<h3>Answer;</h3>

-Temperature

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Sound is a type of mechanical wave, which means it requires a material medium for transmission. It results from the vibration of particles.
The speed of sound in mediums varies depending on the property of the medium and a number of other factors which includes; temperature, pressure, and humidity.
Temperature increases the speed of sound wave as particles at higher temperatures tend to possess more energy and thus they will vibrate faster and thus the sound wave will travel faster.

In which layer of Earth’s interior does convection occur?

Tresset [83]

<u>Answer: </u>

Earth convection occurs at the mantle layer

<u>Explanation: </u>

The movement of less dense material above the more dense material is called as convection. The mantle is the layer that lies between the core and the crust of the earth. The mantle is composed of rocks containing silicon, magnesium, oxygen, aluminium, iron and other minerals.

The heat energy of the core is transmitted to the rock in the lower mantle. This makes the rock with less temperature that lies in upper mantle to move down slowly. Now the rocks that are pushed up is eventually cooled and again pushed down by the hotter rock from the lower mantle. This is called as convection in earth’s mantle .

A rotating wheel requires a time Δt = [01]_____________________ to rotate 37.0 revolutions. Its angular speed at the end of the

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial angular velocity ω₁ = 0 , final angular velocity ω₂ = 75.9 rad /s

angle rotated = θ

= 37 x 2π

= 74 π

The formula for angular velocity

ω₂² = ω₁² + 2αθ , α is angular acceleration

75.9² = 0 + 2 α x 74 π

α = 75.9² / 2 x 74 π

= 12.396 rad / s²

A gas is compressed in a cylinder from a volume of 20.0 l to 2.0 l by a constant pressure of 10.0 atm. calculate the amount of w

jok3333 [9.3K]

First, we need to convert the pressure in SI units. Keeping in mind that $1 atm = 1.01 \cdot 10^5 Pa$ :
$p=10.0 atm =1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa$

The initial and final volume of the gas are (keeping in mind that $1.0 L = 0.001 m^3$ ):
$V_i = 20.0 L=0.020 m^3$
$V_f = 2.0 L=0.002 m^3$

So, the work done on the gas by the surrounding is
$W= -p \Delta V=-p(V_f-V_i)=-(1.01 \cdot 10^6 Pa)(0.002 m^3-0.020 m^3)=18180 J$
And the final positive sign means that this work corresponds to an increase in internal energy of the gas.
