The speed of a longitudinal wave in a metallic bar is 400 m/s. If the density and Young's modulus of the bar material are increased by 0.5% and 1%, respectively then the speed of the wave is changed approximately to ______ m/s.

When the position vector $\vec{r} = x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + z\hat{k}$ changes sign as $-\vec{r}$, which one of the following vector will not flip under sign change?

A small block of mass m slides down from the top of a frictionless inclined surface, while the inclined plane is moving towards left with constant acceleration $a_0$. The angle between the inclined plane and ground is $\theta$ and its base length is $L$. Assuming that initially the small block is at the top of the inclined plane, the time it takes to reach the lowest point of the inclined plane is ________.
