Why do people tend to cup their hands around listeners' ears when whispering to them? A) A cupped hand makes the sound echo so t

he listener can hear more clearly. B) The ear cannot absorb sound waves produced by a whisper without a cupped hand. C) Solid objects, such as a cupped hand, can direct sound waves into the ear of the listener. D) Sound waves from a whisper are short; they will not reach the listener's ear unless guided by a hand.

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In solids, sound travels faster because in solids the molecules are much more closer to each other as compared to liquids and gases.

Hence, distance between molecules is the minimum in solids and sound passes from one molecule to another easily.

Thus, we can conclude that people tend to cup their hands around listeners' ears when whispering to them because solid objects, such as a cupped hand, can direct sound waves into the ear of the listener.

Find the density of seawater at a depth where the pressure is 680 atm if the density at the surface is 1030 kg/m3. Seawater has
Pie

Answer:

1060.41kg/m^3

Explanation:

Bulk modulus is defined as the relative change in the volume of a body produced by a unit of compressive acting uniformly over its surface:

B=\rho _o \frac{\bigtriangleup P }{\bigtriangleup \rho}

Hence the density of the seawater at a depth of 680atm is calculated as:-

\rho=\rho_o +\bigtriangleup \rho=\rho_o(1+\frac{\bigtriangleup P}{B})\\\\=1030 \times (1+ \frac{(680-1)\times10^5}{2.3\times 10^9})\\=1060.41kg/m^3

How can you use the movement of molecules to determine when a phase change has occurred?
baherus [9]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.
