Answer:

Sound travels fastest through solids.

Explanation:

This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air.

Answer:

Probability of tunneling is $10^{- 1.17\times 10^{32}}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of the tennis ball, v = 120 mph = 54 m/s

Mass of the tennis ball, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg

Thickness of the tennis ball, t = 2.0 mm = $2.0\times 10^{- 3}\ m$

Max velocity of the tennis ball, $v_{m} = 200\ mph$ = 89 m/s

Now,

The maximum kinetic energy of the tennis ball is given by:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv_{m}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.1\times 89^{2} = 396.05\ J$

Kinetic energy of the tennis ball, KE' = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = 0.5\times 0.1\times 54^{2} = 154.8\ m/s$

Now, the distance the ball can penetrate to is given by:

$\eta = \frac{\bar{h}}{\sqrt{2m(KE - KE')}}$

$\bar{h} = \frac{h}{2\pi} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{2\pi} = 1.0545\times 10^{- 34}\ Js$

Thus

$\eta = \frac{1.0545\times 10^{- 34}}{\sqrt{2\times 0.1(396.05 - 154.8)}}$

$\eta = 1.52\times 10^{-35}\ m$

Now,

We can calculate the tunneling probability as:

$P(t) = e^{\frac{- 2t}{\eta}}$

$P(t) = e^{\frac{- 2\times 2.0\times 10^{- 3}}{1.52\times 10^{-35}}} = e^{-2.63\times 10^{32}}$

$P(t) = e^{-2.63\times 10^{32}}$

Taking log on both the sides:

$logP(t) = -2.63\times 10^{32} loge$

$P(t) = 10^{- 1.17\times 10^{32}}$

Open clusters have a tendency to be blue in color. They frequently include glowing gas and dust. The stars in an open cluster are young stars that all formed from the equal nebula. These warm blue stars are in an open cluster known as the Jewel Bo

<h3>Are stars in the identical cluster?</h3>

Though stellar associations are grouped in with megastar clusters, they're pretty a bit different. "Stellar associations are companies of tens to hundreds of stars that have similar a while and metallicities, and are moving in roughly the equal direction within the galaxy, but are no longer gravitationally bound," Geller said.
