Sound waves travel slowest through gases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The three medium present are solids, liquids and gases or vacuum. Out of the three mediums, sound waves travels fastest through liquids as the sound waves can travel easily through liquid medium whereas compared to solids, they are little slower, but when compared to gases, slowest of all the mediums. Medium is one of the factor affecting the propagation of sound waves. Other factors includes temperature, pressure e.t.c.

An electric current of 0.25 A passes through a circuit that has a resistance of

Katen [24]

Answer:

The voltage is V = 37.5 [V]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the current by the resistance.

V = I*R

where:

V = voltage [Volt]

I = current = 0.25[amp]

R = resistance = 150 [ohm]

V = 0.25*150 = 37.5 [V]

1) How is density different than mass?

elixir [45]

Mass is a measure of how much matter there is within an object, typically given in grams. Mass is not affected by gravity, so a given object would have the same mass on earth as in outer space. Density is the amount of mass in an object per a certain amount of volume

A rectangular plate is rotating with a constant angular speed about an axis that passes perpendicularly through one corner, as t

salantis [7]

Answer:

2.07

Explanation:

Since you didn't supply the drawing, here is what I assumed:

A is the corner opposite the axis of rotation

B is one of the remaining two corners

L1 is the side between A & B

Centripetal acceleration is given by:

ac = v^2 / r = (v / r) * (v / r) * r…………1

Also angular speed is

w = v / r,………….2

Substituting (2) in (1) gives:

ac = (v / r) * (v / r) * r……….3

= (v / r)^2 * r

= w^2 * r

Therefore, the angular acceleration at A and at B are given by:

acA = w^2 * rA……..4

acB = w^2 * rB……..5

It is given that:

acA = n * acB…………6

Substituting (4) and (5) into (6) gives:

w^2 * rA = n * w^2 * rB ……….7==>

rA = n * rB……..8

In terms of the sides L1 and L2:

rA = sqrt (L1^2 + L2^2)…….9

and

rB = L2…………10

Considering (8):

n * L2 = sqrt (L1^2 + L2^2)………11

Squaring both sides:

n^2 * L2^2 = L1^2 + L2^2……….12

Dividing by L2^2:

n^2 = L1^2 / L2^2 + L2^2 / L2^2…….13

= (L1 / L2)^2 + 1 ==>

n^2 - 1 = (L1 / L2)^2 ………14==>

L1 / L2 = sqrt (n^2 - 1) ………15

= sqrt (2.30^2 - 1)

= 2.07. . . . . . <<<=== the value of the ratio L1 / L2 when n = 2.30

Answer:

The value is $C = 30729\ c$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power rating of the stove is $P = 4.4 KW = 4.4 *10^{3} \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_1 = 70 \ minutes = 1.167 \ hours$

The rating of the light bulbs is $P_2' = 150 W$

The number is $n = 7$

The power rating of the total bulb is $P_2 = 7 * 150 = 1050 \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_2 = 7 hours$

The power rating of miscellaneous appliance $P_3 = 1.8 \ KW = 1.8 *10^{3} \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_3 = 1 hour$

The power rating of hot water $P = 4 KW = 4 *10^{3} \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_4 = 120 \ minutes = 2 hours$

Generally the total electrical energy used in 1 month is mathematically represented as

$E = P_1 * t_1 * 30 + P_2 * t_2 * 30 + P_3 * t_3 * 30+ P_4 * t_4 * 30$

=> $E = 4.4*10^{3} * 1.167 * 30 + 1050 * 7 * 30 + 1.8 *1 * 30+ 4*10^{3} * 2 * 30$

=> $E = 614598 \ W \cdot h$

=> $E = 614.6 \ K W \cdot h$

Generally the monthly electricity bill is mathematically represented as

$C = 614.6 * 50$

=> $C = 30729\ c$
