Answer:

the answer is the 4th one. the speed of sound is lowest in gas and highest in solid and its because the molecules in solid is closer to each other than the molecules in gas and when the molecules are close to each other, they allow the waves of the sound to travel more quickly.

The number of protons equals the atomic number. TRUE OR FALSE?

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

A key falls from a bridge that is 45 m above the water. the key falls straight down and lands in a model boat traveling at a con

erastova [34]

Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion

$h = ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2.$ .

Take initial velocity, u=0, so

$h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ .

$h = 0\times t + \frac{1}{2}g t^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\\ t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$

As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula

$d= v \times t$

From above substituting t,

$d = v \times \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$ .

Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get

$d = 3.5 \ m/s \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 45 m}{9.8 m/s^2} } = 10.60 m$ .

Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.

The radius of Saturn is about 10 times the radius of Venus and the mass is about 100 times that of Venus. How much larger is the

lora16 [44]

let the mass of Venus is M then mass of Saturn is 100 M

similarly if the radius of Venus is R then the radius of Saturn is 10 R

now the force of gravity on a man of mass "m" at the surface of Venus is given by

$F_1 = \frac{GMm}{R^2}$

now similarly the gravitational force on the man if he is at the surface of Saturn

$F_2 = \frac{G*100M*m}{(10R)^2}$

$F_2 = \frac{GMm}{R^2}$

so here if we divide the two forces

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 1$

so here we can say

F1 = F2

so on both planets the gravitational force will be same
