True because steel is much heavier and will make the sound travel through it slower

This is false. Sound travels faster through steel. That is why you can see people in movies putting their ear on the railroads to see whether a train is coming. That is because they can't hear it through air, but the sound travels through the steel.

A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 450 feet per second at an angle of 70° with the horizontal.
pav-90 [236]
<h2>After 26.28 seconds projectile returns 26.28 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

Initial velocity = 450 ft/s = 137.16 m/s

Angle, θ = 70°

Consider the vertical motion of projectile,

When the projectile return to the ground we have

           Displacement, s = 0 m

           Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

            Initial velocity, u = 137.16 x sin70 = 128.89 m/s

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5 at²

                s = ut + 0.5 at²

                0 = 128.89 x t + 0.5 x (-9.81) x t²

                t² - 26.28 t = 0

                t ( t- 26.28) = 0

               t = 0 s or t = 26.28 s

After 26.28 seconds projectile returns 26.28 seconds.

2. Four resistors of 2 ohm each are connected first in series and then in parallel with a battery.Find the ratio of electric cur
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Ratio of series current to parallel

= 1 : 8

Explanation:

Total resistance Rt

For series, Rt = 2+2+2+2 = 4ohms

For parallel, 1/Rt = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2

1/Rt = 4/2, Rt = 2/4 ohms.

If we use a 1V battery, then,

I = V/Rt

I = 1/4 = 0.25 ampere for series arrangement.

I = 1/0.5 = 2 ohms.

Ratio of current of series to parallel = 0.25 : 2

= 1 : 8

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface,pointing down, that averages 102 N/C. This field is maintained by various
Schach [20]

Answer:

q  =  -461532.5 \ C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  electric filed is  E  =  102 \ N/C  

Generally according to Gauss law

=>   E  A  =  \frac{q}{\epsilon_o }

Given that  the electric field is pointing downward  , the equation become

    - E  A  =  \frac{q}{\epsilon_o }

Here   q is the excess charge on the surface of the earth

          A is the surface  area of the of the earth which is mathematically represented as

     A  =  4\pi r^2

Where r is the radius of the earth which has a value r = 6.3781*10^6 m

 substituting values

    A  = 4 * 3.142  *   (6.3781*10^6 \ m)^2

    A  =5.1128 *10^{14} \ m^2

So

   q  =  -E  * A  *  \epsilon _o

Here \epsilon_o s the permitivity of free space with value

          \epsilon_o  =  8.85*10^{-12} \  m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot  s^4 \cdot A^2

substituting values

     q  =  -102  * 5.1128 *10^{14}  *  8.85 *10^{-12}

     q  =  -461532.5 \ C
