Answer:

"It will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*C and water at 20*C."

Explanation:

Speed of sound in a medium depends upon the density and elasticity of the medium.

If the elasticity of a medium is greater and the density of that medium is lower, sound will travel faster. Although density is also a factor but the major factor is Elasticity.

Hence, sound travel faster in solids than in liquids and even slower in gases due to elasticity difference.

$Speed of sound = V = \sqrt{\frac{Elasticity}{Density} }$

That is why the speed of sound in glass will be more than the speed of sound waves in air at 20*C and water at 20*C.

The tension of a guitar string is increased by 40%. By what factor odes the fundamental frequency of vibration change? a. 1.13 b

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency in string is expressed as;

F1 = 1/2L√T/m .... 1

L is the length of the string

T is the tension

m is the mass per unit length

If the tension is increased by 40%, the new tension will be;

T2 = T + 40%T

T2 = T + 0.4T

T2 = 1.4T

The new fundamental frequency will be;

F2 = 1/2L√1.4T/m ..... 2

Divide 1 by 2;

F2/F = (1/2L√1.4T/m)/1/2L√T/m)+

F2/F = √1.4T/m ÷ √T/m

F2/F = √1.4T/√m ×√m/√T

F2/F = √1.4T/√T

F2/F = 1.18√T/√T

F2/F = 1.18

F2 = 1.18F

Hence the fundamental frequency of vibration changes by a factor of 1.18

When a current is passed through plasma and that current is increased will the temperature of the plasma increase . if it does t

Delicious77 [7]

The temperature of the plasma will increase as current is passed through it.

<h3>Meaning of Current and temperature</h3>

Current can be defined as a flow of charged particles through a medium and the particles includes: electrons or ions.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness experienced by a material.

The more current passes through the plasma the more energy is induced making the particles to move faster which in turns causes temperature to increase and reducing the resistance of the plasma.

In conclusion, The current causes temperature to increase and this reduces the resistance.

As an object moves from point A to point B only two forces act onit: one force is nonconservative and does -30 J of work, the ot

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. On the one hand we have that the work done by the non-conservative force is equivalent to -30J while the work done by the conservative force is 50J.

This leads to the direct conclusion that the resulting energy is 20J.

The conservative force is linked to the movement caused by the sum of the two energies, therefore there is an increase in kinetic energy. The decrease in the mechanical energy of the system is directly due to the loss given by the non-conservative force, therefore there is a decrease in mechanical energy.

Therefore the correct answer is A. Kintetic energy increases and mechanical energy decreases.

if two point charges are separated by 1.5 cm and have charge values of 2.0 and -4.0, respectively, what is the value of the mutu

RUDIKE [14]

Complete question:

if two point charges are separated by 1.5 cm and have charge values of +2.0 and -4.0 μC, respectively, what is the value of the mutual force between them.

Answer:

The mutual force between the two point charges is 319.64 N

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two point charges, r = 1.5 cm = 1.5 x 10⁻² m

value of the charges, q₁ and q₂ = 2 μC and - μ4 C

Apply Coulomb's law;

$F = \frac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}$

where;

F is the force of attraction between the two charges

|q₁| and |q₂| are the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two charges

k is Coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

$F = \frac{k|q_1||q_2|}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{8.99*10^9 *4*10^{-6}*2*10^{-6}}{(1.5*10^{-2})^2} \\\\F = 319.64 \ N$

Therefore, the mutual force between the two point charges is 319.64 N
