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.

Answer:

The potential energy of the ball is 784 joules. And the kinetic energy of it is 392 while falling halfway down.

Explanation:

PE = mass (2kg) * Gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)* height (40 meters)

KE = 1/2 mass (1 kg) * velocity^2 (19.8)

330 grams of boiling water (temperature 100°C, specific heat capacity 4.2 J/K/gram) are poured into an aluminum pan whose mass i
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

T = 74°C

Explanation:

Given Mw = mass of water = 330g, Ma = mass of aluminium = 840g

Cw = 4.2gJ/g°C = specific heat capacity of water and Ca = 0.9J/g°C = specific heat capacity of aluminium

Initial temperature of water = 100°C.

Initial temperature of aluminium = 29°C

When the boiling water is poured into the aluminum pan, heat is exchanged and after a short time the water and aluminum pan both come to thermal equilibrium at a common temperature T.

Heat lost by water equal to the heat gained by aluminium pan.

Mw × Cw×(100 –T) = Ma × Ca × (T–29)

330×4.2×(100– T) = 890×0.9×(T–29)

1386(100 – T) = 801(T –29)

1386/801(100 – T) = T – 29

1.73(100 – T) = T – 29

173 –1.73T = T –29

173+29 = T + 1.73T

202 = 2.73T

T = 202/2.73

T = 74°C
