<h2>Answer: an underground lake</h2>

Explanation:

In general, sound (mechanical waves) travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. This is because <u>the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium </u>in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium (that is:<u>density</u>).

In other words: The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which the sound waves travel.

So, if we are told the sound wave initially had a speed of 4,000 m/s and it suddenly decreases to 1,500 m/s, this means the sound waves passed from a solid medium to a liquid medium.

Hence, the correct option is: an underground lake.

A man attempts to pick up his suitcase of weight w_s by pulling straight up on the handle. (Part A figure) However, he is unable
alexira [117]

Answer:

Part A. The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the suitcase minus the magnitude of the force of the pull.

Part B. The magnitude of normal force acting on the suitcase is equal to the sum of the weight of the suitcase and the man.

Explanation:

Part A. This is because when the man pulls on the suit upwards, he exerts a force in the upward direction. This takes part of the force of weight of the suitcase and decreases the force the suitcase is exerting on the ground. Thus, the normal force (force exerted by suitcase on the ground) also decreases by the same force as the pull.

Part B. The statements for this part were not given in the question, but the answer reflects what is going to happen in that scenario. Since the man sits on the suitcase, the total weight acting on the ground through the suitcase is that of the suitcase plus the man. Since this force (acting on the ground) is normal force, the statement given in the answer is correct.

Consider the waveform expression. y (x, t) = ym sin (0.333x + 5.36 + 585t) The transverse displacement (y) of a wave is given as
Sonja [21]

Explanation:

The waveform expression is given by :

y(x,t)=y_m\ sin(0.333x+5.36+585t)...........(1)

Where

y is the position

t is the time in seconds

The general waveform equation is given by :

y(x,t)=y_m\ sin(kx+\phi+\omega t)..........(2)

Where

k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\omega=2\pi f

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :

0.333=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\lambda=18.86\ m

585=2\pi f

f = 93.10 Hz

Time period, T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T=\dfrac{1}{0.010}

T = 0.010 s

Phase constant, \phi=5.36\ radian

Hence, this is the required solution.

Raphael refers to a wave by noting its wavelength. lucinda refers to a wave by noting its frequency. which student is correct an
blsea [12.9K]
They are both right because you can note both things, I mean Raphael and Lucinda, both has a right statement or explanation about the wave. Wave by nothing is both for its wavelength and for its frequency. So Raphael and Lucinda are both correct because you can note both wavelength and frequency.

When Jim and Rob ride bicycles, Jim can only accelerate at three-quarters the acceleration of Rob. Both startfrom rest at the bo
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

46.4 s

Explanation:

5 minutes = 60 * 5 = 300 seconds

Let g = 9.8 m/s2. And \theta be the slope of the road, s be the distance of the road, a be the acceleration generated by Rob, 3a/4 is the acceleration generated by Jim .  Both of their motions are subjected to parallel component of the gravitational acceleration gsin\theta

Rob equation of motion can be modeled as s = a_Rt_R^2/2 = a300^2/2 = 45000a[/tex]

Jim equation of motion is s = a_Jt_J^2/2 = (3a/4)t_J^2/2 = 3at_J^2/8

As both of them cover the same distance

45000a = 3at_J^2/8

t_J^2 = 45000*8/3 = 120000

t_J = \sqrt{120000} = 346.4 s

So Jim should start 346.4 – 300 = 46.4 seconds earlier than Rob in other to reach the end at the same time
