Answer:

The speed of sound in dry air at 0°C is 331 meters/second

Explanation:

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave. The speed of sound depends on the density and compressibility of the medium. If the density of the medium is less, then it will have faster speed of sound and if the compressibility of the medium is high, it will have slower speed of sound.

It also depends on the temperature. At 20 degrees Celsius, the speed of sound is 343 m/s. At 25 degrees Celsius, its speed is 346 m/s and at 0 degrees Celsius, the speed of sound in dry air is 331.3 m/s

The formula is as follows :

v=(331.3+0.606\times T)\ m/s

T = 0°C

v = 331.3 m/s

or

v = 331 m/s

So, the correct option is (b) "331 meters/second".

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

None of the above forces on air drag on him is equal to his weight

Explanation:

In the velocity-time graph,the gradient of the curve where it is flatten shows the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity when it reaches terminal velocity which means the parachutist reaches constant velocity or speed,indicating that the acceleration of free fall(g) is zero.And according to the resultant force formula weight - air drag= mass*acceleration. so when accelerate is zero,resultant force is zero. And hence the equation will be like this: weight= air drag

Determine the kinetic energy of a 2000 kg roller coaster car that is moving at the speed of 10 ms
kondaur [170]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100,000 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. The formula is half the product of mass and velocity squared.

E_k= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

The mass of the roller coaster car is 2000 kilograms and the car is moving 10 meters per second.

  • m= 2000 kg
  • s= 10 m/s

Substitute these values into the formula.

E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (10 \ m/s)^2

Solve the exponent.

  • (10 m/s)²= 10 m/s * 10 m/s= 100 m²/s²

E_k= \frac{1}{2} (2000 \ kg ) \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)

Multiply the first two numbers together.

E_k= 1000 \ kg  \times (100 \ m^2/s^2)

Multiply again.

E_k= 100,000 \ kg*m^2/s^2

  • 1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.
  • Our answer of 100,000 kg*m²/s² is equal to 100,000 Joules.

E_k= 100,000 \ J

The roller coaster car has <u>100,000 Joules</u> of kinetic energy.

An electric generator converts kinetic energy into --------<br> energy.
pickupchik [31]

The correct answer to the question is :  Electric energy

EXPLANATION :

As per the question, we have an electric generator.

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the function of generator.

The generator is attached to the turbine. When the turbine rotates, the generator also starts rotating with it. Thanks to electromagnetic induction, the electricity is produced in the coil attached to the generator when it rotates.

Hence, from above, it is obvious that kinetic energy is converted into electric energy.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

speed is the rate of change in distance thus it is scalar physical quantity

while velocity is the rate of change in displacement thus it is a vector physical quantity

Explanation:

vector physical quantity: is a quantity that requires both magnitude and direction to identify

scalar quantity: requires only magnitude to identify.
