Why does sound travel faster under water??

1 answer:

5 0

In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

P6: An object of mass m sits on a spring of constant k in an elevator that is accelerating upwards with acceleration a. a) In te

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(a). The spring compressed is $\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ .

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = a

mass = m

spring constant = k

(a). We need to calculate the spring compressed

Using balance equation

$kx-mg=ma$

$x=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ ....(I)

The spring compressed is $\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ .

(b). If the compression is 2.5 times larger than it is when the mass sits in a still elevator,

The compression is given by

$x=2.5\times x_{0}$

Here, acceleration is zero

So, $x=2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Put the value of x in equation (I)

$2.5\times \dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$

$2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{m}{k}(a+g)$

$a=2.5g-g$

$a=1.5g$

Hence, (a). The spring compressed is $\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ .

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.

As the concentration of a solute in a solution increases, the freezing point of the solution ________ and the vapor pressure of

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

As the concentration of a solute in a solution increases, the freezing point of the solution decrease and the vapor pressure of the solution decrease .

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point :

$\Delta T_f=K_f\times m$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ =depression in freezing point =

$K_f$ = freezing point constant

m = molality ( moles per kg of solvent) of the solution

As we can see that from the formula that higher the molality of the solution is directly proportionate to the depression in freezing point which means that:

If molality of the solution in high the depression in freezing point of the solution will be more.
If molality of the solution in low the depression in freezing point of teh solution will be lower .

Relative lowering in vapor pressure of the solution is given by :

$\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\chi_{solute}$

$p_o$ = Vapor pressure of pure solvent

$p_s$ = Vapor pressure of solution

$\chi_{solute}$ = Mole fraction of solute

$p_s\propto \frac{1}{\chi_{solute}}$

Vapor pressure of the solution is inversely proportional to the mole fraction of solute.

Higher the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and decrease in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.
lower the concentration of solute more will the be solute's mole fraction and increase in vapor pressure of the solution will be observed.
