How does sound travel through a medium?

Physics

tigry1 [53]3 years ago

Answer : Particles vibrate parallel to the direction the sound travels.

Explanation :

Sound is a longitudinal wave. The particles of medium moves in the direction of the propagation of the wave. The sound waves requires a medium to travel.

The longitudinal wave propagates in the form of compression and rarefaction. The distance between the compression and the rarefaction is called wavelength.

So, the correct option is (d) "  Particles vibrate parallel to the direction the sound travels".

In the diagram below, point A is southwest of point B. Jaleh walks for 400 seconds along path 1, going from point A to point B.
timama [110]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

velocity = displacement (m) / change of time (s)

velocity = (400 + 300) / (100 + 400)

velocity = 1.4 m/s

The potential difference across a resistor increases by a factor of 2. How does the current change? (Ohm's law: V = IR) A. It de
Sedaia [141]
The answer is C.

The question says the potential difference is what is changing, which means we're solving for V.

It tells us that potential difference increases by a factor of two, which just means V doubles.

With this info, we can pick some numbers, plug it into Ohms law and see what happens.

Here's an example where I just picked random numbers that are easy to work with:

V=I*R
10=I*5
I=2
Lets increase the potential difference (V) by a factor of two and see what happens to current:
V=I*R
20=I*5 (all I've done is double the potential difference from 10 to 20)
I=4

When we increase V by a factor of 2, I increases by a factor of 2. We went from I=2 to I=4.
We can increase V by factor of 2 again and see:
V=I*R
40=I*5
I=8

Okay, current just increased by a factor of 2 again when we increased the potential difference by a factor of 2.

It's always good to check work with alternate numbers, so here's one more set:
V=I*R
16=I*4
(remember, we know we're solving for V, so I'm just plugging in random numbers for I and R)
I=4
Increase V by factor of 2:
32=I*4
I=8

So, when we increase V (the potential difference) by a factor of 2, I (current) always increases by a factor of 2 as well.

Hope this helps!
