<h2>Answer: an underground lake</h2>

Explanation:

In general, sound (mechanical waves) travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. This is because <u>the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium </u>in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium (that is:<u>density</u>).

In other words: The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which the sound waves travel.

So, if we are told the sound wave initially had a speed of 4,000 m/s and it suddenly decreases to 1,500 m/s, this means the sound waves passed from a solid medium to a liquid medium.

Hence, the correct option is: an underground lake.

Vector A⃗ points in the positive y direction and has a magnitude of 12 m. Vector B⃗ has a magnitude of 33 m and points in the ne
gavmur [86]

vector A has magnitude 12 m and direction +y

so we can say

\vec A = 12 \hat j

vector B has magnitude 33 m and direction - x

\vec B = -33 \hat i

Now the resultant of vector A and B is given as

\vec A + \vec B = 12 \hat j - 33 \hat i

now for direction of the two vectors resultant will be given as

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{12}{-33}

\theta = 160 degree

so it is inclined at 160 degree counterclockwise from + x axis

magnitude of A and B will be

R = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2}

R = \sqrt{12^2 + 33^2} = 35.11 m

so magnitude will be 35.11 m

An airplane flies with a constant speed of 560 miles per hour. How far can it travel in 1 1/2 hours?
Alik [6]
You would multiply the speed by the time. So the answer would be 840 miles.

A block of mass m=1kg sliding along a rough horizontal surface is traveling at a speed v0=2m/s when it strikes a massless spring
topjm [15]

Here we can use the work energy theorem

W_f + W_s = K_f - K_i

here we know that

K_f = 0

as it come to rest finally

K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

K_i = \frac{1}{2}\times 1\times 2^2

K_i = 2 J

now work done by friction force will be given as

W_f = - F_f \times d = -\mu mg d

W_f = - \mu(1)(9.8)(0.10) = - 0.98\mu

Work done by spring force is given as

W_s = \frac{1}{2}k(x_i^2 - x_f^2)

W_s = \frac{1}{2}(10)( 0 - 0.10^2)

W_s = -0.05 J

so now plug in all data above

- 0.05 - \mu(0.98) = 0 - 2

\mu = 1.99

so above is the friction coefficient
