Speed of sound wave depends on the elasticity of medium

It is given by formula

$v = \sqrt{\frac{E}{\rho}}$

now if we are given that initially sound wave is travelling with speed 4000 m/s

Then its speed becomes 1500 m/s

so here since speed is decreased by large value

so here elasticity must decreased by large amount

A. a different kind of rock

B. an underground lake

C. an open cavity

D. a pile of dinosaur bones

So in above all options the density is changed or decreased by large value if the medium is changed to solid to liquid

So the correct answer will be

<em>B. an underground lake </em>

Explain how you can use the factors of production to produce a fruit juice in a production company

frozen [14]

Answer:

The factors of production include Land, Labour, Capital and Enterpreneurship

Explanation:

The fruit could be apple, orange , pineapple etc which are usually grown on land . They are tended to by people to ensure there is maximum yield. These people provide the required labour needed.

The cost of planting and payment of workers usually comes from the capital which is often used in running the business by the owner which makes certain decisions to ensure the fruit company is in place. All these factors work hand in hand to ensure production of fruit in a production company is possible.

What is the net force on a 50-newton weight hanging on a string tied to the ceiling?

Lady bird [3.3K]

The net force on the hanging object is zero. If it were not zero, then the object would be accelerating in some direction.

If you touch the two terminals of a power supply with your two fingertips on opposite hands, the potential difference will produ

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Yes the body will receive a dangerous shock in both cases.

Explanation:

Different parts of the body has different resistance. skin has the high resistance as compared to other organs of the body.

Dry skin has high resistance than wet skin this is because water is relatively good conductor of electricity, it adds parallel path to the current flow and hence reduces skin resistance.

Dry hands body has approximately 500 kΩ resistance and if 120 V electricity supply current received will be:

I = V/R= 120/ 500*10^3

I= 0.24 mA

Even the current seems is much lower than the safe zone but this is the case in case of DC voltage in case of AC voltage the body will receive a shock this is because the skin pass more current when the voltage is changing i.e. AC.

Similarly for wet hands body resistance is 1 kΩ. so the current through the body seems to be:

I = 120 / 1000

I = 12 mA

The current is higher than safe zone so the body will receive a dangerous shock.

Could someone answer this?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Here the circuit in which a 4Ω resistor resistor is connected in series and two 8Ω resistor resistors are connected in parallel. Also, ammeter and voltmeter connected in series and parallel circuit respectively.

Now,

The maximum power of each resistance is 16 W

The 4Ω resistor is linked in series with the circuit.

so, P o w e r = I

two

R, here i is the current through the resistor resistor R

1 6 = I

two

∗ 4 Ω

i = 2A

Now 2A passes through parallel resistors of 8Ω resistance.

we know that, in parallel, the potential difference must be constant,

the current is divided into two parts, because the same resistance current in each resistance will be half. then the current through each resistor in parallel is

2 A

two

= 1 A

So finally the current through the 4Ω resistor = 2 A

current through each 8Ω resistor = 1 A
