Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases. A student could verify this statement by measuring the time required for sound to travel a set distance through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Mathematically, the speed of a sound is given by the formula:

$Speed = wavelength * frequency$

Generally, the frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound that would be heard.

Diffraction occurs for all types of waves, including sound waves.

A 1.25 x 10-4 C charge is moving5200 m/s at 37.0° to a magnetic fieldof 8.49 x 10-4 T. What is the magneticforce on the charge?

juin [17]

0.0003321 Newtons

Explanation

We are given the charge, its velocity, and the magnetic field strength and direction. We can thus use the equation to find the force

$\begin{gathered} F=qvBsinθ \\ where\text{ F is the magnetic force} \\ q\text{ is the charge} \\ v\text{ is the velocity of the charge} \\ Bis\text{ the magnetic field} \\ \theta\text{ is the angle} \end{gathered}$

Step 1

Let

$\begin{gathered} q=1.25*10^{-4\text{ }}C \\ v=5200\frac{m}{s} \\ \theta=37\text{ \degree} \\ B=8.49*10^{-4}T \end{gathered}$

now, replace

$\begin{gathered} F=qvBs\imaginaryI n\theta \\ F=1.25*10^{-4}\text{ C*5200 }\frac{m}{s}*8.49*10^{-4}Tsin(37) \\ F=0.0003321\text{ Newtons} \\ \end{gathered}$

so, the answer is

0.0003321 Newtons

A car is moving southwest at a velocity of 10 meters per second. Five seconds later, it's going 40 meters per second. What was t

Inga [223]

If "during this time" refers to the 5 second interval mentioned above, then the average acceleration is

$\bar a=\dfrac{v-v_0}{t-t_0}=\dfrac{40\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-10\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{5\,\mathrm s-0\,\mathrm s}$

Notice that we took the start time to be the start of the 5 second interval and set that to $t_0=0$ . The starting velocity $v_0$ is the velocity measured at the start of the interval, and $v$ is the velocity measured at its end.

So the average velocity over these 5 seconds is

$\bar a=\dfrac{30\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{5\,\mathrm s}=6\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

What does it mean when work is positive?

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

When force and displacement are in the same direction, the work performed on an object is said to be positive work. Example: When a body moves on the horizontal surface, force and displacement act in the forward path. The work is done in this case known as Positive work.
