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.

When a 25-kg crate is pushed across a frictionless horizontal floor with a force of 200 N, directed 20 below the horizontal, th
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Option E is correct 310N

Explanation:

Given that the force used to push the crate is F = 200N

The force directed 20° below the horizontal

Mass of crate is m = 25kg

Weight of the crate can be determine using

W = mg

g is gravitational constant =9.8m/s²

W = 25×9.8

W = 245 N

Check attachment. For free body diagram and better understanding

Using newton second law along the vertical axis since we want to find the normal force

ΣFy = m•ay

ay = 0, since the body is not moving in the vertical or y direction

N—W—F•Sin20 = 0

N = W+F•Sin20

N = 245+ 200Sin20

N = 245 + 68.4

N = 313.4 N

The normal force is approximately 310 N to the nearest ten

6. A golf ball is hit a distance of 300 yards in 10 sec. What is the speed of the golf ballo
katen-ka-za [31]

The speed of the ball is 27.4 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of an object is given by:

speed=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have:

d = 300 yards is the distance covered by the golf ball

t = 10 s is the time taken

Keeping in mind that

1 yard = 0.914 m

We can convert the distance from yards to meters:

d = 300 \cdot 0.914 = 274.2 m

And substituting into the equation, we find the speed of the ball:

speed=\frac{274.2}{10}=27.4 m/s

If a star with an absolute magnitude of -5 has an apparent magnitude of +5 ,then its distance is
klio [65]
You asked a question.  I'm about to answer it. 
Sadly, I can almost guarantee that you won't understand the solution. 
This realization grieves me, but there is little I can do to change it. 
My explanation will be the best of which I'm capable.


Here are the Physics facts I'll use in the solution:

-- "Apparent magnitude" means how bright the star appears to us.

-- "Absolute magnitude" means the how bright the star WOULD appear
if it were located 32.6 light years from us (10 parsecs).

-- A change of 5 magnitudes means a 100 times change in brightness,
so each magnitude means brightness is multiplied or divided by  ⁵√100 .
That's about  2.512... .  

-- Increasing magnitude means dimmer.
Decreasing magnitude means brighter.
+5 is 10 magnitudes dimmer than -5 .

-- Apparent brightness is inversely proportional to the square
of the distance from the source (just like gravity, sound, and
the force between charges).

That's all the Physics.  The rest of the solution is just arithmetic.
____________________________________________________

-- The star in the question would appear M(-5) at a distance of
32.6 light years. 

-- It actually appears as a M(+5).  That's 10 magnitudes dimmer than M(-5),
because of being farther away than 32.6 light years.

-- 10 magnitudes dimmer is ( ⁵√100)⁻¹⁰ = (100)^(-2) .

-- But brightness varies as the inverse square of distance,
so that exponent is (negative double) the ratio of the distances,
and the actual distance to the star is

(32.6) · (100)^(1) light years

= (32.6) · (100) light years

=  approx.  3,260 light years .   (roughly 1,000 parsecs)


I'll have to confess that I haven't done one of these calculations
in over 50 years, and I'm not really that confident in my result.
If somebody's health or safety depended on it, or the success of
a space mission, then I'd be strongly recommending that you get
a second opinion.
But, quite frankly, I do feel that mine is worth the 5 points.
