The correct answer is:

D. Sound insulators prevent sound from being transmitted better than elastic solids

Explanation:

The sound is a variety of energy made by vibrations. These vibrations create sound waves which move within mediums such as air, water, and wood. When an object vibrates, it creates change in the particles of the medium. This movement is described as sound waves, and it keeps going until the shreds run out of energy.

Answer: The accurate statement which describes the transmission of sound through various medium is D.

Explanation:

Sound is longitudinal wave in which the vibration of particles travels parallel to the propagation of the motion of the wave. It requires a medium to travel. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

Sound insulator prevents the sound to travel for example plastic, wood etc. Sound travels faster in solid medium than in liquid medium. Sound travels faster in liquid than in gas. Less elastic material absorbs sound for example paper in compare to inelastic material.

Therefore, the accurate statement which describes the transmission of sound through various medium is "Sound insulators prevent sound from being transmitted better than elastic solids.

Suppose you take a 50gram ice cube from the freezer at an initial temperature of -20°C. How much energy would it take to complet

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The amount of energy required is $152.68\times 10^{3}Joules$

Explanation:

The energy required to convert the ice to steam is the sum of:

1) Energy required to raise the temperature of the ice from -20 to 0 degree Celsius.

2) Latent heat required to convert the ice into water.

3) Energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 degrees to 100 degrees

4) Latent heat required to convert the water at 100 degrees to steam.

The amount of energy required in each process is as under

1) $Q_1=mass\times S.heat_{ice}\times \Delta T\\\\Q_1=50\times 2.05\times 20=2050Joules$

where

$'S.heat_{ice}$ ' is specific heat of ice = $2.05J/^{o}C\cdot gm$

2) Amount of heat required in phase 2 equals

$Q_2=L.heat\times mass\\\\\therefore Q_{2}=334\times 50=16700Joules$

3) The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 100 degrees centigrade equals

$Q_3=mass\times S.heat\times \Delta T\\\\Q_1=50\times 4.186\times 100=20930Joules$

where

$'S.heat_{water}$ ' is specific heat of water= $4.186J/^{o}C\cdot gm$

4) Amount of heat required in phase 4 equals

$Q_4=L.heat\times mass\\\\\therefore Q_{4}=2260\times 50=113000Joules\\\\$ $\\\\\\\\$ Thus the total heat required equals $Q=Q_{1}+Q_{2}+Q_{3}+Q_{4}\\\\Q=152.68\times 10^{3}Joules$

At a constant temperature, the volume of a gas doubles when the pressure is reduced to half of its original value. This is a sta

djyliett [7]

Answer: Boyle’s law

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$ (At constant temperature and number of moles)

As pressure is decreased to half, the volume is increased to doubled.

Charles' Law: This law states that volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

$V\propto T$ (At constant pressure and number of moles)

Gay-Lussac's Law: This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

$P\propto T$ (At constant volume and number of moles)

Combined gas Law: combining the three laws:

$PV\propto T$

What are some forces acting on you now that you can't see? PLS HELP!!!!!!

RideAnS [48]

also displayed the effects of sound being an invisible force of our world. Sound are frequencies. Different frequencies shape matter differently as you’ve seen.

Now, the human ear can only hear frequencies to a certain extent. When you take a hearing test at the doctors, they test your hearing by playing different tones (frequencies) in your ear. As people get older they will not be able to hear higher frequencies.
