Answer:

Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. Here are some differences: Sound can only travel through a medium (substance) while light can travel through empty space.

In terms of impulse and momentum, why are air bags in automobiles a good idea
Inga [223]
During a car crash, the car decelerates extremely rapidly, so inertia causes you to move forward quickly. If there wasn't an airbag to slow you down, you might fly out the windshield.
The air bag increases impulse by increasing the time during which a force acts on you (impulse=force*time). This decreases your forward momentum, so you'll have a better chance of surviving.

A 1.5 kg spherical ball is has a radius of 50 cm is rotating with angular velocity of 12 revolutions per minute. Determine the r
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

K.E = 0.0075 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the ball = 1.5 kg

radius, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Angular speed, ω = 12 rev/min = (12/60) rev/sec = 0.2 rev/sec

Now,

the kinetic energy is given as:

K.E = K.E=\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

where,

I is the moment of inertia = mr²

on substituting the values, we get

K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times1.5\times0.5^2\times0.2^2

or

K.E = 0.0075 J

25. Explain why the speed of sound is faster in solids than in gases. Include two other factors Chapter 17 says the speed of sou
aksik [14]
In solids, particles or atom are very closely arranged compared to gasses. When these particles are arranged in such proximity, vibrations from sound are very easily transmitted from one particle to another in the solid. Hence, the sound vibrations can travel through the solid medium more quickly than through a gas medium.
Speed of sound also depends on its frequency and the wavelength.
