The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.
In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.
Answer:
Final Speed of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson = 15.812 m/s
Explanation:
Let's start out with finding the force acting downwards because of the mass of 'The Rock':
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: 118kg x 9.81m/s = 1157.58 N
Now the problem also states that the kinetic friction of the desk in this problem is 370 N
Since the pulley is smooth, the weight of Dwayne Johnson being transferred fully, and pulls the desk with a force of 1157.58 N. The frictional force of the desk is resisting this motion by a force of 370 N. Subtracting both forces we get the resultant force on the desk to be: 1157.58 - 370 = 787.58 N
Now lets use F = ma to calculate for the acceleration of the desk:
787.58 = 63 x acceleration
acceleration = 12.501 m/s
Finally, we can use the motion equation:
here u = 0 m/s (since initial speed of the desk is 0)
a = 12.501 m/s
and s = 10 m
Solving this we get:
Since the desk and Mr. Dwayne Johnson are connected by a taught rope, they are travelling at the same speed. Thus, Dwayne also travels at 15.812 m/s when the desk reaches the window.
Answer
The capacitor should be connected in parallel as parallel connection gives the arithmetic sum of capacitance which will give a corresponding sum of energy while capacitors in series gives the sum of the reciprocal if the individual capacitance
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Atomic structure contains electrons, protons and neutrons.
Electron is very light compared to proton and neutrons.
Given that the mass of an electron is
A) equal to the mass of a proton
B) less than the mass of a neutron
C) greater than the mass of a proton
D) equal to the mass of a neutron
The correct answer is B which is less than the mass of the neurons.
