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)

An ideal solenoid having a coil density of 5000 turns per meter is 10 cm long and carries a current of 4.0
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
The rule that is used to get the strength of magnetic field at the center of solenoid (B) is:
B = <span>µ x n x I where:
</span>µ is the permeability of the medium where the solenoid is based. In this problem, the medium is air which means that µ = <span>µ </span><span>o = 4 pi x 10^-7 Tm/A
</span>I is the current passing (I = 4 amperes)
n is the number of turns per unit length (5000 turns)

Substituting in the mentioned equation, we find that:
B = 4 x 3.14 x 10^-7 x 5000 x 4 = 25.132 mT
