Why can gases be compressed

Physics
1 answer:
Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago
5 0
Gases can be compressed, because they just take up the space surrounding them. The attractive forces between the particles in a gas are very weak, so the particles are free to move in random direction. They just move along until they collide, either with the walls of the container or with each other. Moreover, gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart and they have space to move into.

How does the change in the sa/v ratio compare with the change in distance from the center of the cell to the nearest face?
Ivanshal [37]
<span>Answer: I'm pretty sure the SA / V ratio would get smaller. Assume that the cell is more or less spherical. SA = 4(pi)r^2, while V = (3/4)(pi)r^3. The ratio = (4(pi)r^2)/((3/4)(pi)r^3), which can be simplified to 3/r. Thus, the larger r gets, the smaller the ratio becomes.</span>

Order the speed of sound through these materials from the slowest to the fastest.
Sholpan [36]

Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Explanation:

Step 1:

Speed of sound in water varies from 1450 to 1498 meters per second

Speed of sound in Hot Molten lead is approximately 1210 meters per second

Speed of sound in warm air is approximately 338.89 meters per second

Speed of sound in cold air is approximately 293.33 meters per second

Step 2:

In warm air sound travels faster than that of sound travelling nature in cold air.

∴ Speed of sound in cold air < Speed of sound in Warm air < Speed of sound in hot molten lead < Speed of sound in water

Speed of sound in cold air the slowest while Speed of sound in water is the fastest mean.
