Chemistry

ivanzaharov [21]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as solids, liquids and gases. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly.Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves. A vibrating string can create longitudinal waves as depicted in the animation below.

AfilCa [17]

Answer: 2m/s^2

Explanation:

Velocity of skateboard = 20.0 m/s.

Time taken = Ten seconds (10 s)

Acceleration ​= ?

Recall that acceleration is the change in velocity of a body per unit time.

i.e Acceleration = (velocity / Time)

Acceleration = 20.0m/s ➗ 10 s

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

Thus, Jeffrey acceleration was 2m/s^2
