For each situation, identify when sound would travel faster and why?

1 answer:

A. Outside on a summer day, there are less particles that the sound bounces off of (snow and wind absorb the sound)

B. Water, sound travels faster through denser objects. Water has a higher density than air.

C. High air pressure, sound moves faster through matter that is closer together. This can be said because sound can't travel through space. (There is no atmosphere and consistent particles in space for sound to go through)

D. A piece of steel, It's denser than wood and water.

E. 90% nitrogen and 10% helium, nitrogen is denser than helium so it will move faster

A 1.5m wire carries a 6 A current when a potential difference of 68 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

$11.3 \Omega$

Explanation:

We can find the resistance of the wire by using Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage applied

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know I = 6 A and V = 68 V, so we can re-arrange the equation to find the resistance of the wire:

$R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{68 V}{6 A}=11.3 \Omega$

Beginning 145 miles directly south of the city of Hartville, a car travels due west. If the car is travelling at a speed of 42 m

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The rate of change of the distance is 14.89.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 145 miles

Speed of car = 42 miles/hr

Distance covered by car = 55 miles

We need to calculate the the rate of change of the distance

According to figure,

Let OA is x, and AB is y.

Now, using Pythagorean theorem

$x^2=y^2+145^2$

On differentiating

$2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{y}{x}\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{55\times42}{\sqrt{55^2+145^2}}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=14.89\ miles/hr$

Hence, The rate of change of the distance is 14.89.

What is the spring potential energy of a spring that is stretched 15 cm if its spring constant is 350 n/m?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Spring potential energy = 7.875Nm

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Extension, e = 15cm to meters = 15/100 = 0.15m

Spring constant, k = 350n/m

To find the force;

Force = spring constant * extension

Force = 350 * 0.15

Force = 52.5 Newton.

Now to find the spring potential energy we would use the formula below;

Spring potential energy = force * extension

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Spring potential energy = 52.5 * 0.15

<em>Spring potential energy = 7.875Nm</em>

Heather and Matthew take 45 s to walk eastward along a straight road to a store 72 m away. What is their average velocity?

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

v = 1.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 72 m

Time taken, t = 45 s

We need to find their average velocity. Average velocity of an object is given by total distance divided by total time taken.

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{72\ m}{45\ s}\\\\v=1.6\ m/s$

So, their average velocity is 1.6 m/s.
