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.

If a runner exerts 457 j of work to make 321 w of power then how long did it take the runner to do the work
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The time taken by the runner to do the work is 1.42 seconds.

Given the data in the question;

  • Work done; W = 457J
  • Power; P = 321W
  • Time elapsed; t = \ ?

<h3>Power</h3>

Power can be simply referred to as the quantity of energy transferred per unit time.

It is expressed as;

P = \frac{W}{t}

Where W is work done and t is time elapsed.

To determine the time it took the runner to do the work, we substitute our given values into the expression above.

P = \frac{W}{t} \\\\t = \frac{W}{P} \\\\t = \frac{457J}{321W} \\\\t = \frac{457 kgm^2/s^2}{321 kgm^2/s^3}\\\\t = 1.42s

Therefore, the time taken by the runner to do the work is 1.42 seconds.

A train is travelling along a straight track at constant velocity from Western Station to Eastern station. The mile markers incr
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement of train = 60 - 25 = 35 mile

= 35 x 1.6 = 56 km

duration of time = 45 - 15 = 30 minutes

= 30 x 60 = 1800 s

velocity of train = displacement / time

= 56 / 1800 = .03111 km /s

= 31.111 m / s

What is the sum of all forces acting on an object and direction
babunello [35]

The sum of all forces on an object is the net force or resultant force. If all the forces cancel out , resultant force is zero , otherwise unbalanced force will cause acceleration of object .

Force is the vector, has both direction and magnitude.
