<h2>Answer: an underground lake</h2>

Explanation:

In general, sound (mechanical waves) travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. This is because <u>the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium </u>in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium (that is:<u>density</u>).

In other words: The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which the sound waves travel.

So, if we are told the sound wave initially had a speed of 4,000 m/s and it suddenly decreases to 1,500 m/s, this means the sound waves passed from a solid medium to a liquid medium.

Hence, the correct option is: an underground lake.

Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify
frosja888 [35]

Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify the direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quality.

Which of the following illustrates an increase in potential energy? Group of answer choices a wind-up toy winding down a person
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

A car manufacturer wants to change its car’s design to increase the car’s acceleration. Which changes should the engineers consi
likoan [24]

Answer:

The car manufacturers could increase bore of the cylinders, place the engine in the center or back of the car, add 1 to 2 turbochargers, and lower the center of gravity of the vehicle to increase traction.

Explanation:

Turbochargers would be recommended because they significantly increase both the torque of the engine as well as the amount of horses powering the car while also increasing original efficiency both with and without the additional power. Weight adjustment allows for lightweight vehicles with good traction. This is important to both keep control of the car under acceleration, but it also makes the vehicle more efficient due to the now sheddable unnecessary weight. A more obvious approach would be to increase the base horsepower and torque of the engine by increasing the bore of the cylinders and the weight of the pistons. This acts as an inertial lever, because the extra piston weight will drag the crankshaft faster. This could also be achieved by taking away piston weight, but this could be catastrophic should a piston slip.

Weak magnetic fields can be measured at the surface of the brain. Although the currents causing these fields are quite complicat
STALIN [3.7K]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to a magnetic field in spheres.

By definition we know that the magnetic field in a sphere can be described as

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(z^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

Where,

a = Radius

z = Distance to the magnetic field

I = Current

\mu_0 = Permeability constant in free space

Our values are given as

D=2a = 16cm \rightarrow diameter of the sphere then,

a = 0.08m

Thus z = a

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2}\frac{Ia^2}{(a^2+a^2)^{3/2}}

B = \frac{\mu_0I}{2(2^{3/2})a}

B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2^{5/2}a}

Re-arrange to find I,

I = \frac{2^{5/2}Ba}{\mu_0}

I = \frac{2^{5/2}(3*10^{-12})(8*10^{-2})}{4\pi*10^{-7}}

I = 1.08*10^{-6}A

Therefore the current at the pole of this sphere is 1.08*10^{-6}A
