Answer:

Happy now?

Explanation:

Correct answer:

Sound waves are longitudinal waves, meaning that the waves propagate by compression and rarefaction of their medium. They are termed longitudinal waves because the particles in the medium through which the wave travels (air molecules in our case) oscillate parallel to the direction of motion.

A mass is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal circle with a constant angular speed. show answer No Attempt If this speed

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is quadrupled i.e. increased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the centripetal force. This force is given by

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

It follows that $F \propto v^2$ , provided m and r are constant.

When v is doubled, the new force, $F_1$ , is

$F_1 = \dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r} = \dfrac{4mv^2}{r} = 4\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = 4F$

Hence, the tension in the string is quadrupled.

it is about 384,750 kilometers from earth to the moon. it took the apollo astronauts about 2 days and 19.5 hours to fly to the m

Jet001 [13]

We know, speed = Distance / Time
d = 384,750 Km
t = 2 days, 19.5 hours = 48+19.5 = 67.5 hour

Substitute their values,
s = 384,750 / 67.5
s = 5700 Km/h

In short, Your Answer would be 5700 Km/h

Hope this helps!

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 0.032 kg ball as it leaves a hand to be thrown upwards at 6.2 m/s

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.

Explanation:

Use the kinetic energy formula

$E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}0.032kg\cdot 6.2^2 \frac{m^2}{s^2}= 0.615J$

The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)

Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does

Strike441 [17]

Answer: Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does? The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.
