That waves travel faster than the wave lenght!

The sound is transferred by collisions of molecules. Therefore sound waves will travel faster on warm air because collisions of molecules of air in warm air are greater.

Nataliya [291]

Question in proper order

The rotational kinetic energy term is often called the kinetic energy in the center of mass, while the translational kinetic energy term is called the kinetic energy of the center of mass.

You found that the total kinetic energy is the sum of the kinetic energy in the center of mass plus the kinetic energy of the center of mass. A similar decomposition exists for angular and linear momentum. There are also related decompositions that work for systems of masses, not just rigid bodies like a dumbbell.

It is important to understand the applicability of the formula

$Ktot=Kr+Kt$

Which of the following conditions are necessary for the formula to be valid?

a. The velocity vector $v$ must be perpendicular to the axis of rotation

b.The velocity vector $v$ must be perpendicular or parallel to the axis of rotation

c. The moment of inertial must be taken about an axis through the center of mass

Answer:

Option c

Explanation:

$K_{total} = K_{rotational}+K_{translational}$

The first two conditions are untrue, this is because, you can have rotation in any direction and translation in any direction of any collection of masses. Rotational and translational velocities of masses do not depend on each other

The last statement is true because by definition, the moment of inertia, which is a measure of reluctance, is usually taken about a reference point which is the center of mass

How is Newton’s third law of motion involved when you jump straight upward?

Bad White [126]

Newtons 3rd law of motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite. How it applies in this statement is that when you jump straight upward you hit the floor and you experience an equal magnitude of force against your feet, because force always acts as a result of two objects and whenever forces occur they do so in pairs of equal magnitude acting in opposite directions. I hope this helps!

A girl coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching level ground at the bottom with a speed of 7.1 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic fri

Lelu [443]

Answer:

114.19186 m

Explanation:

v = Velocity of girl at bottom = 7.1 m/s

$\mu$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.045

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

d = Distance

N = Normal force = 783 N

The weight of the sled and girl is considered as the sum of the frictional force and weight

Hence we use the following equation where the kinetic energy and potential energy are conserved

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\mu Nd\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\frac{783}{9.81}\times 7.1^2=0.045\times 783\times d\\\Rightarrow d=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{783\times 7.1^2}{9.81\times 0.045\times 783}\\\Rightarrow d=114.19186\ m$
