In solids, particles or atom are very closely arranged compared to gasses. When these particles are arranged in such proximity, vibrations from sound are very easily transmitted from one particle to another in the solid. Hence, the sound vibrations can travel through the solid medium more quickly than through a gas medium.
Speed of sound also depends on its frequency and the wavelength.
Answer
2) 1.5×10-2 m
Explanation
The potential difference is related to the electric field by:
(1)
where
is the potential difference
E is the electric field
d is the distance
We want to know the distance the detectors have to be placed in order to achieve an electric field of

when connected to a battery with potential difference

Solving the equation (1) for d, we find

<h3>Answer:</h3>
The mechanical advantage would decrease, making the block more difficult to lift.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The mechanical advantage in such a setup is the ratio of distance from A to B to the distance from D to B. In this picture, that ratio is less than 1, meaning the advantage of having this setup is less than the advantage of no setup at all.
While the force required to lift the block is increased by this setup, the distance over which that force is applied will be smaller for raising the block to a given height. (Overall, for the same height, more work is required with the lever setup because you're raising part of the mass of the lever as well as the mass of the block.)
Answer:
The workdone is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The height of the cylinder is 
The face Area is 
The density of the cylinder is 
Where
is the density of freshwater which has a constant value

Now
Let the final height of the device under the water be 
Let the initial volume underwater be 
Let the initial height under water be 
Let the final volume under water be 
According to the rule of floatation
The weight of the cylinder = Upward thrust
This is mathematically represented as


So 
=> 
Now the work done is mathematically represented as

![= \rho_w g A [\frac{h^2}{2} ] \left | h_f} \atop {h}} \right.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%20%20%5Crho_w%20g%20A%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bh%5E2%7D%7B2%7D%20%5D%20%5Cleft%20%7C%20h_f%7D%20%5Catop%20%7Bh%7D%7D%20%5Cright.)
![= \frac{g A \rho}{2} [h^2 - h_f^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bg%20A%20%5Crho%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%5Bh%5E2%20-%20h_f%5E2%5D)
![= \frac{g A \rho}{2} (h^2) [1 - \frac{h_f^2}{h^2} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bg%20A%20%5Crho%7D%7B2%7D%20%28h%5E2%29%20%20%5B1%20%20-%20%5Cfrac%7Bh_f%5E2%7D%7Bh%5E2%7D%20%5D)
Substituting values
