Answer:

A 20 Hz sound wave is 75 m long in the water (1500/20 = 75) whereas a 20 Hz sound wave in air is only 17 m long (340/20 = 17) in air. As we descend below the surface of the sea, the speed of sound decreases with decreasing temperature.

. A water balloon is thrown horizontally at a speed of 2.00 m/s from the roof of a building that is 6.00m above the ground. At t
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height of building

H = 6m

Horizontal speed of first balloon

U1x = 2m/s

Second ballot is thrown straight downward at a speed of

U2y = 2m/s

Time each gallon hits the ground

Balloon 1.

Using equation of free fall

H = Uoy•t + ½gt²

Uox = 0 since the body does not have vertical component of velocity

6 = ½ × 9.8t²

6 = 4.9t²

t² = 6 / 4.9

t² = 1.224

t = √1.224

t = 1.11 seconds

For second balloon

H = Uoy•t + ½gt²

6 = 2t + ½ × 9.8t²

6 = 2t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 2t —6 = 0

Using formula method to solve the quadratic equation

Check attachment

From the solution we see that,

t = 0.9211 and t = -1.329

We will discard the negative value of time since time can't be negative here

So the second balloon get to the ground after t ≈ 0.92 seconds

Conclusion

The water ballon that was thrown straight down at 2.00 m/s hits the ground first by 1.11 s - 0.92s = 0.19 s.

If jack was traveling at 100 miles in 2 hours what was his velocity in miles per second​
arsen [322]

1 hour is 3600 seconds. In 2 hours, it would be 7200 seconds.  Divide the amount of miles by seconds. 100/7200=.01388..

The space probe Deep Space 1 was launched on October 24th, 1998 and it used a type of engine called an ion propulsion drive. An
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of probe m = 474 Kg

initial speed u = 275 m /s

force acting on it F = 5.6 x 10⁻² N

displacement s = 2.42 x 10⁹ m

A )

initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m u²  , m is mass of probe.

= .5 x 474 x 275²

= 17923125 J  

B )

work done by engine

= force x displacement

= 5.6 x 10⁻² x 2.42 x 10⁹

= 13.55 x 10⁷ J  

C ) Final kinetic energy

= Initial K E + work done by force on it

= 17923125 +13.55 x 10⁷

= 1.79 x 10⁷ + 13.55 x 10⁷

= 15.34 x 10⁷ J

D ) If v be its velocity

1/2 m v² = 15.34 x 10⁷

1/2 x 474 x v² =  15.34 x 10⁷

v² = 64.72 x 10⁴

v = 8.04 x 10² m /s

= 804 m /s
