Answer:

The correct answer is B

An echo underwater and an echo in the air will return at different times. The echo underwater will return more quickly than the echo in the air.

Explanation:

The physics of this is simple.

Water and air are both made up of particles. The particles for water are more closely or densely arranged that those of the air molecules. Hence sound travels faster in water than in air. When measured, the speed actually differs by as much as 5 times with water being the fastest medium.

Think of it like this. Assume you have two stacks of dominoes, one closely packed than the other but exactly the same amount of dominos, you'd notice that the stack that is more tightly arranged will be the first to topple over because it takes less time for the kinetic energy from the first domino to reach the next and on and on like that until the last domino.

Cheers

A pendulum has 895 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
LuckyWell [14K]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system  remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed  from one form to the other.

Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.

Mathematically also potential energy is represented as

Potential energy= mgh

Where m is the mass of the pendulum.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height from the bottom z the ground.

At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.

The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as

Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2

Where m is the mass of the pendulum

v is the velocity of the pendulum

At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

3.53×10⁶ N/c due west

Explanation:

From the question

E = F'/q........................ Equation 1

Where E =  Electric Field, F = Net Force, q = Charge.

But,

F' = F₂-F₁...................... Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

E = (F₂-F₁)/q................ Equation 3

Given: F₁ = 3 N due east, F₂ = 15 N due west,  q = 3.4×10⁻⁶ C

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = (15-3)/(3.4×10⁻⁶)

E = 12/(3.4×10⁻⁶)

E = 3.53×10⁶ N/c due west

The molecules in metal are usually more tightly packed than the molecules in water. Most metals will sink in water. Pick your co
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Metal is more dense than water.

Explanation:

As we know, the molecules of the metal are tightly closed as compared to that of water and the density of a material is defined as the mass of the material per unit volume.

In a certain volume of metal, there are more numbers of molecules than that of water in the same amount of volume, therefore the density of metal is greater than that of water.

Also, according to Archimedes' principle, if there is an object in a fluid, then the buoyant force on that object is equal to the weight of the fluid that it displaces.

When the density of the object is larger than that of the fluid then it overcomes that buoyant force and sinks.

Thus, an object sinks in a fluid if its density is larger than that of the fluid and floats otherwise.

Since, the metal sink in water, it means Metal is more dense than water.
