The closer the particles, the more will be the propogation of sound waves. Room contains air molecules which are far away from each other. So it takes much time for one molecule of air to disturb the other one. But in case of solids, as particles are much closer(compared to fluids), disturbance generated by one molecule is quickly transmitted to the next molecule
Answer:
Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s
Explanation:
Given data,
The river flowing south at the rate, v = 3 m/s
To reach the other side directly across the river, he aims the raft, Ф = 30°
The speed of his raft across the river is given by the formula,
V = v / Sin Ф
= 3 / Sin 30°
= 6 m/s
Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s
