The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported.

Sound travels fastest through solids, slower through liquids and slowest through gases. 

So it will travel slowest through water at 55 degrees

Answer:

water at 55°C

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical wave, which travels through a medium by the vibrations of the particles in the medium, which collide with each other, allowing the sound wave to propagate through the medium.

Based on this explanation, we can understand two facts:

1) sound waves travel faster in solids than in liquids. This is because the particles inside a solid are much closer together than in a liquid, so the wave can be transferred faster because there are more collisions between the particles of the solid

2) The speed of a sound wave increases as the temperature increases. This is because at higher temperatures, particles move faster, so the wave can be transmitted faster.

Therefore, #1 tells us that sound travels slower in water than in ice, while #2 tells us that sound travels slower at 55°C  than at 75°C . Therefore, sound travels slowest in water at 55°C .

A circuit has a 10 Ω resistor connected to a 1.5 V dry cell. What is the current that can flow in the circuit?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Here is the highly detailed, arcane, complex, technical form of Ohm's Law that is needed in order to answer this question  ===>  I = V / R  .

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current = (1.5 V) / (10 Ω)

<em>Current = 0.15 Ampere</em>

Which energy transfer occurs when a cube of ice is placed in a glass of<br> water?
Daniel [21]
Acetic acid is a weak acid and sodium hydroxide is strong base. Salts of the two will hydrolyse to give basic solution. So, at neutral point, pH of the solution will be greater than 8.

How much heat is absorbed by 20g granite boulder as energy from the sun causes its temperature to chage from 10C to 29 c (Specif
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Q = 266 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 20g

Initial temperature = 10°C

Final temperature = 29°C

Specific heat capacity of granite = 0.1 Cal/g°C to J/g°C = 0.7J/g°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = 20*0.7*(29-10)

Q = 14 * 19

Q = 266 Joules

A _________ engine operates using a three-sided metal rotor instead of the traditional piston-and-cylinder arrangement.
postnew [5]

That's a description of what makes the "Wankel engine" unique.

When it first came to the USA market, it came as the guts of a
new brand of car . . . the Mazda.  I don't know if some, or all, or
none of today's Mazdas still use the Wankel 'rotary' engine.
