Answer: C. Steel

Explanation: When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting

of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively

high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling

through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about

5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity

of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is

relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave

traveling through lead (which is inelastic) is approximately

1,402 meters per second.

A gas has an initial volume of 2.5 L at a temperature of 275 K and a pressure of 2.1 atm. The pressure of the gas increases to 2

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

2.10L

Explanation:

Given data

V1= 2.5L

T1= 275K

P1= 2.1atm

P2= 2.7 atm

T2= 298K

V2= ???

Let us apply the gas equation

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

substitute into the expression we have

2.1*2.5/275= 2.7*V2/298

5.25/275= 2.7*V2/298

Cross multiply

275*2.7V2= 298*5.25

742.5V2= 1564.5

V2= 1564.5/742.5

V2= 2.10L

Hence the final volume is 2.10L

When you are driving on a rural road, if your right wheels run off the pavement, you should hold the steering wheel firmly and

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

C). Take your foot off the gas pedal. Then brake lightly until you are moving at low speed.

Explanation:

While driving on roads of rural areas, if our right wheel moves off the pavement, we should always hold the steering wheel firmly and then take our foot off the gas pedal, then apply brake lightly until we are moving at a low speed.

When our wheels drift off the pavement area, we should not panic and yank. And instead of turning the wheel back in the left direction towards the road, it is always safer to take off our foot from the gas pedal and then apply brakes slowly. When our vehicle slows down check the incoming traffic behind us and then we should slowly move back on to the pavement.

A ball with a volume of 3 cm3 and a density of 9.0 g/cm3 increases its velocity from 2 m/s to 6 m/s over a 12

V125BC [204]

Answer:

M = ρ V = 9 gm/cm^ 3 * cm^3 = 27 gm

a = (V2 - V1) / t = (6 - 2) m/s / 12 s = 1/3 m/s^2 the acceleration

F = M a = 27 gm * 1/3 m/s^2 = 9 dynes net force applied
