What happens when the density of a medium increases

Physics

Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago

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

Which represents the net force
ipn [44]

Answer:

The net force is 500N downwards

Explanation:

When Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.  

Fp = 5500N

Fg = 6000N

because the force of gravity is more than the force of the pull.

Fnet = Fg - Fp = 6000N - 5500N = 500N

And, the direction of the resultant force is the direction of the larger force.

Evaluate the gravitational potential energy between two 5.00-kg spherical steel balls separated by a center-tocenter distance of
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

U = 8.30×10-⁹J

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = 5.00kg masses of the spheres

d = 15.0cm = 15×10-²m

r = 5.10cm = 5.10×10-²m

R = d + r = 15×10-² + 5.10×10-²

R = 20.10 ×10-²m = 0.201m

G = 6.67×10-¹¹Nm²/kg²

U = Gm1×m2/R = potential energybetween the spheres

U = 6.67×10-¹¹×5.00×5.00/0.201

U = 8.30×10-⁹J

Air conditioners sold in the United States are given a seasonal energy-efficiency ratio (SEER) rating that consumers can use to
amid [387]

Answer:

112.58

Explanation:

The Coefficient of Performance of any system is denoted by COP=Q/W, where Q is the useful heat supplied or removed and W is the work required by the system. According to the first law of thermoddynamics Qh= Qc + W, where Qh is the heat transfered to the hot reservoir and Qc is the heat collected from the cold reservoir. Substituting the values for W and apllying the limitation for maximum theoretical efficiency we end up with the eqution shown below.

The Coefficient of Performance of air conditioner or COP is denoted by

COP(cool) = Tc/(Th- Tc)

where Tc: the lowest temperature

           Th: the highest temperature

converting the values to Kelvin and adding them in the above equation

COP(cool) = (25+273)/((34+273)-(25+273))

                 = 298/(307-298)

                 = 298/9 = 33.11

From the question, it is stated that COP=SEER/3.4

hence, SEER= COP * 3.4

SEER= 33.11 * 3.4 = 112.58

A 21 g ball is shot from a spring gun whose spring has a force constant of 579 N/m. The spring can be compressed 1 cm. How high
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The answer  to the question is

The ball will go 0.14 meters high if the gun is aimed vertically

Explanation:

The energy in the spring → Energy, E = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

Where E = energy in the spring

k = Spring constant

x = Spring compression or stretch

Therefore E = \frac{1}{2} 579*0.01^2 = 0.02895 J

The spring energy is transferred  to the ball as kinetic energy based on the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy is neither created nor destroyed

Kinetic energy = KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

From which v = \sqrt{\frac{2*KE}{m} } = \sqrt{\frac{2*0.02895}{0.021} } = 1.66 m/s

from v² =u² - 2·a·S

Where v = final velocity = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity = 1.66 m/s

a = g = Acceleration due to gravity

S = height

Therefore 0 = 1.66² - 2×9.81×S

or S = 1.66² ÷ (2×9.81) = 0.14 m
