prohojiy [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

2. A compression wave, like sound, is a kind of <u>mechanical</u> wave.

3. When a wave reflects off a surface, the angle of <u>incidence</u> always equals the angle of <u>reflection</u>.

4. The wailing change of the pitch that you hear as a locomotive approaches and then recedes from you is called <u>Doppler Shift</u>.

The length of an aluminum wire is quadrupled and the radius is doubled. By which factor does the resistance change?
erik [133]
The resistance of a conductive wire is given by:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where
\rho is the material resistivity
L is the wire length
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

The length of the wire is quadrupled, so if we call L the original length and L' the new length, we can write 
L'=4 L

Similarly, the radius of the wire is doubled (r'=2r), so the new area is
A'= \pi (r')^2 = \pi (2r)^2 = 4 \pi r^2 = 4A

And if we substitute into the equation, we find that the new resistance of the wire is
R'= \frac{\rho L'}{A'}= \frac{\rho (4L)}{4 A'}  =  \frac{\rho L}{A}=R
Therefore, R=R': this means that the resistance of the wire did not change.

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) Height is 4.47 m

(b) Height is 4.37 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Initial velocity of teh ball, v_{o} = 20.0 m/s

Angle made by the ramp, \theta = 22.0^{\circ}

Distance traveled by the ball on the ramp, d = 5.00 m

Now,

(a) At any point on the projectile before attaining maximum height, the velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH

where

H = dsin22^{\circ} = 5sin22^{\circ}

g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ}

v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ}} = 19.06 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}

h = \frac{(19sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.60 m

Height from the ground = 5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.60 = 4.47m

(b) now, considering the coefficient of friction bhetween ramp and the ball, \mu = 0.150:

velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH - \mu gd

v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5

v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5} = 18.7 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}

h = \frac{(18.7sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.50 m

Height from the ground = 5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.50 = 4.37 m

Dropping a stone from a height is work or not?​
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Dropping a stone from a height is work  

Explanation:

Work is the action of a force through a distance.

w = fd

The Earth's gravitational attractive force is pulling the stone to its centre, so the Earth is doing work on the stone.

A scientist is planning an experiment that will include the measurement of temperatures. She wishes to avoid using negative valu
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale that measures the boiling point of water at 212 degrees F and the freezing point at 32 degrees F. The Fahrenheit scale was developed by the German scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724.

In the given scenario, the scientist, who wishes to measure the temperature of her experiment which will expectantly be colder than the point of water, should use the Fahrenheit scale.

So, the correct answer is option C.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The answer is "In this information, Enzo will be confident that if any fertilizer is required only for plants".

Explanation:

The Beans plants were members of the group of legumes. Legume flowering plant under which the roots form nodules. These nodules require a specific bacterium called bacteria, which fix nitrogen. Its bacterium transforms nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil's nitrate. Consequently, for some of its growth, beans do not require fertilizer.
