How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?

Physics
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
7 0

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles. As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed. Therefore the vibration is quicker in solids than liquids.

Hope it helps you! :)

Two long, parallel wires carry currents of different magnitudes. If the amount of current in one of the wires is doubled, what h
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force that each wire exerts on the other will increase by a factor of two.

Explanation:

force on parallel current carrying wire, F = BILsinθ

where;

B is the strength of the magnetic field

L is the length of the wire

I is the magnitude of current on the wire

θ is the angle of inclination of the wire

Assuming B, L and θ is constant, then F ∝ I

F = kI

\frac{F_1}{I_1} = \frac{F_2}{I_2}

When the amount of current is doubled in one of the wires, lets say the second wire;

\frac{F_1}{I_1} = \frac{F_2}{2I_1} \\\\F_2 = \frac{2F_1I_1}{I_1} \\\\F_2 =2F_1

Also, if will double the amount of current on the first wire, then

F₁ = 2F₂

Therefore, the magnitude of the force that each wire exerts on the other will increase by a factor of two.

If two opposite charges get farther apart, does their attraction for each other increase, decrease, or remain the same?​
wlad13 [49]

The force between them <em>decreases</em><em>,</em> as the square of the distance.

For example ...

-- If you move them apart to double the original distance, the force becomes (1/2²) = 1/4 of the original force.

-- If you move them apart to 3 times the original distance, the force becomes (1/3²) = 1/9 of the original force.

-- If you move them apart to 5 times the original distance, the force becomes  (1/5²) = 1/25 of the original force.

(Gravity works exactly the same way.)

"Nuclear fission is the splitting of electrons in the outer shell of an atom." True or False?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

False

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the splitting of nucleus of an atom which results in the emission of high amount of energy.

<u>Example:</u>

Heavy atom (i.e. uranium) when bombarded with neutrons, its nucleus split into smaller lighter weight nuclei and release a huge amount of energy. (Nuclear fission also takes place without neutrons i.e. in the form of radioactive decay (the process in which an unstable nucleus of an atom releases energy in the form of radiation)).

Sound travels at a speed of about 340m/s in the air. How long will it take an explosion to be heard from a distance of 20 miles
Goryan [66]

First convert the speed of sound from meters/second to miles/second:

340\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\cdot\dfrac{3.281\,\mathrm{ft}}{1\,\mathrm m}\cdot\dfrac{1\,\mathrm{mi}}{5280\,\mathrm{ft}}=0.21\,\dfrac{\mathrm{mi}}{\mathrm s}

Then the time it takes for the sound to travel 20 miles is

\dfrac{20\,\mathrm{mi}}{0.21\,\frac{\mathrm{mi}}{\mathrm s}}=95\,\mathrm s
