The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter?

Marina86 [1]

The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.

In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.

A firefighter with a weight of 707 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 2.79 m/s2, directed downward. (a) What

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = 908.27 N

Explanation:

Force: Force of a body is defined as the product of mass and its acceleration. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N)

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = Force due to the weight of the firefighter + force due to acceleration.

Ft = Fw - Fa

Where Ft = The vertical force acting on the firefighter, Fw = Force due to the weight of the firefighter, Fa = force due to acceleration.

Fw = mg

Making m the subject of formula in the equation above

m = Fw/g................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the firefighter, g = acceleration due to gravity,

<em>Given: Fw = 707 N, </em>

<em> Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

Substituting these values into eqaution 1

m = 707/9.8

m = 72.14 kg.

But, Fa = ma

Where a = acceleration of the firefighter.

<em>Given: a = 2.79 m/s², </em>

<em>And m = 72.14 kg</em>

Fa = 72.14 × 2.79

Fa = 201.27 N

Therefore, Ft = 707 + 201.27 = 908.27 N

Ft = 908.27 N

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = 908.27 N

The Earth's electric field creates a potential that increases 100 V for every meter of altitude. If an object of charge 4.5 mC a

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The final kinetic energy is $K = 1.1 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The electric field is $E = 100 \ V/m$

The charge on the object is $q = 4.5 mC = 4.5 *10^{-3} \ C$

The mass of the object is $m_o = 68 \ g = 0.68 \ kg$

The distance moved by the object is $d = 1.0 \ m$

The workdone on the object by the fields is mathematically represented as

$W = [qE + mg]d$

Now this workdone is equivalent to the final kinetic energy so

$K = W = [qE + mg]d$

substituting values

$K = W = [4.5*10^{-3 } *100 + 0.68 * 9.8]* 1$

$K = 1.1 \ J$

What is rotation and revolution

skad [1K]

When an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.

I'd go for D here. It also fits in with the idea of thermal expansion - as something is heated up, molecules vibrate and maybe collide. they vibrate with bigger amplitudes, so taking up more space, so expanding. maybe
