Different types of waves travel at different speeds. For example, sound waves travel more slowly than light waves. Have you ever been in a big empty room, or in a cave, and heard an echo? Echos happen because sound waves take time to travel to the wall and bounce back to your ears. But light is different. Light is much faster than sound. Light is the fastest moving thing in the universe. Because light waves and sound waves travel at different speeds, you can figure out how far you are from a storm by watching for lightning and listening for thunder. Lightning and thunder are actually the same thing! Thunder is just the sound that lightning makes. Because light is so quick, you see the lightning flash first. The sound travels more slowly, so you hear the thunder after. Thunder and lightning represent two kinds of waves: sound and light.
How do lightning and thunder illustrate the relationship between light and sound waves?
A Light moves faster than sound, so you hear thunder after you see lightning.
B Sound moves faster than light, so you see lightning after you hear thunder.
C Lightning and thunder are the same, so light and sound waves move together at the same time.
D Sound moves light, so when you hear thunder you know lightning will move toward you.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A). Light moves faster than sound, so you hear thunder after you see lightning.

Explanation:

The lightning and thunder demonstrate that 'light travels faster than sound' which clearly portrays the relationship between the light and the soundwaves. When we see lightning in the sky before hearing the sound of thunder as the speed of light much higher than the speed of sound. Sound travels ~ 343 m/s or 1235 km/hr while light travels 300000 km/s. This difference in speed prevents us from considering lightning and thunder as the same thing. The 'sound is a pressure wave and therefore, takes time to travel and bounce back to our ears.' Thus, we happen to witness lightning first. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Please Help! When drawing free-body diagrams, does the label "centripetal force" get used? Explain why.

Answers

Explanation:

No.  Centripetal force is a not a force itself, but rather a sum of forces.  From Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

∑F = m v²/r

So centripetal force does not get used on a free body diagram.

how much work must be done by frictional forces in slowing a 1000-kg car from 26.1 m/s to rest?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done by the frictional force is 3.41x10^5 J

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 26.1 m/s

Finally, it comes to rest, v = 0

We have to find the work done by the frictional forces. Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy as per work - energy theorem i.e.

W = −340605 J

Boats use echo sounders. Pulses of sound waves are reflected by the sea bed and
detected by a sensitive microphone. The time between an echo sounder sending and
receiving a pulse is 0.005 s. The device calculates the depth of the sea, using the speed
of sound in sea water, which is 1500 m/s.
Use this information to calculate the depth of the sea. Show your working.

Answers

Answer: depth = 3.75 m

Explanation:

Taken the speed of the sound in sea to be V = 1500 m/s

The time between an echo sounder sending and receiving a pulse is 0.005 s. That is,

Total time T = 0.005

Formula for echo is:

V = 2X/T

Where X = distance covered

Substitute V and T into the formula

1500 = 2X/0.005

Cross multiply

7.5 = 2X

Make X the subject of formula

X = 7.5/2

X = 3.75 m

Therefore, the depth of the sea is 3.75 m

The temp of equal masses of three different liquids A,BandC are 12°C,19°Cand 28°Crespectively . The temp when A and B are mixed is 16°C, and when Band C are mixed is 23°C.The temp when A and C are mixed is

Answers

Answer:

19.1°C

Explanation:

If A and B mix to give 16°C, A has risen by 4°C and B has fallen by 3°C;

If B and C mix to give 23°C, B has risen by 3°C and C has fallen by 5°C;

This means the energy transfered to cause a change of 3°C in B causes a change of 4°C in A and 5°C in C;

We can use this as a ratio (4:5);

The temperature difference between A and C is 16°C;

we add the two parts of the ratio (4+5) to get 9 and divide the temperature difference to get 16/9;

Next we multiply this by one of the parts of the ratio, so with 4, you get 64/9;

This number is the proportional temperature change in A upon mixing;

We then add this to the original temperature of A to get the resultant temperature of the mix like so:

64/9 + 12 = 19.1111...

You can do this alternatively using the other part of the ratio;

We would multiply the 16/9 by the 5 instead of the 4 to get 80/9;

This number is the proportional change in temperature in C upon mixing

Then subtract this from this from the original temperature of C and you should get the same answer:

28 - 80/9 = 19.1111...

