Answer:

Lowering the humidity of the air.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for the speed of sound wave is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{\gamma RT}{M}}

Where

\gamma is the adiabatic constant

T is the temperature of air

M is the molecular mass of the gas

or

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{B}{\rho}}

B is the bulk modulus

\rho is the density of the air

As the humidity of the air increases, then the number of water molecules increase. As a result, molar mass decreases and ultimately the speed of sound increases and vice versa.

So, the correct option is (A) " lowering the humidity of the air ". Hence, this is the required solution.

horizontal force pushes block up a 20.0 incline with an initial speed 12.0 m//s. a) how high up the plane does slide before comi
Annette [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of mechanical energy .

initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x m x 12 x 12

= 72 m

This energy will be spent to store potential energy . if h be the height attained

potential energy = mgh , h is vertical height attined by block

= mg l sin20  where l is length up the inclined plane  

for conservation of mechanical energy

initial kinetic energy  = potential energy

72 m = mg l sin20

l = 72 /  g  sin20

= 21.5 m

deceleration on inclined plane = g sin20

= 3.35 m /s²

v = u - at

t = v - u / a

= (12 - 0) / 3.35

= 3.58 s

it will take the same time to come back . total time taken to reach original point = 2 x 3.58

= 7.16 s

Newton's Third Law of Motion relates to action and reaction. Which of the following scenarios accurately names the correct actio
Tomtit [17]
Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So look for a scenario in which something had force applied upon it and the reaction is a force in the opposite direction of the same size.

What is the correct formula for power? A. Power = work / time B. Power = work * time C. Power = force * distance D. Power = work
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

A. Power = Work / Time

Explanation:

Power is the amount of work done over time, or rather the rate of work, which is given by the unit of watts (W). Since work is defined by Force * Displacement, we can also say Power = Force * Displacement / Time.
