What medium does sound travel through the quickest and why

Physics
1 answer:
crimeas [40]3 years ago
7 0
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 toy rocket travels at an initial velocity of 144 feet per second. The height of the rocket can be modeled by the function h(t)
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

t = 4.5 second

Explanation:

A toy rocket travels at an initial velocity of 144 feet per second. The height of the rocket can be modeled by the function as follows :

h(t)=-16t^2+144t

t is time in seconds

We need to find the time when the rocket return to the ground.

When it reaches ground, h(t) = 0

So,

-16t^2+144t=0\\\\t(-32t+144)=0\\\\t=0\ \text{and} -32t+144=0\\\\t=0\ \text{and}\ t=4.5\ s

So, at 4.5 second the rocket will return to the ground.

At what distance will a 80 W lightbulb have the same apparent brightness as a 120 W bulb viewed from a distance of 40 m
liq [111]

Answer:

32.6mm

Explanation:

Using area of a sphere(bulb) = 4πr²

So A is proportional to radius²

So the Energy will be proportional to r²

But 120/80 = 1.5 is the energy factor so

Using

1.5/d² = 1/r²

1.5/40²= 1/r^2

r = √( 40²/ 1.5)

r = 32.6m

They will only see the door move when both people exert the same force so that the forces are unbalanced. neither person exerts
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is when one person exerts more force than the other so that the forces are unbalanced.

Explanation:

In fact, the door is initially at rest. In order to move the door, a net force different from zero should be applied, according to Newton's second law:

                                       <em> ∑F = ma</em>

where the term on the left is the resultant of the forces acting on the door, m is the door mass and a its acceleration. In order to move the door, the acceleration must be different from zero. But this means that the resultant of the forces acting on it must be different from zero: this is possible only if  the forces applied by the two persons are unbalanced, i.e. one person exerts more force than the other.

How do you know if a reaction is endothermic?
viva [34]
Endothermic is when heat is absorbed, so like when ice turns into water, it absorbed heat and energy from the air because now the molecules in the ice started moving faster and more freely to become a liquid state.
