Answer:

Momentum is directly proportional to velocity. If momentum of an object is doubled , but its mass does not increase (so velocity remains below the speed of light) then its velocity is doubled. If the velocity is doubled, then the kinetic energy increases by four times.

Why is the same side of the Moon always visible from Earth?

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer

The true fact is that C is what happens in outer space. Both rotations take 27.3 days.

A: The exact opposite is true. It does rotate about it's axis.

B: Again this is just plain false. Given the way we observe it, the moon must be rotating around the earth.

D. they don't. 27.3 hours and 24 hours are not the same.

A sound wave with a frequency of 400 Hz is moving through a solid object. If the wavelength of the sound wave is 8 m, what is th

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

v = 3200 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the sound wave is given as

$f = 400 Hz$

wavelength of the sound wave is given as

$\lambda = 8 m$

so now we have

$speed = wavelength \times frequency$

so we will have

$v = (8m) \times (400 Hz)$

$v = 3200 m/s$

Which explanation best describes a wave?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

C. a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and without a transfer of matter

Explanation:

A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy from one location to the other via a substance called medium. It is important to note that a wave only conveys energy and not matter. For example, sound wave is a type of wave that carries sound energy from one place to another via mediums such as water, air etc.

Hence, according to this question, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and WITHOUT A TRANSFER OF MATTER.

See attached picture for clearer solution.

Explanation:

The net electrostatic force acting on charge A = 2/ 2 + 2 /(2) 2 − 2 /(3) 2 = 2 / 2 (1 + 1/4 – 1/9 ) = 41/36 2/2 .

The net electrostatic force acting on charge B = 2/2 + 2/(2)2 − 2/2 = 1/4 2/d2 .

The net electrostatic force acting on charge C = 2/2 + 2/(2)2 + 2/2 = 2/2 (1 + 1 4 + 1) = 9/4 2/2 .

The net electrostatic force acting on charge D = 2/2+ 2 /(2)2 + 2/(3)2 = 2 /2 (1 + 1/4 + 1/9 ) = 49/36 2/ 2 .

The ratio of the largest to the smallest net force = 9/4*2/2 / 1/4 2/2 . = 9
