Why do sound waves move faster through the ground than through the air? a. Particles of matter are packed more loosely in the gr

ound than in the air. b. Particles of matter are packed more tightly in the ground than in the air. c. Air doesn’t contain any particles of matter to transmit sound waves. d. The elevation of the ground is lower than the elevation of the air space.

More dense air is located close to the surface. More dense the medium is, more is the speed of sound. Hence B is correct.

The answer is b.particles of matter are packed more tightly in the ground than in the air. Since particles are packed more tightly together, it can transmit vibration from one particle to the next quickly and it moves four times faster in the ground than the air.

If you were trying to describe the difference between power and work you could say...?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Look to the explanation

Explanation:

<u><em>Work done</em></u> is  is the energy transferred to or from an object by means

of a force acting on the object.

Work is positive if energy transferred to the object, and  work is

negative if energy transferred from the object.

<em>Work = Force in the direction motion of object × its displacement</em>

W=F*s

The SI unit of the work is joule (J)

<u><em>Power</em></u> is the rate of work

<em>Power = work done ÷ time taken</em>

Power = \frac{F*s}{t}

Displacement (s) ÷ time (t) = velocity (v)

<em>Power = Force × velocity</em>

P=F*v

The SI unit of the power is watt (w)

When all else remains the same, what effect would decreasing the focal length have on a convex lens?
aniked [119]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

<u>It would make the lens stronger. </u>

<h3>Explanation;</h3>
  • The focal length is the distance between the optical center or the center of the lens to the focal point of a convex or concave lens.
  • The power of the convex lens is lens ability to undertake refraction or bend light. It is given as the reciprocal of focal length.
  • Power of the lens = 1/ f; therefore the smaller the focal length the higher the power and the larger the focal length the lower the power.
  • Thus; decreasing the focal length of a convex lens makes the lens stronger.

What is required to specify the position of an object?(๑•ᴗ•๑)♡​
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

To describe the motion of any object, we must be able to describe its position x. It reflects it at any particular time. In other words, we need to specify its position relative to the conventional frame of reference.
