Answer : The medium in which sound travel the fastest is, a steel bar.

Explanation :

Sound waves : It is a type of wave that travels by vibrating molecules in a medium.

The order of sound wave travels is:

Solid > Liquid > Gas

Solid state : It is a state in which the particles are closely packed and does not have any space between them.

Liquid state : It is a state in which the particles are present in random and irregular pattern. The particles are closely arranged but they can move from one place to another.

Gaseous state : It is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them.

From this we conclude that, in solids the molecules are closely spaced that causing sound to travel faster through it.

The order of sound wave travels is:

a steel bar > water > nitrogen gas

Hence, the medium in which sound travel the fastest is, a steel bar.

Through which medium would sound travel fastest water a steel bar or nitrogen? ... The speed of sound in air, of which 78% is nitrogen ~ 340 m/s ... Which medium does sound travel the fastest through air water or steel? .... in steel sound travel faster than water because liquids are more denser than gases but less denser ...

UkoKoshka [18]

Hi there! :)

$\large\boxed{v_{f} = 18 m/s}$

Use the following kinematic equation to solve for the final velocity:

$v_{f} = v_{i} + at$

In this instance, the runner started from rest, so the initial velocity is 0 m/s. We can rewrite the equation as:

$v_{f} = at$

Plug in the given acceleration and time:

$v_{f} = 4.5 * 4 = 18 m/s$

In your own words, explain why sinkholes are very common in Florida. List one use of sinkholes in Florida.

melamori03 [73]

Florida's peninsula is made up of porous carbonate rocks such as limestone When the dirt, clay or sand gets too heavy for the limestone roof, it can break and form a sinkhole. Sinkholes are caused naturally.

dont use my words put this in your own hope it helps you understand it better

A 17 kg box sitting on a shelf has a potential energy of 350 J. How high is the shelf? Round your answer to the nearest whole nu

Free_Kalibri [48]

Potential energy is mass * gravity * height. (m*g*h).

350 = 17*9.8*h <--350 is its energy, 17kg is its mass, and 9.8 is gravity's acceleration on the object. We now just need to solve for h.

h = 350/(17 * 9.8) = 2.1 meters, which, when rounded to the nearest whole meter, is 2 meters.

The shelf is 2 meters high.
