Answer: solids.

Explanation:

1) These are some values of the speed of sound in different media:


In air 343 m/s (approximate as it depends on the temperature and humidity)
In water 1,484 m/s 
In iron 5,120 m/s

In diamond 12,000 m/s

2) Sound waves are disturbances (pulses) that propagates by the collision of particles in the media.

Since, the partilces in solids are closer than the particles in liquids, and these are closer than the particles in gases, the order of the propagation of the sound is: 

Faster in solids than in liquids, faster in liquids than in gases.

Compare the forces in a small nucleus to the forces in a large nucleus
pochemuha
The comparison of the forces in a small nucleus to the forces of a large one is the fact that they are capable of holding the protons and neutrons which made it no matter what their size may be. Therefore, as long as there is a nucleus, their forces can both hold together the two atoms tight.

A car, starting from the origin, travels
sweet [91]

Answer:

The net displacement of the car is 3 km West

Explanation:

Please see the attached drawing to understand the car's trajectory: First in the East direction for 4 km (indicated by the green arrow that starts at the origin (zero), and stops at position 4 on the right (East).

Then from that position, it moves back towards the West going over its initial path, it goes through the origin and continues for 3 more km completing a moving to the West a total of 7 km. This is indicated in the drawing with an orange trace that end in position 3 to the left (West) of zero.

So, its NET displacement considered from the point of departure (origin at zero) to the final point where the trip ended, is 3 km to the west.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards from the edge of the cliff and hits the ground at the base of the cliff with a speed of 30 m
olya-2409 [2.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.

v = v_0 -gt

Here,

v = Final velocity

v_0 = Initial velocity

g = Acceleration due to gravity

t = Time

At t = 4s, v = -30m/s (Downward)

Therefore the initial velocity will be

-30 = v_0 -9.8(4)

v_0 = 9.2m/s

Now the position can be calculated as,

y = h +v_0t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2

When it has the ground, y=0 and the time is t=4s,

0 = h+(9.2)(4)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(4)^2

h = 41.6m

Therefore the cliff was initially to 41.6m from the ground

A bird is traveling west with a velocity of 8 m/s and momentum of 40 mg*m/s what's the birds mass?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

m = 5 [mg]

Explanation:

We must remember that the definition of linear momemtum is defined as the product of mass by distance.

P = m*v

P = momentum = 40 [mg*m/s]

m = mass [mg]

v = velocity = 8 [m/s]

Now clearing m:

m = P/v

m = 40/8

m = 5 [mg]
