Sound travels  fastest in solids,than liquids, and  faster in liquids, than in gases.
Charra [1.4K]3 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.

When air resistance is ignored, _____ of the projectile affect(s) the range and maximum height of the projectile.
FromTheMoon [43]

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.

Projectile is a missile designed to be fired from a rocket or gun.

A projectile is the object that is propelled by the application of an external force and then moves freely under the influence of gravity and air resistance.

The range is defined as the distance between the launch point and the point where the projectile hits the ground.

The height from the ground at the top most position of projectile is referred to as maximum height.

When air resistance is ignored, initial velocity of the projectile affect the range and maximum height of the projectile.

Antoinette was diagnosed with hypertension, a noncommunicable disease in which her blood pressure is higher than normal. What is
Oxana [17]

Answer:

She was obese and had a diet high in salt intake.

Explanation:

higher blood pressure is condition known as hypertension which is the main cause of many heart problems which can be life threatening. In obese people. high level of fats inside the blood vessels which can cause blockage inside and can lead to heart problems.

high concentration of salts intake also disturbs the salts concentration in the blood vessels. The disturbance in salt concentration is the function of the kidney to remove it. the increase concentration also  cause increase in blood pressure which leads to hypertension.

Dallas says that any change in velocity is directly proportional tothe time interval over which the change took place. Dana says
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

e. Only(a) and (b) above are correct

Explanation:

Impulse

= Fx t = m ( v-u )

v-u = change in velocity

F x t = mass x change in velocity

change in velocity = F t / mass

=a t

change in velocity ∝ t ( time ) , if a is constant

dv = a_avg  dt

∫dv = a_avg ∫dt

v-u = a_avg t

change in velocity ∝ t ( time )

So both (a) and (b) are correct.

If a 0.200-kilogram ball sits on a shelf 2.00 meters from the floor, how much mechanical energy (me) does it possess? More than
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Mechanical energy  = 3.92 J

exactly 3.92 j

Explanation:

As we know that mechanical energy is sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of the system

so here we can say that mechanical energy is sum of kinetic energy of ball and its potential energy

Since ball is at rest so kinetic energy of the ball must be ZERO

Now for potential energy we know that

U = mgh

now we know

m = 0.2 kg

h = 2 m

now for potential ene'rgy

U = (0.20)(9.8)(2)

U = 3.92 J

so mechanical energy is given as

Mechanical Energy = 3.92 + 0 = 3.92 J
