The surface of the planets can explain the dynamics of planetary interiors (for example, how often volcanoes erupt or how often earthquakes occur). In order to see how much the surface has changed over time the age of the surface should be obtained. Scientists can estimate the age of a planetary surface by counting craters. The logic is that t<span>he largest bodies (the ones that would form the largest craters) were used up before the smaller ones, since there were fewer of the larger ones to start with. So the larger a crater is, the older the planet surface.</span>

A rock is dropped off a cliff and falls the first half of the distance to the ground in 2.0 seconds. how long will it take to fa

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer is 0.83 seconds.

Explanation:

The formula of free fall is following:

$h=1/2*g*t^2$

Where g=9.8 m/s^2 and t=2 seconds, the rock takes:

$h=1/2*9.8*2^2=19.6$

19.6 meters. This is the half distance of the cliff. The whole distance is 39.2 meters. So it takes:

$39.2=1/2*9.8*t^2\\t^2=8\\t=2.83$

2.83 second to fall down completely. The rock takes the second half of the cliff in 0.83 seconds

If the wave represents a sound wave, explain how increasing amplitude will affect the loudness of the sound? If we decrease the

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Think of a sound wave like a wave on the ocean, or lake... It's not really water moving, as much as it's energy moving through the water. Ever see something floating on the water, and notice that it doesn't come in with the wave, but rides over the top and back down into the trough between them? Sound waves are very similar to that. If you looked at a subwoofer speaker being driven at say... 50 cycles a second, you'd actually be able to see the speaker cone moving back and forth. The more power you feed into the speaker, the more it moves back and forth, not more quickly, as that would be a higher frequency, but further in and further out, still at 50 cycles per second. Every time it pushed out, it's compressing the air in front of it... the compressed air moves away from the speaker's cone, but not as a breeze or wind, but as a wave through the air, similar to a wave on the ocean

More power, more amplitude, bigger "wave", louder ( to the human ear) sound.

If you had a big speaker ( subwoofer ) and ran a low frequency signal with enough power in it, you could hold a piece of paper in front of it, and see the piece of paper move in and out at exactly the same frequency as the speaker cone. The farther away from the speaker you got, the less it'd move as the energy of the sound wave dispersed through the room.

Sound is a wave

We hear because our eardrums resonates with this wave I.e. our ear drums will vibrate with the same frequency and amplitude. which is converted to an electrical signal and processed by our brain.

By increasing the amplitude our eardrums also vibrate with a higher amplitude which we experience as a louder sound.

Of course when this amplitude is too high the resulting resonance tears our eardrums so that they can't resonate with the sound wave I.e. we become deaf

022 (part 1 of 4) 10.0 points A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 24.5 m/s. How high does it rise? The accelerati

svetoff [14.1K]

1)

Answer:

Part 1)

H = 30.6 m

Part 2)

t = 2.5 s

Part 3)

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

$v_f = 24.5 m/s$

Explanation:

Part 1)

initial speed of the ball upwards

$v_i = 24.5 m/s$

so maximum height of the ball is given by

$H = \frac{v_i^2}{2g}$

$H = \frac{24.5^2}{2(9.80)}$

$H = 30.6 m$

Part 2)

As we know that final speed will be zero at maximum height

so we will have

$v_f - v_i = at$

$0 - 24.5 = (-9.8)t$

$t = 2.5 s$

Part 3)

Since the time of ascent of ball is same as time of decent of the ball

so here ball will same time to hit the ground back

so here it is given as

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

since the acceleration due to earth will be same during its return path as well as the time of the motion is also same

so here its final speed will be same as that of initial speed

so we have

$v_f = 24.5 m/s$

2)

Answer:

a = 9.76 m/s/s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is released from rest

so the displacement of the object in vertical direction is given as

$y = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$4.88 = \frac{1}{2}a(1^2)$

$a = 9.76 m/s^2$

3)

Answer:

v = 29.7 m/s

Explanation:

acceleration of the rocket is given as

$a = 90 m/s^2$

time taken by the rocket

t = 0.33 min

final speed of the rocket is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 0 + (90)(0.33)$

$v_f = 29.7 m/s$

4)

Answer:

Part 1)

y = 25.95 m

Part 2)

d = 6.72 m

Explanation:

Part 1)

As it took t = 2.3 s to hit the water surface

so here we will have

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2.3^2)$

$y = 25.95 m$

Part 2)

Distance traveled by it in horizontal direction is given as

$d = v_x t$

$d = 2.92 \times 2.3$

$d = 6.72 m$

Why do deer depend on plants to survive

jarptica [38.1K]

Deer depend on plants to survive because they are herbivores. Herbivores are animals that only eats plants and fruits in order to survive. Deer's meal includes grass and evergreen plants. If grass is unavailable, they eat whatever food like fallen leaves, twigs, bushes and other woody plants.
