6. Why does sound travel faster through a steel bar than through a swimming pool filled with water?
Water is a denser medium than steel.
Water has a larger wavelength than steel.
Steel has a larger wavelength than water.
Steel is a denser medium than water.

Answers

Answer 1
I understand that sound travels faster in water then in air. Water is a liquid, and air is gas.

Water still has the ability to roll the molecules over each other (so water can flow), it has some flexibility.

But I do not understand how a solid that is inflexible can make sound waves travel faster then in a flexible liquid.

In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air.

Sound waves travel over four times faster in water than it would in air.

A student kicks a ball of 1 kg with a velocity of 13ms. The contact is 0.2 sec. Find the force

Answers

Answer:

65 N

Explanation:

Assuming that the ball was at rest hence initial momentum = 0

Final momentum = mv = 1Kg × 13 ms-1 = 13 kgms-1

But

Ft= mv according to Newton's law

F= mv/t

F= 13kgms-1/0.2s

F= 65 N

Answer:

65 N

Explanation:

Given that :

Mass of ball = 1kg

Velocity = 13m/s

Time = 2 seconds

Using the relation :

Force = (mass * change in velocity) / time

The change in momentum of the ball :

Momentum = mass * change in velocity

Velocity change = (13 - 0) ; Given that initial velocity = 0 (at rest)

Momentum = 1kg * 13m/s

Momentum = 13 kgm/s

Therefore, the force, F equals;

F = change in momentum / time

F = 13kgm/s ÷ 0.2 s

Hence, Force, F = 65N

what is the correct answer?

Answers

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

Given polynomial is,

P(x) = 1x³ - 7x² + 2x + 40

If (x - 5) is a factor of the given polynomial,

Synthetic division by x = 5,

5 |  1    -7     2     40

    ↓    5   -10   -40

     1    -2    -8      0

Therefore, factored form of the polynomial will be,

P(x) = (x - 5)(x²- 2x - 8)

Now we further factorize the expression (x² - 2x - 8),

(x² - 2x - 8) = x²- 4x + 2x - 8

                  = x(x - 4) + 2(x - 4)

                  = (x + 2)(x - 4)

Now fully factored form of the polynomial will be,

P(x) = (x - 5)(x + 2)(x - 4)

Therefore, remaining factors of the polynomial other than (x - 5) are (x - 4)(x + 2)

Option (4) will be the correct option.

How does a decrease in thermal energy affect the temperature of each state of matter?

Answers

When energy is removed, the opposite happens, decreasing the substance's temperature and turning it from liquid to solid (freezing), gas to solid (deposition), or from gas to liquid (condensation). When the pressure exerted on a substance increases, it can cause the substance to condense.

If an object has a weight of 4050 N near the surface of the Earth, what is its mass?

Answers

Answer:

417.5 kg

Explanation:

Since the gravitational for of attraction F, equals the weight of the object W when its close to the earth, F = GMm/R² = W = mg where m = mass of object and g = acceleration due to gravity close to the earth = 9.8 m/s².

g = GM/R² where  g = acceleration due to gravity close to the earth, G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², M = mass of earth = 5.927 × 10²⁴ kg and R = radius of earth = 6.4 × 10⁶ m

So, g = GM/R²

= 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² × 5.927 × 10²⁴ kg/(6.4 × 10⁶ m)²

= 39.53 × 10¹³ Nm²/kg ÷ 40.96 × 10¹² m²

= 9.65 N/kg

≅ 9.7 N/kg

= 9.7 m/s²

Since W = 4050 N and W = mg

m = W/g = 4050 N/9.7 m/s²

= 417.53 kg

≅ 417.5 kg

So, the mass of the object is 417.5 kg

A 2.0 kg block is released from rest at the top of a curved incline in the shape of a quarter of a circle of radius R = 3.0 m. The block then slides onto a horizontal plane where it finally comes to rest a distance D from the beginning of the plane. The curved incline is frictionless, but there is a coefficient of friction, μ = 0.5, on the horizontal plane. Determine the velocity of the box at maximum kinetic energy

Answers

The block has maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the curved incline. Since its radius is 3.0 m, this is also the block's starting height. Find the block's potential energy PE :

PE = m g h

PE = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (3.0 m)

PE = 58.8 J

Energy is conserved throughout the block's descent, so that PE at the top of the curve is equal to kinetic energy KE at the bottom. Solve for the velocity v :

PE = KE

58.8 J = 1/2 m v ²

117.6 J = (2.0 kg) v ²

v = √((117.6 J) / (2.0 kg))

v ≈ 7.668 m/s ≈ 7.7 m/s

The velocity of the block at maximum kinetic energy is 7.668 m/s.

From  potential energy formula,

PE = m g h

Where,

m = mass = 2 kg

g -gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

h - height = 3 m

Put the values in the formula,

PE = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (3.0 m)  

PE = 58.8 J

Since,  

PE = KE

Thus,

58.8 J = 1/2 m v ²  

117.6 J = (2.0 kg) v ²  

v = √((117.6 J) / (2.0 kg))  

v = 7.668 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the block at maximum kinetic energy is 7.668 m/s.

