Why do sound waves move faster through the ground than through the air? a. Particles of matter are packed more loosely in the gr

ound than in the air. b. Particles of matter are packed more tightly in the ground than in the air. c. Air doesn’t contain any particles of matter to transmit sound waves. d. The elevation of the ground is lower than the elevation of the air space.

The correct answer is

b. Particles of matter are packed more tightly in the ground than in the air.

Sound waves generally move faster in solids than liquids and gases. The reason is that sound waves are vibrations of the molecules of the medium: therefore, if the particles of the medium are closer together (as in solids), the vibrations can be transmitted faster, and the wave can travel faster. On the contrary, in gases the particles are spread apart, so the vibrations are not transmitted so easily (because there are less collisions between the particles) and the wave travels slower.

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]

A resistor, capacitor, and switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Initially, the s
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the terminal voltage of the battery.

Explanation:

This is because when a capacitor is charged no current or voltage flows through it so it will have a voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the battery

In which phase of mitosis are chromosome first seen as a result of chromatin coiling?
Kruka [31]
<span>Mitosis is a a means for cells to split and produce exact copies of themselves. The process produces two identical copies of the original cell and occurs throughout the human body. Mitosis is divided up into four main phases known as prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The chromosomes first become visible in early prophase.</span>
