6 0

Answer:

speed is the rate of change in distance thus it is scalar physical quantity

while velocity is the rate of change in displacement thus it is a vector physical quantity

Explanation:

vector physical quantity: is a quantity that requires both magnitude and direction to identify

scalar quantity: requires only magnitude to identify.

A sound wave from a police siren has an intensity of 100.0 W/m² at a certain point; a second sound wave from a nearby ambulance

Irina18 [472]

The sound level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 140.

<h3>What do you mean by sound?</h3>

In terms of physics, the sound is a vibration that travels through a transmission medium like a gas, liquid, or solid as an acoustic wave. Sound is the reception of these waves and the brain's perception of them in terms of human physiology and psychology. Only acoustic waves with frequencies between roughly 20 Hz and 20 kHz, or the audio frequency range, can cause a human to have an auditory sensation. These are sound waves with wavelengths ranging from 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 millimeters in the air at atmospheric pressure (0.67 in). Ultrasounds are sound waves with a frequency higher than 20 kHz that are inaudible to humans. Infrasound refers to sound frequencies below 20 Hz. Animals of different species have different hearing ranges.

A real heat engine operates between temperatures TcTcT_c and ThThT_h. During a certain time, an amount QcQcQ_c of heat is releas

Nookie1986 [14]

The maximum amount of work performed is

$W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C$

Explanation:

The efficiency of a real heat engine is given by the equation:

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$ (1)

where

$T_C$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

$T_H$ is the temperature of the hot reservoir

However, the efficiency of a real heat engine can be also written as:

$\eta = \frac{W_{max}}{Q_H}$

where

$W_{max}$ is the maximum work done

$Q_H$ is the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir

$Q_H$ can be written as

$Q_H=W_{max}+Q_C$

where

$Q_C$ is the heat released to the cold reservoir

So the previous equation can be also written as

$\eta=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q_C}$ (2)

By combining eq.(1) and (2) we get

$1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q}$

And re-arranging the equation and solving for $W_{max}$ , we find

$W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C$

A ball with a mass of 5.0 g is moving at a speed of 2.0 m/s. Would doubling the mass or doubling the speed have a greater effect

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

doubling the speed will have a greater impact on kinetic energy as KE is a product of mass and the square of velocity.

KE = ½mv²

Base KE = ½(0.005)2.0² = 0.01 J

doubling the mass

KE = ½(0.010)2.0² = 0.02 J

doubling the velocity

KE = ½(0.005)4.0² = 0.04 J
