What medium does sound travel through the quickest and why

Physics
1 answer:
crimeas [40]3 years ago

Sound travels through all mediums solid, liquid, and gas. Because sound is a vibration it will travel fastest through solids. This is because the vibrations that make up sound are carried from one place to another by neighboring molecules vibrating against one another. The density of the solid is higher than liquid and gas which means the molecules are more tightly packed and the vibration can pass from one to the next more quickly.

A planet moves fastest in its orbit around the sun when it is at which position?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

When it's closest to the sun.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on a planet is equal to its mass times its centripetal acceleration.

Fg = m v^2 / r

The force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation as:

Fg = mMG / r^2

Therefore:

mMG / r^2 = m v^2 / r

MG / r = v^2

v increases as r decreases.  So the planet is moving fastest when it's closest to the sun, also known as the <em>perihelion</em>.

A truck pushes a pile of dirt horizontally on a frictionless road with a net force of 20\, \text N20N20, start text, N, end text
meriva

Answer:

300 Nm ; 300 J

Explanation:

Given that:

Force (F) = 20 N

Distance (d) = 15 m

The kinetic energy (Workdone) = Force * Distance

Kinetic Energy = 20N * 15m

Kinetic Energy = 300Nm

K. E = 1/2
