<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.

What potential difference is needed to give a helium nucleus (q=2e) 85.0 kev of kinetic energy?
Vilka [71]
The kinetic energy K given to the helium nucleus is equal to its potential energy, which is 
E=q \Delta V
where q=2e is the charge of the helium nucleus, and \Delta V is the potential difference applied to it.
Since we know the kinetic energy, we have
E=K=85~keV=q \Delta V
and from this we can find the potential difference:
\Delta V =  \frac{K}{q}= \frac{85~keV}{2e}=42.5~kV

A sportscar has a mass of 1500 kg and accelerates at 5 meters per second squared. What is the magnitude of the force acting on t
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

7500 Newtons

Explanation:

Mass of the sportscar= 1500 kg

Acceleration of the sportscar= 5m/s^2

Hence, let the Force acting on it be F

We\ know\ that,\\Force=Mass*Acceleration\\F=ma\\\\Here,\\F=1500*5\\=7500 kg m/s^2\ or\ 7500\ Newtons

Complete the following sentence: How much you pay in taxes depends on _________________________.
solong [7]

Answer:

How much you pay in taxes depends on the amount of your taxable income

Explanation:

The total amount expected to be payed as taxes is a factor of the amount of taxable income earned within the given tax period.

The taxable income is found by subtracting the amount of deductions and exemption allowed in the tax year from the gross income. It is also specified as the adjusted gross income

The set marginal  tax rate indicates the percentage of the taxable income that is to be paid as taxes, such that there are three different ranges or tax brackets and taxes are paid according to the bracket to which a taxable income belongs.

During the class prize-giving ceremony, Anand clapped his hands hard while Kumar clapped his hands softly. Everybody could hear
algol13

Answer:

C - higher volume

Explanation:

The pitch or frequency of sound that an object can produce depends upon its size and configuration . The shape of hand of all are same so the frequency of sound produced by hands of all will be almost same . Hence frequency of sound produced by the hands of Anand and Kumar would have been almost the same .

But the intensity of sound produced by them would have been different . Intensity represents energy a sound carries . Hard hitting clap will produce sound of higher intensity . Intensity of sound is also called high volume sound . So Kumar's clap will carry greater energy and hence greater volume of sound .
