High/low notes have high/low frequency, not high/low amplitude.
Heartz measures the number of waves per second, not per hour.
Sounds do not travel in space because it's empty
Sounds make our eardrum vibrate. The diaphragm is the muscle we use to breathe.
Soft, pale materials are best for sound proofing because they absorb the waves.
In the next paragraph, ultrasound and infrasound are inverted (ultra means "over, above" and infra means "below").

Water at room temperature is discharged from a pipe at a rate of 1000 gallons per minute (gpm). Express this flow rate in cubic

marshall27 [118]

Answer

given,

discharge rate from pipe = 1000 gallons/minutes

now,

flow rate in cubic meters per second

1 gallon = 0.00378541 m³

1 min = 60 s

Q = $1000\times \dfrac{0.00378541\ m^3}{1\ gallon}\times \dfrac{1\ min}{60\ s}$

Q = 0.063 m³/s

flow rate in liters per minute

1 gallon = 3.78541 L

Q = $1000\times \dfrac{3.78541\ m^3}{1\ gallon}$

Q = 3785.41 m³/min

flow rate in cubic feet per second

1 gallon = 0.133681 ft³

1 min = 60 s

Q = $1000\times \dfrac{0.133681\ ft^3}{1\ gallon}\times \dfrac{1\ min}{60\ s}$

Q = 2.23 ft³/s

Which statement is true?

Maurinko [17]

The correct answer is<span> B.The speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the temperature of the air.

When the temperature increases so does the speed of sound. Sound is faster by </span>0.60 m/s for every higher degree in air temperature because the air density is reduced and the sound can travel faster.

The ms = 0.5645 and mk=0.1113 for a 30 N box on level ground. What level force is needed to start the box moving

nevsk [136]

Answer:

16.935 N

Explanation:

In order to make the box start moving, the level force applied on the box (F) must be greater than the force of static friction that keeps the box at rest, which is equal to

$F_f = \mu_s (mg)$

where

$\mu_s = 0.5645$ is the coefficient of static friction

(mg) = 30 N is the weight of the box

Therefore, the condition for F must be:

$F \geq F_f\\F \geq \mu_k (mg)=(0.5645)(30 N)=16.935 N$

So, the applied force must be greater than this value.

An electron is moving east in a uniform electric field of 1.55 N/C directed to the west. At point A, the velocity of the electro

valkas [14]

Answer:

Final velocity of electron, $v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, E = 1.55 N/C

Initial velocity at point A, $u=4.52\times 10^5\ m/s$

We need to find the speed of the electron when it reaches point B which is a distance of 0.395 m east of point A. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2=u^2+2as$ ........(1)
