Why is salt water a better conductor of electricity than river water?

Physics
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]4 years ago

Answer: The conductivity of water depends on the concentration of dissolved ions in solution. ... This is because the Sodium Chloride salt dissociates into ions. Hence sea water is about a million times more conductive than fresh water.

Answer:

41.0 m/s, 10.6 s

Explanation:

Given:

a = -4.8 m/s²

Δy = 165 m

v = -10.0 m/s

Find: v₀ and t

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(-10.0 m/s)² = v₀² + 2(-4.8 m/s²) (165 m)

v₀ = 41.0 m/s

Δy = vt − ½ at²

165 m = (-10.0 m/s) t − ½ (-4.8 m/s²) t²

165 = -10t + 2.4t²

0 = 2.4t² − 10t − 165

Solve with quadratic formula:

t = [ -(-10) ± √((-10)² − 4(2.4)(-165)) ] / 2(2.4)

t = (10 ± √1684) / 4.8

t = 10.6 s

"a musical tone sounded on a piano has a frequency of 261.6 hz and a wavelength of 1.31 m. what is the speed of the sound wave
Andreyy89
To solve this question, we use the wave equation which is:
C=f*λ
where:
C is the speed;
f is the frequency;
λ is the wavelength
So in this case, plugging in our values in the problem. This will give us:
C = 261.6Hz × 1.31m
= 342.696 m/s is the answer.
