Answer: Mercury is rarely used in thermometers that take body temperatures because it is toxic, accidentally if by any chance a thermometer breaks orleaky, mercury gets inside body and can cause harm.

Answer:

1a) 857143 m

1b) 414 m

2a)

2b)

3) the medium of air has a wavelength of 0.334 m, the medium of water has a wavelength of 1.493 m, and the medium of 5.130 m.

Explanation:

Question 1a)

Given the velocity/speed, and frequency of the wave, the length can be calculated using these two quantites.

[ λ = v / f ] wavelength = <u>v</u>elocity of the wave / <u>f</u>requency of the wave in Hz.

Since 3 × 10^8 × ms^-1 is the velocity, and 350Hz is the frequency.

Anything to the negative power is reciprocated. i.e ms^-1 = m/s.

The wavelength is 300000000m/350Hz = 857142.8571428..... m ≈ 857143 m

Question 1b) Given that the frequency of the second wave in water is 1% of the first wave, and the speed of the second wave is 1450ms^-1

Therefore the second wave has a frequency of 1% of 3.5 = 350/100 Hz = 3.5 Hz

The wavelength is found using the same

formula: wavelength = 1450m/3.5Hz = 414.2857142857.... m ≈ 414 m

Question 2a)

Question 2b)

Question 3) Remember, the speed of sound of the medium = frequency of the medium × wavelength of the medium.

Therefore the wavelength of the medium = speed of sound of the medium / frequency of the medium. This has a similar correlation to the wavelength formula. We are given that all these mediums have a frequency of 1KHz = 1000Hz, where So the wavelength of each medium =

A rocket is fired at a 45° angle, what is the direction of the horizontal velocity vector at the peak height?
Bess [88]

Answer:

B: Horizontally to the left

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity is always constant throughout the entire trajectory of the rocket and acts in the horizontal direction in which the rocket was launched. This is because gravity only acts in the downwards vertical direction.

So in order words at peak height, horizontal velocity is in the horizontal direction in which the rocket was launched.

So if it was to the left, then direction is left but if right, then direction is right.

Looking at the options, the most appropriate will be:

Horizontally to the left
