Answer:

D) Vibrate

Explanation:

Waves is the disturbance that propagate energy through the medium. So here if we will say that sound waves are produced then in that case we need some disturbance which will carry the sound energy through the medium.

Here this disturbance is created by the vibration of medium particles so in order to produce sound we need to vibrate the medium.

Due to the vibration of medium it will transfer energy to the air particles and then due to this vibration of air molecules this is transferred to the receiver of the sound energy

So correct answer will be

D) Vibrate

The answer is D) vibrate. vibrations are what cause sound. Consequently, this is why there is no sound in space, because there is no medium for the for which sound to travel

A ball rolls across a floor with an acceleration of 0.100 m/s2 in a direction opposite to its velocity. The ball has a velocity

Westkost [7]

Answer:

4.15 m/s

Explanation:

Its given that acceleration is 0.1 m/s² with a direction opposite to the velocity. Since, the direction of acceleration is opposite to the velocity, this gives us a hint that the velocity is decreasing and so acceleration would be negative.

i.e.

acceleration = a = - 0.1 m/s²

Distance covered = S = 6m

Velocity after covering 6 meters = Final velocity = $v_{f}$ = 4 m/s

We need to find the initial speed, which will be the same as the magnitude of initial velocity.

Initial velocity = $v_{i}$ = ?

3rd equation of motion relates the acceleration, distance, final velocity and initial velocity as:

$2aS = (v_{f})^{2}-(v_{i})^{2}$

Using the known values in the formula, we get:

$2(-0.1)(6)=(4)^{2}- (v_{i})^{2}\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=16+1.2\\\\ (v_{i})^{2}=17.2\\\\ v_{i}=4.15$

Thus, the initial speed of the ball was 4.15 m/s

An electron of mass 9.11x10^-31 kg has an initial speed of 2.40x10^5 m/s. It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: A) Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

B) force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).

Explanation: mass of electronic charge = 9.11*10^-31kg

v = final velocity = 6.80*10^5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 2.40 * 10^5 m/s

S= distance covered = 4.8cm = 0.048m

a = acceleration

Since the acceleration of the electron is assumed to be constant, newton's laws of motion are valid.

Thus, recall that

v² = u² + 2aS

(6.80*10^5)² = ( 2.40*10^5)² + 2*a( 0.048)

46.24 * 10^10 = 5.76 * 10^10 + 0.096a

46.24 *10^10 - 5.76* 10^10 = 0.096a

40.48* 10^10 = 0.096a

a = 40.48 * 10^10/0.096

a = 4.2167*10^12m/s².

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 9.11*10^-31 * 4.2167*10^12

Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

Weight =Fg= mg where g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8m/s²

Fg= 9.11*10^-31 * 9.8

Fg = 8.9278* 10^-30 N

By comparing the force and the weight, we have that

F/Fg = 3.841 * 10^-18/8.9278 * 10^-30 = 4.30* 10^12.

This implies that the force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).

I don’t understand how to do this

anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

A) Use Hooke's law to find the spring constant.

F = kx

40 N = k (0.4 m)

k = 100 N/m

B) Period of a spring-mass system is:

T = 2π √(m / k)

T = 2π √(2.6 kg / 100 N/m)

T = 1 s

Frequency is the inverse of period.

f = 1 / T

f = 1 Hz
