Sound travels  fastest in solids,than liquids, and  faster in liquids, than in gases.
Charra [1.4K]2 years ago

Answer:

Sound travels fastest in solids

Explanation:

Sound is a type of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in the medium the wave is travelling through.

The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium: the higher the density, the higher the speed. This is because in a medium with higher density, atoms/molecules are closer together, so they collide more frequently and therefore the wave can be transmitted faster and more efficiently.

Since solids have higher density than liquids and gases, this also means that mechanical waves (so, sound as well) travel faster in solids than liquids or gases.

Suppose an automobile has 2000-joules of kinetic energy. when it moves at twice the speed, what will be its kinetic energy? what
NeX [460]

Answer:

K.Eₓ = 4 K.E

K.Eₓ = 9 K.E

Explanation:

Th formula for the kinetic energy of a body is given as follows:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\   ---------------equation (1)

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy of Automobile

m = mass of automobile

v = speed of automobile

For twice speed:

vₓ = 2v

then,

K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{x}^2\\K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2\\K.E_{x} = 4\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\

using equation (1):

<u>K.Eₓ = 4 K.E</u>

For thrice speed:

vₓ = 3v

then,

K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{x}^2\\K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}m(3v)^2\\K.E_{x} = 9\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\

using equation (1):

<u>K.Eₓ = 9 K.E</u>

Enzyme reaction and deactivation Lipase is being investigated as an additive to laundry detergent for removal of stains from fab
natita [175]

Answer:

t= 27.38 mins [this the time taken by the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present]

Explanation:given values

Half life of lipase t_1/2 = 8 min x 60s/min = 480 s

Rate constant for first order reaction

k_d = 0.6932/480 = 1.44 x 10^-3 s-1

Initial fat concentration S_0 = 45 mol/m3 = 45 mmol/L

rate of hydrolysis Vm0 = 0.07 mmol/L/s

Conversion X = 0.80

Final concentration S = S_0(1-X) = 45 (1-0.80) = 9 mol/m3

K_m = 5mmol/L

time take is given by

t= -\frac{1}{K_d}ln[1-\frac{K_d}{V_m_0}(k_mln\frac{s_0}{s}+(s_0-s))]

all values are given and putting these value we get

t=1642.83 secs

which is equal to

t= 27.38 mins [this the time taken by the enzyme to hydrolyse 80% of the fat present]

What is the direction of the centripetal force when applied to an object?
mihalych1998 [28]
For an object moving in a path that's a circle or a part of one,
the centripetal force acts in the direction toward the center of
the circle.  That direction is perpendicular to the way the object
is moving.

What is the equation for net force
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Is to add all forces, for example either the gf = gravitational force

Ff= force fiction

Fn= normal force

Thus, fg + ff + fn = y will give you results

Well then the forces you use in your exercises or questions.
