Answer:

air water iron helium

v(m/s) 280 2200 17780 39682

Explanation:

The speed of a wave depends on the physical properties of the medium where it travels, in the case of a longitudinal wave such as sound, it depends on the resistance to deformation (volume modulus and the density of the medium

v = $\sqrt{ \frac{B}{ \rho } }$

in the mentioned materials they are constant

air water iron helium

B 1 10⁵ 2.2 10⁹ 140 10⁹ 0.05 10⁹

ρ 1.28 997 7874 1.26

v(m/s) 280 2200 17780 39682

The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 820 kg and the car is moving 36 m/s, wh

Lelechka [254]

In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:

Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:

$v^2=v^2_o-2ax$

where,

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

vo: initial speed = 36m/s

x: distance traveled = 980m

a: deceleration of the car= ?

Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:

$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v^2_o-v^2}{2x} \\ a=\frac{(36\frac{m}{s})^2-(0\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(980m)}=0.66\frac{m}{s^2} \end{gathered}$

Next, consider that the formula for the force is:

$F=ma$

where,

m: mass of the car = 820 kg

a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2

Replace the previous values and simplify:

$F=(820kg)(0.66\frac{m}{s^2})=542.20N$

Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N

Which describes a feature of the physical changes of all substances?

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

A change in size, shape, or matter.

Explanation:

A physical change does not produce new substances. A physical change may only change the physical properties of a substance. a change in size, shape, or phase of matter.

Rotation of the lever OA is controlled by the motion of the contacting circular disk of radius r = 300 mm whose center is given

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The angular velocity is

5.64rad/s

Explanation:

This problem bothers on curvilinear motion

The angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement it is expressed in rad/s

We know that the velocity v is given as

v= ωr

Where ω is the angular velocity

r is 300mm to meter = 0.3m

the radius of the circle

described by the level

v=1.64m/s

Making ω subject of the formula and solving we have

ω=v/r

ω=1.64/0.3

ω=5.46 rad/s

The atomic mass of an atom do not contain electrons because

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Electrons are so small that it does not affect the mass of atom .

Explanation:

Electrons are much smaller in mass than protons, weighing only 9.11 × 10^-28 grams, or about 1/1800 of an atomic mass unit. Therefore, they do not contribute much to an element's overall atomic mass.
