Answer:

For sound waves to travel, there is a requirement of medium and density of the medium is considered to be one of the factors on which the speed of sound depends. When the medium is dense, the molecules in the medium are closely packed which means that the sound travels faster.

A 400-n block is dragged along a horizontal surface by an applied force as shown. the coefficient of kinetic friction is uk = 0.

gulaghasi [49]

The block moves with constant velocity: for Newton's second law, this means that the resultant of the forces acting on the block is zero, because the acceleration is zero.

We are only concerned about the horizontal direction, and there are only two forces acting along this direction: the force F pushing the block and the frictional force $F_f$ acting against the motion. Since their resultant must be zero, we have:
$F-F_f = 0$
The frictional force is
$F_f = \mu mg$
where
$\mu=0.4$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction
$mg=400 N$ is the weight of the block.

Substituting these values, we find the magnitude of the force F:
$F=F_f = \mu mg=(0.4 )(400 N)=160 N$

A camera lens focuses on an object 75.0 cm from the lensThe image forms 3.50 cm behind the lens. What is the magnification of th

N76 [4]

Answer:

7/150

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Object distance (u) = 75cm

Image distance (v) = 3.5cm

Magnification (M) =..?

Magnification is simply defined as:

Magnification (M) = Image distance (v)/ object distance (u)

M = v /u

With the above formula, we can obtain the magnification of the image as follow:

M = v/u

M = 3.5/75

M = 7/150

Therefore, the magnification of the image is 7/150.

A person is lifting a heavy box using a lever. What is the purpose of the lever in this situation?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

to reduce the force needed to lift the box and change the direction of the force

Explanation:

1. "A lever consists of a rigid bar that is able to pivot at one point. This point of rotation is known as the fulcrum. A force is applied at some point away from the fulcrum (typically called the effort)."

By this definition, we know that force is needed to lift an object using a lever.

2. "When the input and output forces are on opposite sides of the fulcrum, the lever changes the direction of the applied force. This occurs only with first-class levers. When both the input and output forces are on the same side of the fulcrum, the direction of the applied force does not change"

For example, on a sew saw, if a force is applied on one end, you on the other side/end would go up, meaning a change in direction.

3. Lastly, we know a lever is typically used to reduce work, in other words, the force needed to move something.

Basically, if we were to put a lever into an equation:

reduced force + change in direction = lever

(the expection) unless load and force are on the same side, there will be no change in direction.

For example, if you and your friend sit on the same side of a sew saw, the sew saw would not go up or down, meaning no change in direction.

So if not stated otherwise you can assume the load and force are on opposite sides. The purpose of a lever in that situation would be to reduce the force needed to lift the box and change the direction of the force.

*While reading my explanation, it may be helpful to look up a diagram containing a lever, with a load, fulcrum, and applied force.

Whats this symbol? ∑

olga2289 [7]

That is the Sigma Symbol. It’s the addition of a sequence of numbers; the result is the sum of the total. if numbers are added sequentially from left to right, any intermediate result is a partial sum, prefix sum, or running total of the summation
