Why do you think sound travels faster in steel than it does in wood? (Hint: Think about the densities of the two materials, and how the particles might be arranged.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

If sound waves of the same energy were passed through a block of wood and a block of steel, which is more dense than the wood, the molecules of the steel would vibrate at a slower rate. Sound moves faster through denser air because the molecules are closer together in dense air and sound can be more easily passed on.

A way of showing how energy moves through an ecosystem _________

Answers

Explanation:

Plants, as a autotrophs have chlorophyll to capture light energy from sun to make starch and sugar. Then, consumers eat plants, and the sugar is transferred to higher trophic level in a form of organic food. Nevertheless, energy is lost by uneaten food, indigestible food, unabsorbed food, excretory waste (eg co2) and heat loss by respiration.

Answer:

The Food Chain

Explanation:

The food chain is conducted of a web connected to three classifications. Each transfering energy to one a other when nutrients and living matter is passed from producers (one class) to consumers (another class), and is broken down by the decomposers (third class) lastly.

A mass of 15 X 10^5 kg is held at a position 9 m away from a mass of 20 X 10^6 kg. What is the gravitational attraction between the two masses?

Answers

Answer:

The gravitational attraction between the two masses is 24.7 N.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of object 1, [tex]m_1=15\times 10^5\ kg[/tex]            

Mass of object 2, [tex]m_2=20\times 10^6\ kg[/tex]

Distance between masses is 9 m

We know that there exists a gravitational force between masses when they are placed at certain distance. The gravitational force between masses is given by :

[tex]F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{15\times 10^5\times 20\times 10^6}{(9)^2}\\\\F=24.7\ N[/tex]

So, the gravitational attraction between the two masses is 24.7 N.

A 4.0-kg ball has a momentum of 20.0 kg-m/s. What is the ball's speed?

Answers

Explanation:

Moving mass m = 4.0Kg

Momentum P = 20.0Kgm/s

Speed V = ?

Momentum = product of mass and its velocity

P = mV

V = P

m

V = 20

4

V = 5m/s

The ball's speed is 5 m/s.

What is speed?

Speed is distance travelled by the object per unit time. Due to having no direction and only having magnitude, speed is a scalar quantity With SI unit meter/second.

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball; m = 4.0Kg

Momentum of the ball; P = 20.0Kgm/s

We have to find; the speed of the ball; v = ?

We know that: Momentum of the ball = product of mass and its speed

⇒ P = mv

⇒ v = P/m

⇒ v = 20.0/4.0 m/s.

⇒ v = 5m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball is 5 m/s.

Heart rate

Exercising

The heart

Cardiovascular system

Health

Introduction

As Valentine's Day approaches, we're increasingly confronted with "artistic" images of the heart. Real hearts hardly resemble to two-lobed shapes adorning cards and candy boxes this time of year. And the actual shape of the human heart is important for its function of supplying blood to the entire body. You have likely noticed that your heart beats more quickly when you exercise. But have you ever taken the time to observe how long it takes to return to its normal rate after you're done exercising? In this science activity you'll get to do some exercises to explore your own heart-rate recovery time.

Background

Your heart is continuously beating to keep blood circulating throughout your body. Its rate changes depending on your activity level; it is lower while you are asleep and at rest and higher while you exercise—to supply your muscles with enough freshly oxygenated blood to keep the functioning at a high level. Because your heart is also a muscle, exercise, in turn, helps keep it healthy. The American Heart Association recommends that a person does exercise that is vigorous enough to raise their heart rate to their target heart-rate zone—50 percent to 85 percent of their maximum heart rate, which is 220 beats per minute (bpm) minus their age for adults—for at least 30 minutes on most days, or about 150 minutes a week in total. So for a 20-year-old, the maximum heart rate would be 200 bpm, with a target heart-rate zone of 100 to 170 bpm. (For those 19 or younger, target zones can vary more than they do for adults.)

Explanation:

a) Speed of Car and Distance Traveled

Direct

Since, speed = (distance)(time)

Therefore, for constant time, Speed α Distance

b) No. of People at Party and Amount of Food Consumed

Direct

Since,

Food Consumed = (Food Consumed by 1 Person)(No. of People at Party)

Therefore, for constant amount of food consumed by 1 person,

Food Consumed α No. of People at Party

c) Elevation above Sea Level and Air Temperature

Inverse

The relation between altitude and air temperature is not constant. It changes in every layer of the atmosphere. So, if we only talk about the first layer, that is, Troposphere. Then the relation between elevation above sea level and air temperature is:

Air Temperature α 1/Elevation Above Sea Level

As, the elevation increases the air temperature decreases.

d) Distance of a Planet from Sun and Period of Revolution

Direct

According to Kepler's Law:

Period of Revolution α (Distance from Sun)^1.5

e) Temperature of a Bowl of Soup and Time

Inverse

Since, the initial temperature of soup is higher than the surrounding. Thus it loses heat to the surrounding with time. As a result the temperature of the soup decreases with time.

