C. Travels slower in solids because the particles are closer together.

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.

When objects exchange charge, why do we say it's the negative charge that moves and not the positive?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

It is said that the negative charge moves because the electrons in the atoms of any object are taken or given to the atoms of another object.

Explanation:

The atom is made up of protons, electrons and neutrons. The number of protons is exactly the same to the number of electrons for a certain element. For example, hydrogen: it has a proton, and therefore, an electron.

The electron has a negative charge. The proton has a positive charge. And the neutron has no charge, so it is neutral. While the atom has the same number of protons and electrons, it will not be electrically charged.

An example of how a charge exchange occurs between two objects is through the case of rubbing. This makes the atoms of the two objects close enough that there is an electron transfer, causing any of the objects to gain or lose electrons as a consequence of each other interaction. In the case of transferring electrons, the atom will have a greater number of protons, so it will be positively charged. When the atom receive electrons, it will have a greater number of electrons, so it will be negatively charged.

Therefore, since it is the electrons that move from one atom to another, then it is the negative charge that moves (<em>characterized by the electrons</em>) and not the positive charge (<em>characterized by the protons</em>).

Which statement bet explains the relationship between the electric force between two charged objects and the distance between th
Nataliya [291]
Coulomb's Law: Force = k x q1x q2 divided distance square
where k=9x10^9 , q1 and q2 are the charge
So if you distance is halved, your force is stronger by 4 times
and if you distance is doubled, your force is 1/4
Ask me again if you aren't clear :)

How much force is needed to lift a 25-kg mass at a constant verlocity?
Troyanec [42]

-- In order to achieve constant verlocity, the net force on the mass must be zero.  So if there ARE any forces acting on it, they must be balanced.

-- There is already a force on the mass that can't be eliminated . . . the force of gravity.

-- That force due to gravity is (mass x gravity) = (25 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = <em><u>245N</u></em> in the <u><em>downward</em></u> direction.

-- In order to 'balance' the forces and make them add up to zero, we have to provide another force of <em>245N</em>, all in the <em>upward</em> direction.

-- Then the forces on the object will be balanced, the NET force on it will be zero, and whichever way you start it moving, it will continue to move at a cornstant verlocity.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

10.6cm

Explanation:

We are given 5.3cm below the starting point (spring extension).

Therefore, to find static vertical equilibrium, we use the equation:

kx = mg

Where:

k = spring constant =

=mg/5.3 kg/s²

We are told the object was dropped from rest.

Therefore:

loss in potential energy = gain in spring p.e

Let's use the expression:

mgx = ½kx²

We are asked to find the stretch at maximum elongation x.

To find x, we make x subject of the formula.

Therefore, we have:

x = 2mg/k (after rearranging the equation above)

x = (2mg) / (mg/5.3)

x = 10.6cm
