Sound pulses emitted by a dolphin travel through 20°c ocean water at a rate of 1450 m/s. in 20°c air, these pulses would travel

342.9 m/s. how can you account for this difference in speed?

The difference in speed is due to the different densities of the two mediums.

In fact, the higher the density of the medium, the greater the speed of sound. Sound travels faster in liquids (e.g. water) than in gases (e.g. air) because liquids are more dense than gases. This is due to the fact that in liquids, molecules are closer to each other, and since sound is essemptially vibration of molecules, these vibrations are transmitted faster from molecule to molecule in a more dense medium (such as a liquid) rather than in a less dense medium (such as a gas)

Consider a car that travels between points A and B. The car's average speed can be greater than the magnitude of its average vel
ryzh [129]

Answer: A.True

Explanation: simply put the magnitude of the speed is a function of Distance while the magnitude of velocity is a function of Displacement. Displacement is the average Distance moved in different directions which will be smaller in magnitude compared to the Total Distance used the calculating the magnitude of speed.

If the pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, how would the graph change?
pickupchik [31]

We don't know what kind of graph it is.

For example, it might be a graph of the pendulum's distance from center,

angle from center, speed, acceleration, total distance swung since it was

started, mass, weight, temperature, etc.


If the graph shows the pendulum's distance from center, angle from center,

speed, or acceleration, then the graph will look like a wave, with the period

of the wave being the period of the pendulum's oscillation. If the pendulum

took longer to complete one oscillation, that means its PERIOD increased,

and the distance between the peaks of the graph would be longer.


If it was a graph of total distance the pendulum swung since it was started,

the graph wouldn't look like a wave, just a steadily rising wiggle line. If the

pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, the wiggles in the line

would be farther apart, and the average slope of any large section of the

line would be less.


If it was a graph of the pendulum's mass, weight, temperature, cost, etc.,

then the graph would be a horizontal line, and nothing that might change

the period of oscillation would have any effect on the graph.
