<h3>Answer:</h3>

22.41 seconds longer

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Sound is a longitudinal wave that requires a material medium for transmission hence called a mechanical wave.
  • Examples of medium in which sound travels in are water and air.

From the question give;

Speed of sound in air at 20°C is 343 m/s

Speed of sound in water at 20°C is 1,483 m/s

We are given a distance of 10 Km or 10,000 m

We need to finder how much longer it will take for the sound to travel in air.

Time = Distance ÷ Speed

Therefore;

Time taken in Air = Distance ÷ speed of sound in air

                             = 10000 m ÷ 343 m/s

                             = 29.15 seconds

Time taken in water = Distance ÷ speed of sound in water

                                 = 10,000 ÷ 1,483 m/s

                                 = 6.74 seconds

Difference in time = 29.15 seconds - 6.74 seconds

                              = 22.41 seconds

Therefore, it takes 22.41 seconds longer for sound to travel through air than water.

Bob adds heat to a substance. When enough heat is added, A. its particles move closer together and the substance becomes a gas.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

C. its particles move farther apart and the substance becomes a gas.

Explanation:

A. is wrong because moving closer together creates a solid, not a gas.

B. is wrong because moving father apart creates a gas, not solid.

C. is correct because moving farther apart creates a gas.

D. is wrong because when heat is added particles spread apart because they vibrate faster. Although, in a solid the particles are closer together.

- Just know the states of matter and how the particles move and that will help with this problem.
