How does the state of matter affect the speed of a sound wave traveling through it?

1 answer:

7 0

Sound travels faster through a solid or liquid than it does through a gas because the molecules are more tightly packed and allows the sound wave to travel quicker. sound is vibrations that travel through the air or other matter until it reaches someones ear which allows them to hear the sound. hope this helps

A vehicle moving with a uniform a acceleration of 2m/s and has a velocity of 4m/s at a certain time .

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1 second later the vehicle's velocity will be:

$v(1)= 6\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\$

5 seconds later the vehicle's velocity will be:

$v(5)=14\,\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the velocity of an object under constant accelerated motion (with acceleration " $a$ "):

$v(t)=v_0+a\,t$

Therefore, in this case $v_0=4\,\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $a=2\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

so we can estimate the velocity of the vehicle at different times just by replacing the requested "t" in the expression:

$v(t)=v_0+a\,t\\v(t)=4+2\,\,t\\v(1)=4+2\,(1) = 6\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\v(5)=4+2\,(5)=14\,\,\frac{m}{s}$

A small metal object is tied to the end of a string and whirled round a circular path of radius 30cm. The object makes 20 oscill

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is 25.133 rad/s

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is 7.54 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular path, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m

number of revolutions, n = 20

time of motion, t = 5 s

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

$\omega = \frac{20 \ rev}{5 \ s} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = \frac{40\pi \ rad}{5 \ s} = 8\pi \ rad/s = 25.133 \ rad/s$

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

$v = \omega r\\\\v = 25.133 \ rad/s \ \times \ 0.3 \ m\\\\v = 7.54 \ m/s$

Why does the candle light has no shadow when light fall on it?

andrezito [222]

Shadows are the absence of light, they are created when an object blocks light. In other words, shadows are the product of light particles, known as photons. These particles “bounce off” of the object without reaching the other side. Therefore light by itself will not form a shadow.
