Sound travels faster through rigid material like steel rather than through spongy materials like rubber. Why?

Physics

drek231 [11]3 years ago

<span>since sound travels using mechanical waves and needs a material medium to propagate and since mechanical waves spread through vibrations ...and since hard materials have their atoms packed closely....they need to vibrate with a smaller amplitude to pass on the wave....thus sound travels faster in a denser medium than a less dense one.</span>

Two bicyclists are accelerating forward in a straight line, and Biker 1 has less mass than Biker 2. If the net force on the bike
Solnce55 [7]

If  Biker 1 has less mass than Biker 2 it the follows that biker 1 has a greater acceleration than Biker 2.​

<h3>What is the Newton second law?</h3>

The Newton second law gives the relationship between the force and the acceleration. We know that; acceleration = Force/mass.

Now if Biker 1 has less mass than Biker 2 it the follows that biker 1 has a greater acceleration than Biker 2.​

A solar eclipse will occur Group of answer choices
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

3. at new Moon only when the Moon is on the ecliptic.

Explanation:

  • Solar eclipse is the condition when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth. In this condition the moon casts its shadow on the earth.
  • Whether the eclipse is a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse or an annular solar eclipse depends on various factors, but the position of the moon must be on the same orbital plane as that of the earth's orbit around the sun.
  • The sun is about 400 times larger than the moon in size and the sun is almost 400 times farther from the earth than the moon is, this makes it possible for the moon to cover the sun completely leading to a complete solar eclipse.
  • As we know that the orbit of the earth around the sun and the orbit of the moon around the earth is elliptical which leads to a variation in the distance from their rotating centers, so not of every eclipse the moon covers the sun completely developing an annular eclipse.
  • When the moon is close enough to the earth on the ecliptic but not completely aligned in between the sun and the earth leads to a partial solar eclipse.
