How does sound travel through a medium?

Physics

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".

Initially sliding with a speed of 1.9 m/s, a 1.8 kg block collides with a spring and compresses it 0.35 m before coming to rest.
Alika [10]
Let k =  the force constant of the spring (N/m).

The strain energy (SE) stored in the spring when it is compressed by a distance x=0.35 m is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
     = 0.5*(k N/m)*(0.35 m)²
     = 0.06125k J

The KE (kinetic energy) of the sliding block is
KE = (1/2)*mass*velocity²
     = 0.5*(1.8 kg)*(1.9 m/s)²
     = 3.249 J

Assume that negligible energy is lost when KE is converted into SE.
Therefore
0.06125k = 3.249
k = 53.04 N/m

Answer:  53 N/m  (nearest integer)

xxTIMURxx [149]

The amount of charge that passes per unit time is called <em>electric current</em> .

Current has dimensions of [Charge] / [Time] .

It's measured and described in units of ' Ampere ' .

1 Ampere means 1 Coulomb of charge passing a point every second.

9. A radioisotope has a half-life of 4.50 min and an initial decay rate of 8400 Bq. What will be
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

525 Bq

Explanation:

The decay rate is directly proportional to the amount of radioisotope, so we can use the half-life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

A is the final amount

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is the time,

T is the half life

A = (8400 Bq) (½)^(18.0 min / 4.50 min)

A = (8400 Bq) (½)^4

A = (8400 Bq) (1/16)

A = 525 Bq
