When a layer of cold air close to the ground is covered by a layer of warmer air, sound waves traveling upward may be bent, or refracted, by the difference in temperature and redirected toward the ground.
Answer:
h' = 603.08 m
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the initial velocity of the pellet on the surface of Earth by using third equation of motion:
2gh = Vf² - Vi²
where,
g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)
h = height of pellet = 100 m
Vf = final velocity of pellet = 0 m/s (since, pellet will momentarily stop at highest point)
Vi = Initial Velocity of Pellet = ?
Therefore,
(2)(-9.8 m/s²)(100 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²
Vi = √(1960 m²/s²)
Vi = 44.27 m/s
Now, we use this equation at the surface of moon with same initial velocity:
2g'h' = Vf² - Vi²
where,
g' = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = 1.625 m/s²
h' = maximum height gained by pellet on moon = ?
Therefore,
2(1.625 m/s²)h' = (44.27 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²
h' = (1960 m²/s²)/(3.25 m/s²)
<u>h' = 603.08 m</u>
Answer:
Explanation:
The two major defects of simple electric cells causes current supplied to be for short time. These defects are: polarization and local action.
a. Polarization: This is a defect caused by an accumulation of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode of the cell. It can be prevented by the use of vent, using a hydrogen absorbing material or the use of a depolarizer.
b. Local Action: This is the gradual wearing away of the electrode due to impurities in the zinc plate. It can be controlled by the amalgamation of the zinc plate before it is used.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Momentum of an object can be defined as the product of its mass and velocity at which it is travelling. With that in mind, momentum = 3*100=300(kg⋅m/s).
One thing to note is the units mentioned. The SI unit of momentum is kg * m/s as it is the product of mass(kilograms) and velocity(meter per second) and not Newton.
