Answer: Third option; "travels slower in solids because particles are close together"

Explanation: While in the air the particles are very freely and the sound does not need to do a lot of work, in a dense material this is not the case. The particles are more close together, and this causes that in a fixed distance, the sound wave needs to move more particles in a solid than in the air. This makes the sound wave to travel slower when it is in a solid.

A brass washer has an outside diameter of 4.50 cm with a hole of diameter 1.25 cm and is 1.50 mm thick. The density of brass is
-Dominant- [34]
We will find the mass from 
mass = density x volume 
We are told the density and must find the volume from the dimensions given 
the volume of the washer will be the area x thickness (remembering to convert all measurements to meters) 
if the washer had no hole, its area would be pi (0.0225m)^2 (remember to convert to meters and to use radius) 
the area of the hole is pi(0.00625m)^2 
so the area of the washer is pi[(0.0225m)^2 - (0.00625m)^2] = 1.5x10^-3 m 
the volume of the washer is 1.5x10^-3 m x 1.5x10^-3 m = 2.25x10^-6 m^3 (the thickness of the washer is 1.5 mm = 1.5x10^-3m) 
thus, the mass of the washer = 8598kg/m^3 x 2.25x10^-6m^3 = 0.0189kg = 18.9 grams

Which scenario will drain the battery in the circuit diagram fastest: three 20 W bulbs in positions one, two, and three or 80 W
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

If you connect the three bulbs 20 W each will have a total power of 60W.

Now we need to understand to assign the meaning of the word gap, that is, if the circuit is open at that point or if there is no bulb connected at that point.

If the circuit is open at Point 2, there will be no current in the circuit, so the battery will drain faster with the three bulbs 20W.

In the second event, where gap means that there are no bulbs connected at that point, it means that you have two bulbs connected in series of 80W each.

In this case the bulbs will consume 160W thus drain the battery faster than the three 20W bulbs connected in series.