A 4000-kg car bumps into a stationary 6000kg truck. The Velocity of the car before the collision was +4m/s and -1m/s after the collision. What is the velocity of the truck?

Answer:

The velocity of the truck is 3.33 m/s

Explanation:

Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and velocity v is  

P=mv.  

If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

[tex]P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n[/tex]

If some collision occurs, the velocities change to v' and the final momentum is:

[tex]P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2+...+m_nv'_n[/tex]

In a system of two masses:

[tex]m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2[/tex]

There are two objects: The m1=4000 Kg car and the m2=6000 Kg truck. The car was moving initially at v1=4 m/s and the truck was at rest v2=0. After the collision, the car moves at v1'=-1 m/s. We need to find the velocity of the truck v2'. Solving for v2':

[tex]\displaystyle v'_2=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2-m_1v'_1}{m_2}[/tex]

Substituting:

[tex]\displaystyle v'_2=\frac{4000*4+6000*0-4000(-1)}{6000}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle v'_2=\frac{16000+4000}{6000}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle v'_2=3.33[/tex]

The velocity of the truck is 3.33 m/s

Answers

Answer:

From highest speed to lowest speed:

A, C, B

Explanation:

On a position time graph, the slope of a line would represent the velocity, since the rate of change represents how many meters traveled in the given time.

The larger the slope, the faster the velocity; the steeper the line, the faster the speed.

Since line B is negative, you know that velocity is negative so it automatically has the lowest speed.

Out of lines A and C, since A is steeper, you know that A has a faster speed.

In conclusion:

A is the fastest

C is the middle

The atoms in a
spread as far apart as possible.

A
has a definite shape and volume.

The shape of a
can change, but the volume is definite.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three states of matter; solid, liquid and gaseous states.

The solid state of matter has it's particles tightly packed with very restricted  or no movement within the molecule hence the reason for it's definite shape.

The liquid state of matter has it's particles with a free movement (better than solid but not as free as gases) within the molecule hence it's particles are loosely packed within the molecule. Hence, they (liquids) assume the shape of the container in which they are stored and they move freely when released from the container.

The gaseous state of matter has it's particles totally loosely packed as a result of it's particles moving freely and colliding against one another.

Thus, we can use the above descriptions to answer the statements from the question.

1) The atoms in a  ----- are closely packed, but able to slide past each other. Answer: From the description above, it can be deduced that the atoms here are in a solid because the particles within a solid are closely packed.

2) The atoms in a  -------- spread as far apart as possible.

Answer: The atoms here are in gaseous form because, as described earlier, they are loosely packed and  can thus be as far apart as possible.

3) A  ----- has a definite shape and volume.

Answer: As described earlier, a solid substance would have a definite shape and volume because it's particles are tightly packed.

4) The shape of a  ----- can change, but the volume is definite.

Answer: The substance here is a liquid because the particles are free (but not as free as gases) and would have a definite volume but will assume the shape of the any container they are placed in (hence they have an irregular shape).

A 45kg skater and a 60kg skater are standing still, holding hands on frictionless ice. They push away from each other in opposite directions. If the 45kg skater was measured traveling at 3.5 m/s, how fast was the 60 kg skater traveling?

Answers

Answer:

The 60 kg skater is traveling at 2.63 m/s in the opposite direction from the 45 kg skater.

Explanation:

The velocity of the 60 kg skater can be found by conservation of linear momentum:

[tex]P_{i} = P_{f}[/tex]

[tex]m_{a}v_{i_{a}} + m_{b}v_{i_{b}} = m_{a}v_{f_{a}} + m_{b}v_{f_{b}}[/tex]  (1)

Where:

[tex]m_{a}[/tex]: is the mass of the first skater = 45 kg        

[tex]m_{b}[/tex]: is the mass of the second skater = 60 kg        

[tex]v_{i_{a}}[/tex]: is the initial speed of the first skater = 0 (he is standing still)

[tex]v_{i_{b}}[/tex]: is the initial speed of the second skater = 0 (he is standing still)

[tex]v_{f_{a}}[/tex]: is the final speed of the first skater = 3.5 m/s

[tex]v_{f_{b}}[/tex]: is the final speed of the second skater =?

By replacing the above values into equation (1) and solving for [tex]v_{f_{b}}[/tex] we have:

[tex]0 = m_{a}v_{f_{a}} + m_{b}v_{f_{b}}[/tex]

[tex]v_{f_{b}} = \frac{-m_{a}v_{f_{a}}}{m_{b}} = \frac{-45 kg*3.5 m/s}{60 kg} = -2.63 m/s[/tex]

The minus sign is because the 60 kg skater is moving in the opposite direction from the other skater.

Therefore, the 60 kg skater is traveling at 2.63 m/s in the opposite direction from the 45 kg skater.
