Which best explains why sound travels fastest through a solid?

2 answers:

8 0

Answer:

Sound is a mechanical wave and depends on the medium to propagate. Some of the characteristics from the medium like density or elasticity determine the speed of propagation.

Explanation:

In the air, the speed of propagation in 331 m/s, and in a solid like the iron is 5190 m/s. This is caused because at structural level, each molecule in the material structure needs to crash and transfer the energy to another. In “crowed spaces” that propagation will be faster, kind of similar o a domino effect.

The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas.

According to Lenz's law, the induced current in a circuit always flows to oppose the external magnetic field through the circuit

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

According to Lenz's law, the induced current in a circuit always flows to oppose the external magnetic field through the circuit. This statement is true.

The Faraday's law of induction is given by :

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

Here, negative sign shows that the direction of induced emf is such that opposes the changing current that is its cause.

Hence, the statement is true.

A person with a mass of 72 kg is riding a bicycle is accelerating at a rate of 5m/s on a horizontal surface. What is the weight

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

w = 706.32 [N]

Explanation:

The force due to gravitational acceleration can be calculated by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

w = m*g

where:

w = weight [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 72 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Then we have:

$w = 72*9.81\\w = 706.32 [N]$
