A sound wave travels in air toward the surface of a freshwater lake and enters into the water. The frequency of the sound does n

ot change when the sound enters the water. The wavelength of the sound is 2.86 m in the air, and the temperature of both the air and the water is 20 degrees C. What is the wavelength in the water

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of sound in air at 20⁰C is 343 m /s

velocity of sound in water at 20⁰C is 1481 m /s

The wavelength of the sound is 2.86 m in the air so its frequency

= 343 / 2.86 = 119.93 .

This frequency of  119.93 will remain unchanged in water .

wavelength in water = velocity in water / frequency

= 1481 / 119.93

= 12. 35 m .

At what speed does a falling hailstone travel? Does the speed depend on the distance that the hailstone falls?
Anton [14]

Answer:The speed if hailstone dependly largely on its size. A hailstone with a diameter of 0.39 inches,falls wit a speed of 20mph while a hailstone with 3.1 inches in diameter falls at a speed of 110mph.

No speed does not depend on the distance that the hailstone falls.

Explanation: There are other factors that affect the speed of the falling hailstone apart from its size.They are:

1. Friction between the air and the hailstone

2. Wind condition( windy or moist air)

3. The rate at which it melts falling.

Why is it that the weight of an object weighing 1N air, weighs more when immersed in water ?
Anni [7]
There is no "why", because that's not what happens.  The truth is
exactly the opposite. 

Whatever the weight of a solid object is in air, that weight will appear
to be LESS when the object is immersed in water.

The object is lifted by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
It displaces the same amount of air or water, and any amount of water
weighs more than the same amount of air.  So the force that lifts the
object in water is greater than the force that lifts it in air, and the object
appears to weigh less in the water.

A 0.810 kg ball falls 2.5m. How much work does the force of gravity do on the ball?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

W = 19.845 J

Explanation:

Work is defined as W = Fdcos\theta, where F is the force exerted and d is the distance. Because the direction the ball is falling is the same direction as the force itself, \theta = 0 deg, and since cos(0) = 1, this equation is equivalent to W = Fd. In this case, the force exerted is the weight force, which is equivalent to m * g. Substituting you get:

W = mgd = 0.810 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.5m

W = 19.845 J

A 120 V potential difference is applied to a space heater that dissipates 674 W during operation. (a) What is its resistance dur
Annette [7]

Answer:

(a) 21.36 ohms

(b) 5.62 A

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Potential difference, V = 120 V

Power, P = 674 W

(a) Power is given as:

P = V²/R

Where R is resistance

=> R = V²/P

R = 120²/674

R = 14400/674

R = 21.36 ohms

(b) Power is also given as:

P = I*V

Where I = Current (time rate of flow of Electric charge)

=> I = P/V

I = 674/120

I = 5.62 A
