A hammer taps on the end of a 5.0-mm-long metal bar at room temperature. A microphone at the other end of the bar picks up two pulses of sound, one that travels through the metal and one that travels through the air. The pulses are separated in time by 8.40 msms .What is the speed of sound in this metal?

Which type of circuit is becoming more common in residential electrical design and construction? a. hazardous-area circuit b. three-phase circuit c. 480-volt circuit d. communication circuit

An electric current is flowing through the cord below.what will happen to this current if a magnet is brought near the cord? a. the electric current will stop flowing. b. it will exert a force on the voltage. c. the resistance of the wire will decrease. d. it will exert a force on the electric current.

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to.in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?
