Answer:

Centre of mass is the point at which the distribution of mass is equal in all directions, and does not depend on gravitational field. Centre of gravity is the point at which the distribution of weight is equal in all directions, and does depend on gravitational field.

Order the speed of sound through these materials from the slowest to the fastest.

Sholpan [36]

Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Explanation:

Step 1:

Speed of sound in water varies from 1450 to 1498 meters per second

Speed of sound in Hot Molten lead is approximately 1210 meters per second

Speed of sound in warm air is approximately 338.89 meters per second

Speed of sound in cold air is approximately 293.33 meters per second

Step 2:

In warm air sound travels faster than that of sound travelling nature in cold air.

∴ Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Speed of sound in cold air the slowest while Speed of sound in water is the fastest mean.

As a quality test of ball bearings, you drop bearings (small metal balls), with zero initial velocity, from a height of 1.94 m i

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the bearings is $0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 1.94 m

Bounced height = 1.48 m

Time interval $t=14.86\times10^{-3}\ s$

Velocity of the ball bearing just before hitting the steel plate

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.94=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.94}$

$v=6.166\ m/s$

Negative as it is directed downwards

After bounce back,

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2'$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.48=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2'$

$v'=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.48}$

$v'=5.38\ m/s$

We need to calculate the average acceleration of the bearings while they are in contact with the plate

Using formula of acceleration

$a=\dfrac{v-v'}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{5.38-(-6.166)}{14.86\times10^{-3}}$

$a=776.98\ m/s^2$

$a=0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Hence,The average acceleration of the bearings is $0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$
