When a person collides with an inflated air bag, the impact forces the molecules of gas in the bag closer together. The compression of the gas absorbs the energy of the impact.
<h2>
So, the correct answers are:</h2>
Travels in longitudinal waves
Travels most slowly through a gas
Speeds up when temperature is increased
Is caused by vibration
Explanation for correct answers:
Yes, it does travel in longitudinal waves
Yes, sounds weird, but travels faster in the water
Yes, does speed up when temperature is increased
And yes, Is caused by vibration.
<h2>
Wrong answer is:</h2>
Can travel through a vacuum
Explanation for wrong answer:
actually, in space, there is NO sound, because there are no particals for the sound to vibrate with, there's just empty SPACE.
Answer:
55.8 m/s
Explanation:
= Actual frequency of sound emitted by car
= frequency observed when the car moves = 
= Speed of sound = 343 m/s
= Speed of car
Frequency observed is given as
Answer: 6250 joules
Explanation:
The work needed to lift an object of mass M by a height H is equal to:
w = M*g*H
where h = 10m/s^2
then the total work that he did is equal to the sum of the work for every stone:
W = (100kg*g*H) + (120kg*g*H) + (140kg*g*H) + (160kg*g*H) + (180kg*g*H)
= (100kg + 120kg + 140kg + 160kg + 180kg)*g*H
= (500kg)*g*H
and now we can repalce g by 10m/s^2 and H by 125cm
But you can notice that we have two different units of distance, so knowing that 100cm = 1m
we can write H = 125cm = (125/100) m = 1.25 m
Then we have:
H = 500kg*10m/s^2*1.25m = 6250 J
