In solids, particles or atom are very closely arranged compared to gasses. When these particles are arranged in such proximity, vibrations from sound are very easily transmitted from one particle to another in the solid. Hence, the sound vibrations can travel through the solid medium more quickly than through a gas medium.
Speed of sound also depends on its frequency and the wavelength.

A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 94.5 km/h except for a 22.0 min rest stop. If the person's average speed
qwelly [4]
From the average speed you can fix an equation:

Average speed = distance / time

You know the average speed = 65.1 kg / h, then

65.1 = distance / total time,

where total time is the time traveling plus 22.0 minutes

Call t the time treavelling and pass 22 minutes to hours:

65.1 = distance / [t + 22/60] ==> distance = [t + 22/60]*65.1

 
From the constant speed, you can fix a second equation

Constant speed = distance / time traveling

94.5 = distance / t ==> distance = 94.5 * t

The distance is the same in both equations, then you have:

[t +22/60] * 65.1 = 94.5 t

Now you can solve for t.

65.1t + 22*65.1/60 = 94.5t

94.5t - 65.1t = 22*65.1/60

29.4t = 23.87

t = 23.87 / 29.4

t  = 0.812 hours

distance = 94.5 km/h * 0.812 h = 76.7 km

Answers: 1) 0.81 hours, 2) 76.7 km

Which statement best describes how the period and frequency of electromagnetic waves change between gamma rays and microwaves?
Dimas [21]
On an electromagnetic spectrum, one of its noticeable trends is that the wavelength increases with decreasing energy and the wavelength decrease with increasing energy. Furthermore, gamma rays have high energy and short wavelengths while microwaves have low energy and long wavelengths.