How does the value of the electrostatic force vary with the value (how many) of the charges?

Answers

Answer:

Electrostatic force is directly proportional to the amount of charge on each body under consideration.

Electrostatic force increases with increase in charge.

Electrostatic force decreases with decrease in charge.

Explanation:

Electrostatic force is the force between 2 charges which can be explained by the Coulomb's Law:

F= K (q₁)(q₂)/r²

Where

F= Electrostatic Force

K = Constant of Proportionality

(q₁) and (q₂) = Amount of charge on each body

r = Distance between two bodies carrying charge

If the value of (q₁) or (q₂) is increased considering the other factors remain constant, the value of F will also increase.

And vice versa.

Light ray A moves from air to water. Part of ray A is reflected at the air-water boundary. Which arrow in the image is the reflected ray?
E
OA. B
OB.
С
OC.
D
OD. E

Answers

Answer:

A. B

Explanation:

The image has been attached.

Reflected ray refers to the ray of light which is reflected back after striking a surface that is non-permeable.

The ray of light which is reflected before the ray touches the surface is said to the incident ray.

According to the given image, ray B is the reflected ray. Ray B is reflected in the air after the ray A strikes at the surface of the water.

B

Explanation:

Since mirrors reflect things, when you shine light at a mirror, it will bounce off of the mirror, or reflect, and shine the opposite direction of where the original light is pointed. The answer would be B because light doesn't go through the mirror, or run along it.

Think of when you through a basketball on the ground. If you bounce it at an angle, it won't just come back to you in the same angle. It will keep bouncing at the same angle you through it. This is pretty much what describes the relationship between ray A and ray B.

A ___ force is not path-dependent and does not change the overall mechanical energy of an object.​

Answers

Answer:

conservative

Explanation:

Nonconservative force is the force that depends on a path, however conservative does not depend on a path and it is not associated with the potential energy. When the work is done by an unconservative force, mechanical energy is added or removed. Friction is the best example for a non-conservative force. When these non-conservative forces are acting, the mechanical energy changes but these are not preserved.

hope this helped!

Answer: conservative

Explanation:

A conservative force is not path-dependent and does not change the overall mechanical energy of an object.​

A conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the taken path, e.g. gravitational force or electric force.

A nonconservative force is one for which work depends on the path taken, e.g. frictional force.

Calculate the wavelength of a nitrogen molecule moving at a speed of 523m/s.

Answers

Answer:

The de-Broglie wavelength of the nitrogen molecule is 0.0272 nm

Explanation:

The mass, m, of the nitrogen molecule, N₂ = 14.0076u = 28.0152 × 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

[tex]v_{rms}[/tex] of N₂ = 523 m/s

The de-Broglie wavelength is given as follows;

[tex]de-Broglie \, wavelength = \dfrac{h}{m\times v_{rms}}[/tex]

Where:

h = Planck's constant = 6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ m²·kg/s

Plugging in the values, we have;

[tex]de-Broglie \, wavelength = \dfrac{6.62607004 \times 10^{-34}}{28.0152 \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27}\times 523} = 2.72\times 10^{-11} \, m[/tex]

Hence, the de-Broglie wavelength of the nitrogen molecule = 0.0272 nm.

Together, two students exert a force of 825 N in pushing a car a distance of 35 m.
How much work do the students do on the car?

Answers

Answer:

28875 Joule

Explanation:

W = F * d

W = 825*35 = 28875 J

The work done by the students in pushing a car at a distance of 35 meters would be 28875 Joules.

What is work done?

The total amount of energy transferred when a force is applied to move an object through some distance

The work done is the multiplication of applied force with displacement.

Work Done = Force * Displacement

As given in the problem Together, two students exert a force of 825 Newtons in pushing a car at a distance of 35 meters, then we have to  find out the work done by the students,

The force exerted by the students = 825 Newtons

The distance moved by car = 35 meters

work done by students = 825×25

                                       =28875 Joules

Thus, the work done by the students would be 28875 Joules.
