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.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the radius of track required be r.
Centripetal force will be provided by frictional force which will be equal to
m v²/ r
Frictional force = mg x μ
So
m v² /r = mg μ
r = v² / μ g =
v = 29 km /h = 8.05 m /s
r =( 8.05 x 8.05 ) /( .32 x 9.8 ) = 20.66 m
The substance is DNA and it would be found in the nucleus.
(2.00 hours) x (3,600 seconds/hour) = 7,200 seconds
(9.00 minutes) x (60 seconds/minute) = 540 seconds
The record time = (7,200 + 540 + 21) = 7,761 seconds
Distance = (speed) x (time)
= (5.436 m/s) x (7,761 sec) =<span> 42,188.8 meters

The official length of the marathon run is 42,195 meters.
If we divide that by the record time in the question, we get
5.4368... m/s .
Rounded to the nearest thousandth, that's 5.437 m/s.
If the question had given the speed as 5.437 instead of 5.436 ,
then we would have calculated the distance to be
(5.437 m/s) x (7,761 sec) =<span> 42,196.6 meters,
4.6 meters closer to the official distance than the answer we did get.
