Answer:

t = 1.52 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound is constant and depends only on the properties of the medium in which the sound propagates, many of these properties change with temperature, in the case of propagation in air, the speed of sound

v = $331 \ \sqrt{1+ \frac{T}{273} }$

where the temperature is in degrees centigrade

v = 331 $\sqrt{1+ \frac{6}{273} }$ = 331 1.0109

v = 334.6 m / s

let's use the uniform motion relationships

v = x / t

t = v / x

let's calculate

t = 334.6 / 220.0

t = 1.52 s

Do you think scientists should continue to explore nuclear energy as a source of electricity? Explain your opinion and provide r

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Nuclear energy refers to energy trapped in the nucleus of atoms. Nuclear energy holds the greatest promise for large scale electricity generation. For instance, the amount of energy released by a given mass of uranium is 2.5 million times the energy released by combustion of an equal mass of carbon.One gram of uranium produces the same energy as 1 ton of coal, 17000 cubic feet of natural gas, 5000 pounds of wood and 149 gallons of oil.

Nuclear energy does not pollute the atmosphere as fossil fuels do. However, the challenges of effective control of the nuclear reactor and disposal of radioactive waste still remain a serious concern.

However, exploitation of nuclear energy as a source of electricity remain expensive and it is not quite easy to set up a nuclear power plant. Not many countries can afford to pay for the services of experts who operate nuclear energy plants talk more of providing the required equipment.

solutions:

-50kg

-32kg

-2kg

its 50 kg because as a result of being more heavy the force that is applied to him don't makes hi go as fast as the other one

In part one of this experiment, a 0.20 kg mass hangs vertically from a spring and an elongation below the support point of the s

statuscvo [17]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Hooke's Law as well as Newton's second law.

By definition we know that Newton's second law is defined as

$F = ma$

m = mass

a = Acceleration

By Hooke's law force is described as

$F = k\Delta x$

Here,

k = Gravitational constant

x = Displacement

To develop this problem it is necessary to consider the two cases that give us concerning the elongation of the body.

The force to keep in balance must be preserved, so the force by the weight stipulated in Newton's second law and the force by Hooke's elongation are equal, so

$k\Delta x = mg$

So for state 1 we have that with 0.2kg there is an elongation of 9.5cm

$k (9.5-l)=0.2*g$

$k (9.5-l)=0.2*9.8$

For state 2 we have that with 1Kg there is an elongation of 12cm

$k (12-l)= 1*g$

$k (12-l)= 1*9.8$

We have two equations with two unknowns therefore solving for both,

$k = 3.136N/cm$

$l = 8.877cm$

In this way converting the units,

$k = 3.136N/cm(\frac{100cm}{1m})$

$k = 313.6N/m$

Therefore the spring constant is 313.6N/m

What is potential energy

Lilit [14]

Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position. The energy that a ball has when perched at a top of a steep hill while it is about to roll down is an example of potential energy.
