That's a molecule of the substance. You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original 'compound'.
Here's an example:
-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.
-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.
When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride". That's SALT ! It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.
The sound wave will have traveled 2565 m farther in water than in air.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is known that distance covered by any object is directly proportional to the velocity of the object and the time taken to cover that distance.
Distance = Velocity × Time.
So if time is kept constant, then the distance covered by a wave can vary depending on the velocity of the wave.
As we can see in the present case, the velocity of sound wave in air is 343 m/s. So in 2.25 s, the sound wave will be able to cover the distance as shown below.
Distance = 343 × 2.25 =771.75 m
And for the sound wave travelling in fresh water, the velocity is given as 1483 m/s. So in a time interval of 2.25 s, the distance can be determined as the product of velocity and time.
Distance = 1483×2.25=3337 m.
Since, the velocity of sound wave travelling in fresh water is greater than the sound wave travelling in air, the distance traveled by sound wave in fresh water will be greater.
Difference in distance covered in water and air = 3337-772 m = 2565 m
So the sound wave will have traveled 2565 m farther in water than in air.
|Acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change).
Change in speed = (6 mi/hr - 25 mi/hr) = -19 mi/hr
Time for the change = 10 sec
|Acceleration| = (-19 mi/hr) / (10 sec) = -1.9 mile per hour per second
Admittedly, that's a rather weird unit.
Other units, perhaps more comfortable ones, are:
-6,840 mi/hr²
-2.79 feet/sec²
