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.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The same

Explanation:

The change in momentum of each cart is equal to the impulse given by the force applied on the cart:

\Delta p = I = F \Delta t

where

F is the force applied

\Delta t is the time during which the force is applied

The force applied to both carts (F) is the same, as well as the time (\Delta t). This means that the change in momentum, \Delta p, is the same for both carts. But both carts start from rest (momentum = 0): this means that at the end, both carts will have exactly same momentum.

Consider a roller coaster begins 15m above the ground. If the cart has a mass of 75kg, what is the velocity of the cart halfway
SashulF [63]

Answer:

v = 12.12 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the cart, m = 75 kg

The roller coaster begins 15 m above the ground.

We need to find the velocity of the cart halfway to the ground. Let the velocity be v. Using the conservation of energy at this position, h = 15/2 = 7.5 m

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 7.5} \\\\v=12.12\ m/s

So, the velocity of the cart is 12.12 m/s.

How will a current change if the resistance of a circuit remains constant while the voltage across the circuit decreases to half
beks73 [17]

Answer:

1. The current will drop to half of its original value.

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage across the circuit

R is the resistance of the circuit

I is the current

We can rewrite it as

I=\frac{V}{R}

In this problem, we have:

- the resistance of the circuit remains the same: R' = R

- the voltage is decreased to half of its original value: V'=\frac{V}{2}

So, the new current will be

I'=\frac{V'}{R'}=\frac{V/2}{R}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{V}{R}=\frac{I}{2}

so, the current will drop to half of its original value.
