A sound wave traveling downward with a speed of about 4,000 m/s suddenly slows to 1,500 m/s not far below the Earth’s surface.

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>

If a stone dropped into a well reaches the water's surface after 3.0 seconds, how far did the stone drop before hitting the wate
pogonyaev
Let h =  distance (m) to the water surface.

Initial velocity, u  = 0 (because the stone was dropped).
Use the formula
 h = ut + (1/2)gt^2
  where g = 9.8 m/s^2  (acc. due to graity)
              t = time (s)

h = (1/2)*(9.8)*(3^2) = 44.1 m

cup of hot chocolate has a spoon in it. How does the heat move from the hot chocolate to the metal spoon handle?
serg [7]

The heat moves from the hot chocolate to the handle of the spoon by a process called thermal conduction.

It is the transfer of heat energy from one object to another when they are in contact with eachother.

Hope this answers your question.

Problem:
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Total energy is constant

Explanation:

The laws of thermodynamics state that thermal energy (heat) is always transferred from a hot body (higher temperature) to a cold body (lower temperature).

This is because in a hot body, the molecules on average have more kinetic energy (they move faster), so by colliding with the molecules of the cold body, they transfer part of their energy to them. So, the temperature of the hot body decreases, while the temperature of the cold body increases.

This process ends when the two bodies reach the same temperature: we talk about thermal equilibrium.

In this problem therefore, this means that the thermal energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold water.

However, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant: therefore here, if we consider the hot water + cold water as an isolated system (no exchange of energy with the surroundings), this means that their total energy remains constant.

If the same fish is attached to the end of the unstretched spring and then allowed to fall from rest, through what maximum dista
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

x=2d

Explanation:

initial stretch in the spring is d

so using Hook's law

at equilibrium position

k×d=mg

where k= spring constant

m= mass of fish

g= acceleration due to gravity.

d=mg/k ................ (1)

in second case  by energy conservation

1/2 kx^2=mgx

x=2mg/k

using equation 1

x=2d
