have:

v = $\sqrt{ar}$

= $\sqrt{100}$

= 10 $ms^{-1}$

4) r = 10m, v = $5ms^{-1}$ , a = ?

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

F = ma

equating the above equations and making a subject of formula, we get:

a = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

a = 25/10 = 2.5 $ms^{-2}$

5) I can't find the picture associated with this question

6) I can't find the picture associated with this question

7) I can't find the picture associated with this question

8) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = $v^{2}$

Now, if v is tripled

F = $(3v)^{2}$

F = 9 $v^{2}$

We can see that the force will be 9X greater than it was.

9) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = $v^{2}$

Now, if v is doubled

F = $(2v)^{2}$

F = 4 $v^{2}$

We can see that the force will be 4X greater than it was.

10) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and v is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively

F = 1/r

if r is doubled,

F = 1/2 * 1/r

We can see that the force is 1/2 as big as it was