Therefore,

Temperature of Bowl of Soup α 1/Time

Two trains on parallel tracks are traveling in the same direction. One train starts 10 km behind the other. It overtakes the first train in 2 hours . What is the relative speed of the second train with respect to the first train?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]v'=v_2-v_1=5\frac{km}{h}[/tex]

Explanation:

The relative speed between the trains is given by:

[tex]v'=v_2-v_1[/tex]

v1: speed of the first train

v2: speed of the second train

To find the relative velocity you write the equation of motion of both train by taking into account the information of the statement. The trains have constant velocity. Furthermore, the second train stars 10 km behind the other one. hence you have:

[tex]x=10+v_1t\\\\x=v_2t[/tex]

for t = 2 hours, the positions of both trains are equal, thus you have:

[tex]10+v_1t=v_2t[/tex]

you factor v2 - v1 from the last equation and replace t = 2h:

[tex]10=v_2t-v_1t\\\\10=(v_2-v_1)t\\\\v_2-v_1=\frac{10}{t}=\frac{10}{2}=5 \frac{km}{h}[/tex]

Hence, you have that the relative velocity is:

[tex]v'=v_2-v_1=5\frac{km}{h}[/tex]

Hence, it will be answered in portuguese

1kg = 1000g

e

1 g = 1000mg

então

1 kg = 1 x (1000 x 1000)

1 kg = 1x 1.000.000

1 kg = 1.000.000mg

assim

 1 comprimido -------------> 0,025 mg

 x  comprimido ------------> 1.000.000 mg   ( só cruzar)

0,025(x) = 1(1.000.000)

0,025x = 1.000.000

x = 1.000.000/0,025

x = 40.000.000

1kg são feitos 40.000.000( Quarenta milhões de comprimidos)

De acordo com a sequência de substâncias listada na tabela ao lado, se atritarmos vidro com lã, o vidro ficará carregado positivamente. Qual será a carga da madeira quando atritada com: a) lã b) seda c) marfim

Answers

Answer:

a) Wood is positively charged when rubbed with wool.

b) Wood is positively charged when rubbed with silk.

c) Wood is negatively charged when rubbed against ivory.

a) A madeira é carregada positivamente quando esfregada com lã.

b) A madeira é carregada positivamente quando esfregada com seda.

c) A madeira é carregada negativamente quando esfregada contra o marfim.

Explanation:

English Translation

According to the sequence of substances listed in the table opposite, if we rub glass with wool it will be positively charged. what will be the charge of the wood when rubbed with a) wool? b) silk? c) ivory?

Solution

What will happen when two materials are rubbed on each other is due to the sequence on the static electricity table, with the materials arranged based on their tendencies to rub off electrons from one another.

Materials lower on the table can rub off electrons from materials higher on the table, thereby making the higher material positively charged.

a) Wood and Wool

Wood is higher than wool on this table, hence, wool easily rubs off electrons from the surface of the wood and leaves the wood with an overall more positive charges. Wood is positively charged after this.

b) Wood and Silk

Wood is higher than silk on this table, hence, silk easily rubs off electrons from the surface of the wood and leaves the wood with an overall more positive charges. Wood is positively charged after this.

c) Wood and Ivory

Wood is lower than ivory on this table, Hence, wood rubs off electrons from the surface of the ivory material and the overall charges on the wood is more negative. Wood is negatively charged after this.

In Portugese/Em português

O que acontecerá quando dois materiais forem esfregados um no outro é devido à sequência na tabela de eletricidade estática, com os materiais organizados com base em suas tendências de esfregar elétrons um do outro.

Os materiais mais baixos da mesa podem remover elétrons dos materiais mais altos da mesa, tornando o material mais alto carregado positivamente.

a) Madeira e lã

A madeira é mais alta que a lã nesta tabela; portanto, a lã retira facilmente elétrons da superfície da madeira e deixa a madeira com uma carga geral mais positiva. A madeira é carregada positivamente depois disso.

b) Madeira e seda

A madeira é mais alta que a seda nesta tabela; portanto, a seda retira facilmente elétrons da superfície da madeira e deixa a madeira com uma carga geral mais positiva. A madeira é carregada positivamente depois disso.

c) Madeira e Marfim A madeira é mais baixa que o marfim nesta tabela. Portanto, a madeira elimina elétrons da superfície do material de marfim e as cargas gerais na madeira são mais negativas. A madeira é carregada negativamente depois disso.
