Explain why sound is more clear at night than the day

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.

1. The planet Jupiter completes a revolution of the sun in 11.5 years. Express it in seconds. Given that one year= 3.154 × 10^7

xenn [34]

Answer:

The planet Jupiter completes one revolution of the sun in 362710000 seconds. Long time, right?

Explanation:

3.154x10^7=3.154x10000000=31540000

11.5x31540000=362710000

1. A DC-10 jumbo jet maintains an airspeed of 550 mph in a southwesterly direction. The velocity of the jet stream is a constant

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The magnitude of actual velocity is <u>496.67 mph</u> and its direction is <u>51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of jumbo jet in southwesterly direction $(v_j)$ = 550 mph

Velocity of jet stream from west to east direction $(v_s)=80\ mph$

First let us draw a vectorial representation of the above velocity vectors.

Consider the south direction as negative y axis and west direction as negative x axis.

From the diagram,

The velocity of the jet can be represented as:

$\vec{v_j}=-550\cos(45)\vec{i}+(-550\sin(45)\vec{j} )\\\\\vec{v_j}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\ mph$

Similarly, the velocity of the stream is, $\vec{v_s}=80\vec{i}$

Now, the vector sum of the above two vectors gives the actual velocity of the aircraft. So, the resultant velocity is given as:

$\vec{v}=\vec{v_j}+\vec{v_s}\\\\\vec{v}=-388.91\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}+80\vec{i}\\\\\vec{v}=(-388.91+80)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}\\\\\vec{v}=(-308.91)\vec{i}-388.91\vec{j}$

Now, magnitude is given as the square root of sum of the squares of the 'i' and 'j' components. So,

$|\vec{v}|=\sqrt{(-308.91)^2+(-388.91)^2}\\\\|\vec{v}|=496.67\ mph$

As the horizontal and vertical components of actual velocity negative, the resultant vector makes an angle $\theta$ with the x axis in the third quadrant.

The direction is given as:

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-388.91}{-308.91})\\\\\theta=51.54\°(Third\ quadrant)$

Therefore, the magnitude of actual velocity is 496.67 mph and its direction is 51.54° with the x axis in the third quadrant.

The magnitude of the Poynting vector of a planar electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.724 W/m2. What is the maximum va

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

7.78x10^-8T

Explanation:

The Pointing Vector S is

S = (1/μ0) E × B

at any instant, where S, E, and B are vectors. Since E and B are always perpendicular in an EM wave,

S = (1/μ0) E B

where S, E and B are magnitudes. The average value of the Pointing Vector is

<S> = [1/(2 μ0)] E0 B0

where E0 and B0 are amplitudes. (This can be derived by finding the rms value of a sinusoidal wave over an integer number of wavelengths.)

Also at any instant,

E = c B

where E and B are magnitudes, so it must also be true at the instant of peak values

E0 = c B0

Substituting for E0,

<S> = [1/(2 μ0)] (c B0) B0 = [c/(2 μ0)] (B0)²

Solve for B0.

Bo = √ (0.724x2x4πx10^-7/ 3 x10^8)

= 7.79 x10 ^-8 T

you have a 200 kg bag being lifted with a block and tackle. If you pull with 100 newtons what is the MA of the system?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mechanical advantage of the system is equal to 19.62

Explanation:

The ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it is called mechanical advantage. In other words it is the ratio of output force to the input force.

In this problem mass=200kg

applied force=100N

input force=100N

output force= $mg=200 \times 9.8=196N.$

mechanical advantage $MA= \frac{1960}{100}=19.6$

It gives an idea about the efficiency of a mechanical device. It is indeed a measure of force amplification. In block and tackle system an assembly of ropes and pulleys is used to lift loads. When the moving block is supported by a greater number of rope sections the force amplification will be more.
