Why do light waves move faster than sound waves?

Ivenika [448]3 years ago

One ray of light is typically called a photon, and it's an electromagnetic disturbance. Light doesn't need a medium to travel. The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. It's faster through water, and it's even faster through steel.

Why do conductors transfer heat faster than insulators?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Conduction is usually faster in certain solids and liquids than in gases. Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are especially good thermal conductors because they have freely moving electrons that can transfer thermal energy quickly and easily.

Heat transfer by convection happens through the air, and there are millions of minuscule air spaces between the fibers. Heat transfer by radiation is also slow since one fiber must radiate its heat to another.

When we give heat then kinetic energy is increase and this heat is transferred from hot metal to cold metal through this free electrons. As in insulator the free electrons are negligible so that the heat is not transferred from hot junction to cold junction due to absence of this free electrons.

A ball is dropped off the balcony of a hotel room and it takes 2.8s to fall to the ground . how high above the ground is the bal
RideAnS [48]

The height of the ball above the ground is 38.45 m

First we will calculate the velocity of the ball when it touch the ground by using first equation of motion

v=u+gt

v=0+9.81×2.8

v=27.468 m/s

now the height of the ground can be calculated by the formula

v=√2gh

27.468=√2×9.81×h

h=38.45 m

A 25 kg bear slides, from rest, 12 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.6 m/s just before hitting the ground.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

(A) -2940 J

(B) 392 J

(C) 212.33 N

Explanation:

mass of bear (m) = 25 kg

height of the pole (h) = 12 m

speed (v) = 5.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

(A) change in gravitational potential energy (ΔU) = mg(height at the bottom- height at the top)

height at the bottom = 0

         = 25 x 9.8 x (0-12) = -2940 J

(B) kinetic energy of the Bear (KE) = 0.5mv^{2}

           = 0.5 x 25 x 5.6^{2}  = 392 J

(C) average frictional force = \frac{change in thermal energy}{height} = \frac{-(ΔKE+ΔU)}{h}

  • change in KE (ΔKE) = initial KE - final KE
  • ΔKE = 0.5mv^{2} - 0.5mvf^{2}            
  • when the Bear reaches the bottom of the pole, the final velocity (Vf) is 0, therefore the change in kinetic energy becomes  ΔKE = 0.5x25x5.6^{2} - 0 = 392 J

 \frac{-(ΔKE+ΔU)}{h}[/tex] = \frac{-(392 + (-2940))}{12}

=  \frac{(-392 + 2940)}{12} = 212.33 N
