The medium through which a mechanical wave passes can be a solid, liquid, or gas. Properties of a wave change when it moves from

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Mechanical waves requires some medium to travel through. They travel faster in the dense medium as compared to a free medium.

The speed of a mechanical wave is fastest in the solid medium and the slowest in the gaseous medium. Hence, as the wave traverses from gaseous medium to the solid medium, its speed increases.

Thus, option A is correct

Human reaction times are worsened by alcohol. How much further (in feet) would a drunk driver's car travel before he hits the br

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

A drunk driver's car travel 49.13 ft further than a sober driver's car, before it hits the brakes

Explanation:

Distance covered by the car after application of brakes, until it stops can be found by using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

s = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a

where,

Vf = Final Velocity of Car = 0 mi/h

Vi = Initial Velocity of Car = 50 mi/h

a = deceleration of car

s = distance covered

Vf, Vi and a for both drivers is same as per the question. Therefore, distance covered by both car after application of brakes will also be same.

So, the difference in distance covered occurs before application of brakes during response time. Since, the car is in uniform speed before applying brakes. Therefore, following equation shall be used:

s = vt

FOR SOBER DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 0.33 s

s = s₁

Therefore,

s₁ = (73.33 ft/s)(0.33 s)

s₁ = 24.2 ft

FOR DRUNK DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 1 s

s = s₂

Therefore,

s₂ = (73.33 ft/s)(1 s)

s₂ = 73.33 ft

Now, the distance traveled by drunk driver's car further than sober driver's car is given by:

ΔS = s₂ - s₁

ΔS = 73.33 ft - 24.2 ft

<u>ΔS = 49.13 ft</u>

Having landed on a newly discovered planet, an astronaut sets up a simple pendulum of length 1.38 m and finds that it makes 441

Tasya [4]

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the pendulum length, and g is the gravitational acceleration of the planet. Re-arranging the formula, we get:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L$ (1)

We already know the length of the pendulum, L=1.38 m, however we need to find its period of oscillation.

We know it makes N=441 oscillations in t=1090 s, therefore its frequency is
$f= \frac{N}{t}= \frac{441}{1090 s}=0.40 Hz$
And its period is the reciprocal of its frequency:
$T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.40 Hz}=2.47 s$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the gravitational acceleration of the planet:
$g= \frac{4 \pi^2}{T^2}L = \frac{4 \pi^2}{(2.47 s)^2} (1.38 m) =8.92 m/s^2$
