The correct answer is Reagan is right because sound waves are compressional waves.

Reason is because Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves, also called compression waves. It requires a medium to propagate. Through solids, however, it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The answer is "82.2 torr"

Explanation:

moles of Xe:

= \frac{0.06}{131.293} \\\\ =0.00045699313 \ \mol

moles of F_2:

= \frac{0.0274}{38} \\\\= 0.00072105263\ \  mol

moles of produced XeF_2:

= 0.00024

moles of left Xe:

= 0.00021

Calculate the Pressure:

= \frac{(0.08206\times 0.00024 \times 293)}{(.1)}   + \frac{(0.08206\times  0.00021 \times  293)}{(.1)} \\\\= 0.10819611 \ \ atm \\\\ = 0.10819611 \times  760 \\\\ = 82.2 \ \ torr

A wire with a linear mass density of 1.17 g/cm moves at a constant speed on a horizontal surface and the coefficient of kinetic
stira [4]

Answer:

The value is B  =  0.2312 \  T

The direction is into the surface

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass density is  \mu =\frac{m}{L}  = 1.17 \ g/cm =0.117 kg/m

   The coefficient of kinetic friction is  \mu_k  =  0.250

   The current the wire carries is  I =  1.24 \  A

Generally the magnetic force acting on the wire is mathematically represented as

         F_F   = F_B

Here   F_F is the frictional  force which is mathematically represented as

      F_F =  \mu_k *  m *  g

While F_B  is the magnetic force which is mathematically represented as

       F_B  = BILsin(\theta )

Here \theta =90^o is the angle between the direction of the force and that of the current

So

      F_B  = BIL

So

      BIL  =  \mu_k * m * g

=>   B  =  \mu_k *  \frac{m}{L} * [\frac{g}{I} ]

=>   B  =  0.25 *  0.117  * [\frac{9.8}{1.24} ]

=>   B  =  0.2312 \  T

Apply the right hand curling rule , the thumb pointing towards that direction of the current we see that the direction of the magnetic field is into the surface as shown on the first uploaded image

During a lab investigation, students added four 50 g masses to two boxes and arranged the boxes so that they were motionless on
IceJOKER [234]

When the resultant force is not equal to zero termed an unbalanced force. By procedures 4 and 5 students observe an unbalanced upward force on Box 1. Hence option 1 is right for the problem.

<h3>What is an unbalanced force?</h3>

The forces operating on a body are known as unbalanced forces when the resulting force exerted on it is not equal to zero.

Unbalanced forces acting on the body, causing it to modify its state of motion. To further grasp the nature of imbalanced forces.

<h3 />

The following reasons by which we can understand the unbalanced force caused by the box.

Due to these two reasons, books will move up.

By adding another mass to box 2. The box becomes lighter. As the box becomes lighter the gravity force acting on the box will be less due to which the box easily can move up.

By removing the two masses from box 1. Due to which other become heavier other becomes heavier pulling it down causing box 1 one to go up.

Hence by procedures 4 and 5 students observe an unbalanced upward force on Box 1. Hence option 1 is right for the problem.

To learn more about the unbalanced force refer to the link;
