Through which medium will sound have slowest speed? Group of answer choices

Physics
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Air

Explanation: Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids.  Air and hydrogen have nearly the same elastic properties, but the density of hydrogen is less than that of air. Sound thus travels faster (about 4 times as fast) in hydrogen than in air.

<span>X^2 - 0.6 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 = 10000 * .6 cm </span>
<span>X = 77.46 cm (this is the width) </span>

<span>The length is 2 * 77.46 = 154.92 cm </span>

<span>The original length was 154.92 + 34.5 = 189.42 cm </span>
<span>The original width was 189.42 / 2 = 94.71 cm </span>

<span>The original area was 94.71 * 189.92 = 17939.9 cm^2 </span>
<span>The new area is 79.46 * 154.92 = 12000.1 cm^2 </span>

<span>The difference between the original and current area is 17939.9 - 12000.1 = 5939.86 cm^2 </span>

<span>The percentage the area decreased is 5939.86 ' 17939.9 = 33.1%</span>

Answer:

n_cladding = 1.4764

Explanation:

We are told that θ_max = 5 °

Thus;

θ_max + θ_c = 90°

θ_c = 90° - θ_max

θ_c = 90° - 5°

θ_c = 85°

Now, critical angle is given by;

θ_c = sin^(-1) (n_cladding/n_core)

sin θ_c = (n_cladding/n_core)

n_cladding = (n_core) × sin θ_c

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

n_cladding = 1.482 × sin 85

n_cladding = 1.4764

What determines how soon one action potential can follow another?
belka [17]
It is through biopsychological feedback. 

A class of chemical called a neurotransmitter is important in the transmission of nerve impulses. Neurotransmitters are packaged by the cell into small, membrane-bound sacs called vesicles. Upon receiving a chemical signal, the vesicles move toward the cell membrane and fuse with it, releasing the enclosed neurotransmitters from the terminal end of the nerve cell.

"In a pure substance all the particles must be identical; therefore pure substances are composed only of elements." Do you agree
kenny6666 [7]

I do not agree with the statement.
The "substance" can be a compound.  It's "pure"
as long as there's nothing else in it but its name.

'Pure' water is 100% H₂O with nothing else in it.
'Pure' table salt is 100% NaCl with nothing else in it.
'Pure' carbon dioxide is 100% CO₂ with nothing else in it.

These example substances are all compounds, not elements.

Why do the noble gases and some other elements on the right side of the periodic table occur as gases instead of solids as do th
mash [69]

Explanation:

The left side of the periodic table has elements that have less number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements loose electrons easily.These elements appear as metals or metalloids in nature.These are hard solids.Their inter molecular forces are very strong.

The right side of the periodic table has elements that have more number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements gain electrons easily.These elements appear as non metals most of which are gases.Their inter molecular forces are weak.
