What medium does sound travel through the quickest and why

1 answer:

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 560-g squirrel with a surface area of 930cm2 falls from a 5.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use a dra

bija089 [108]

Explanation:

Terminal velocity is given by:

$v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho C_dA}}$

Here, m is the mass of the falling object, g is the gravitational acceleration, $C_d$ is the drag coefficient, $\rho$ is the fluid density through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object. in this case the projected area is given by:

$A=\frac{A_s}{2}=\frac{930cm^2}{2}=465cm^2\\465cm^2*\frac{1m^2}{10^4cm^2}=0.0465m^2\\560g*\frac{1kg}{10^3g}=0.56kg$

Recall that drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver is equal to 1 and air density is $1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}$ .

$v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.56kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}{(1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}(1)(0.0465m^2)}}\\v_t=13.58\frac{m}{s}$

Without drag contribution the motion of the person is an uniformly accelerated motion, thus:

$v_f^2=v_o^2+2gh\\v_f=\sqrt{2gh}\\v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5m)}\\v_f=9.9\frac{m}{s}$

A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2 while traveling at 106.0 km/h. At that speed, the forces resistin

otez555 [7]

Answer:

"1155 N" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration,

$a=3 \ m/s^2$

Forces resisting motion,

$F_f=432 \ N$

Mass,

$m = 241 \ kg$

By using Newton's second law, we get

⇒ $F-F_f=ma$

Or,

⇒ $F=ma+F_f$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $=(3\times 241)+432$

⇒ $=723+432$

⇒ $=1155 \ N$

Why was Thompson's Plum pudding model a significant departure from previous models?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Thomson's cathode-ray tube experiments led him to develop the plum-pudding model, which stated that each atom had positively charged particles spread throughout its negatively charged matter. Reword the statement so it is true. ... More alpha particles were deflected than he expected.

Explanation:

Well.. I hope it helps you..

Just correct me if I'm wrong..
