Why does sound travel more quickly through a solid than through a liquid

Physics
2 answers:
PolarNik [594]1 year ago

Explanation:

Sound travels more quickly through solids than through liquids and gases because the molecules of a solid are closer together and, therefore, can transmit the vibrations faster. Sound travels most slowly through gases because the molecules of a gas are farthest apart.

Because a solid is compact so sound can go through but a liquid is not solid and it traps the sound inside

Suppose that a charged particle of diameter 1.00 micrometer moves with constant speed in an electric field of magnitude 1.00×105
Dovator [93]
It's a bit of a trick question, had the same one on my homework. You're given an electric field strength (1*10^5 N/C for mine), a drag force (7.25*10^-11 N) and the critical info is that it's moving with constant velocity(the particle is in equilibrium/not accelerating). 
<span>All you need is F=(K*Q1*Q2)/r^2 </span>
<span>Just set F=the drag force and the electric field strength is (K*Q2)/r^2, plugging those values in gives you </span>
<span>(7.25*10^-11 N) = (1*10^5 N/C)*Q1 ---> Q1 = 7.25*10^-16 C </span>

The friends start by discussing what they know with respect to electric and magnetic fields. Alexa mentions several differences
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

A. "The electric force vector is along the direction of the electric field, whereas the magnetic force vector is perpendicular to the magnetic field."

D. "The kinetic energy of a charged particle moving in an electric field is not altered, whereas the kinetic energy of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is either increased or decreased, depending on the direction of motion."

Explanation:

Electric fields originate from voltage differences, the higher the voltage, the stronger the resulting field. Magnetic fields originate from electric currents, a stronger current results in a stronger field. An electric field exists even if there is no current. When there is current, the magnitude of the magnetic field will change with power consumption, but the strength of the electric field will remain the same.
