Why can't you hear a sound in space ?

Physics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

As the vibrations of the particles reach your ear, your ear drum receives the vibrations which the brain then interprets as sound. In the vacuum of space, there are no (or very, very few) particles to vibrate, so sound cannot travel through this medium.

A train moving west with an initial velocity of 20 m/s accelerates at 4 m/s' for 10 secon
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Distance of 400m.

Explanation:

Use your kinematics equation to solve for distance (we can use kinematics b/c acceleration is constant).

d = (initial velocity x time) + 1/2 at^2

d = (20 x 10) + 1/2 (4) (10)^2

d = 200 + 200

d = 400 m

A car travels from point A to point B, moving in the same direction but with a non-constant speed. The first half of the distanc
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

From A to B

distance traveled with velocity v_1  in time t_1

\frac{d}{2}=v_1t_1----1

from B to C

distance traveled is 0.5 d with v_2  and v_3  velocity for half-half time

\frac{d}{2}=\frac{v_2t_2}{2}+\frac{v_3t_3}{2}----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

\frac{1}{1}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{v_2t_2+v_3t_3}

\frac{t_1}{t_2}=\frac{v_2+v_3}{2v_1}

Now average velocity is given by

v_{avg}=\frac{d}{t_1+t_2}

taking t_1  common

v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{t_1(1+\frac{t_2}{t_1})}

v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1}{1+\frac{2v_1}{v_2+v_3}}

v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1(v_2+v_3)}{2v_1+v_2+v_3}

If the range of a projectile's trajectory is six times larger than the height of the trajectory, then what was the angle of laun
zvonat [6]

Answer:

H = 1/2 g t^2    where t is time to fall a height H

H = 1/8 g T^2   where T is total time in air  (2 t  = T)

R = V T cos θ       horizontal range

3/4 g T^2 = V T cos θ       6 H = R    given in problem

cos θ = 3 g T / (4 V)           (I)

Now t = V sin θ / g     time for projectile to fall from max height

T = 2 V sin θ / g

T / V = 2 sin θ / g

cos θ = 3 g / 4 (T / V)     from (I)

cos θ = 3 g / 4 * 2 sin V / g = 6 / 4 sin θ

tan θ = 2/3      

θ = 33.7 deg

As a check- let V = 100 m/s

Vx = 100 cos 33.7 = 83,2

Vy = 100 sin 33,7 = 55.5

T = 2 * 55.5 / 9.8 = 11.3 sec

H = 1/2 * 9.8 * (11.3 / 2)^2 = 156

R = 83.2 * 11.3 = 932

R / H = 932 / 156 = 5.97        6 within rounding

The mathematical symbol for period is<br> O A. A<br> O B. v<br> OC. T<br> O D. f
Advocard [28]

Answer: C. T

Explanation:

Period is a unit of time; and in the context of waves or oscillations it is defined as <em>"the </em><u><em>time </em></u><em>elapsed between two equivalent points on the wave or oscillation".</em>

<em />

It is important to note Period (denoted by T) is one of the most important factors (along with the amplitude, frequency and velocity) to describe and characterize a wave.

In addition, Period has an inverse relation with the frequency f, this means that if we are given the frequency of a wave, we can inmediatly know its Period.
