We all know that the sound travels faster through solids and then liquids and then through gases.
As far as i know solids are the medium through which the sound travels fast.

But in some websites I saw that as the density increases , the velocity of the sound decreases.If this statement is correct , how come the sound travels fastest through solids (since they have higher density) 

From this it is clear that not only sound as compression wave But also in the form of Shear wave travels in Solids

This makes it easier for sound to travel with higher speed in solids

A pen rolls off a 0.55–meter high table with an initial horizontal velocity of 1.2 meters/second. At what horizontal distance fr
NARA [144]
To find the horizontal distance multiple the horizontal velocity by the time. Since there is no given time it must be calculated using kinematic equation.

Y=Yo+Voyt+1/2at^2
0=.55+0+1/2(-9.8)t^2
-.55=-4.9t^2
sqrt(.55/4.9)=t
t=0.335 seconds

Horizontal distance
=0.335s*1.2m/s
=0.402 meters

A driver with a 0.80-s reaction time applies the brakes, causing the car to have acceleration opposite the direction of motion.
jeka94

Answer:

a) During the reaction time, the car travels 21 m

b) After applying the brake, the car travels 48 m before coming to stop

Explanation:

The equation for the position of a straight movement with variable speed is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t²

where

x: position at time t

v0: initial speed

a: acceleration

t: time

When the speed is constant (as before applying the brake), the equation would be:

x = x0 + v t

a)Before applying the brake, the car travels at constant speed. In 0.80 s the car will travel:

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 0.80 s = <u>21 m  </u>

b) After applying the brake, the car has an acceleration of -7.0 m/s². Using the equation for velocity, we can calculate how much time it takes the car to stop (v = 0):

v = v0 + a* t

0 = 26 m/s + (-7.0 m/s²) * t

-26 m/s / - 7.0 m/s² = t

t = 3.7 s

With this time, we can calculate how far the car traveled during the deacceleration.

x = x0 +v0 t + 1/2 a t²

x = 0m + 26 m/s * 3.7 s - 1/2 * 7.0m/s² * (3.7 s)² = <u>48 m</u>

A cycle track is 500 metres long. Amy completes 10 laps. She travelled at an average speed of 12.5 metres per second. She puts o
yanalaym [24]
The fast lap is irrelevant to the question, because it didn't happen
until after the 9 laps that you're interested in.

To be perfectly technical about it, we don't actually have enough
information to answer the question.  You told us her average speed
for 10 laps, but we don't know anything about how her speed may
have changed during the whole 10 laps.  For all we know, maybe
she took a nap first, and then got up and drove 10 laps at the speed
of 125 metres per second.  That would produce the average speed
of 12.5 metres per second and we would never know it  Why not ?
That's only 280 miles per hour.  Bikes can do that, can't they ?

IF we can assume that Amy maintained a totally steady pace through
the entire 10 laps, then we could say that her average for 9 laps was
also 12.5 metres per second.
