Which best explains why sound travels fastest through a solid?

Physics

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.

What does the electric field strength tell about the electric firld?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The region around a charged particle where another charged particle experiences a force of attraction or repulsion is called electric field.

The strength of electric field is defined as the force experienced by the unit positive test charge.

E = F / q

Electric field strength is a vector quantity and it is measured in newton per coulomb.

Where, F is the force of attraction or repulsion between the two charges and q is the test charge on which the electric field strength is to be calculated.

The strength of electric field is more if the field is strong. It means more be the electric field strength at a point more be the electric field.

Three joggers are running along straight lines as follows: Jogger A, with a mass of 55.2kg, is traveling along the line y=6.00m
frutty [35]

Answer:

L = - 1361.591 k Kgm/s

Explanation:

Given

mA = 55.2 Kg

vA = 3.45 m/s

rA = 6.00 m

mB = 62.4 Kg

vB = 4.23 m/s

rB = 3.00 m

mC = 72.1 Kg

vC = 4.75 m/s

rC = - 5.00 m

then we apply the equation

L =  (mv x r)

⇒  LA = mA*vA x rA = 55.2 *(3.45 i)x(6 j) = (1142.64 k) Kgm/s

⇒  LB = mB*vB x rB = 62.4 *(4.23 j)x(3 i) = (- 791.856 k) Kgm/s

⇒  LC = mC*vC x rC = 72.1 *(- 4.75 j)x(- 5 i) = (- 1712.375 k) Kgm/s

Finally, the total counterclockwise angular momentum of the three joggers about the origin is

L = LA + LB + LC = (1142.64 - 791.856 -1712.375) k  Kgm/s

L = - 1361.591 k Kgm/s

1. What happens when like charges come together?*
12345 [234]

Answer:

When like charges come together, they repel each other. For instance, when the north and south poles of a magnet come together, they push each other apart. The like poles in the magnet repel each other and unlike poles attract each other much. The same reaction occurs in like and unlike charges. Also, the repulsion acts along the line between the two charges.
