We can block light by placing obstacles in its path, but it’s much more difficult to block sound. Why?

It's harder to block sound because sound waves and transverse waves, causing the sound to bounce off objects. This isn't the same with light. Hope that helps.

All we have to do is focus on what you want to hear and you can tell your mind to block everything out and its very easy to block light than noise all you have to do is focus

26. Keenan found the mass of a book to be 4.56*10^ -2 kg . What is the mass of the book in milligrams?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Taking into account the rule of three for the change of units, the mass of the book is 45600 miligrams.

First of all, the rule of three is a mathematical tool that helps you quickly solve proportionality problems.

Having three known values and one unknown, a proportional relationship is established between all of them in order to find the fourth term of the proportion.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases, so does the other; or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the rule of three is applied as follows, where a, b and c are known values and x is the unknown to calculate:

a → b

c → x

So: $x=\frac{cxb}{a}$

Being 1 kg equivalent to 1000000 milligrams, In this case the rule of three is applied as follows: if 1 kg equals 1000000 milligrams, 4.56×10⁻² kg equals how many milligrams?

1 kg → 1000000 milligrams

4.56×10⁻² kg → x

So:

$x=\frac{4.56x10^{-2} kg x1000000 miligrams }{1 kg}$

<u><em>x=45600 miligrams</em></u>

In summary, the mass of the book is 45600 miligrams.

Calculate the acceleration of a 270000-kg jumbo jet just before takeoff when the thrust on the aircraft is 160000 N .

Radda [10]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.59 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{160000}{270000} = \frac{16}{27} \\ = 0.592592...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

This question is related to inertia:

luda_lava [24]

The way I do it is suddenly, in the same sort of way that magicians try to pull a table cloth off a table when there's things on the table cloth.The sudden approach acts as an impulse of force and starts to accelerate the roll. But, the piece (assuming it has perforations) is off the roll before the roll can move, due to inertia. Then the roll will acclerate, move, slow down and stop. However, in accelerating, the roll will unravel. The bigger the impulse the more it will unravel.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++If on the other hand, the piece of paper is held firmly, and the roll is pulled, then the impulse is presumably given to the paper and the hand whose inertia is a lot more than that of the roll. So, I think I'd actually go for choice c)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This assumes that the roll is free to rotate.I think that a similar idea is behind the design and use of a "ballistic galvanometer". The charge is passed through the galvanometer quickly, as a current pulse. Then the needle starts to deflect, and the deflection is arranged to depend on the total charge that has passed through in the time of the current pulse.
