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.

If you are going 60 mph what is your speed in m per second
LenKa [72]

Answer:

1/60 mps

Explanation:

We would first have to divide 60 by 60 because there is 60mins per hour to get 1mpm. After that we would have to divide 1 by 60 because there are 60 secs in a min. So our final answer after doing 1/60 would be a fraction.

What is the source of the radioactivity?
Nataly_w [17]
The Earth itself is a source of terrestrial radiation. Radioactive materials including uranium, thorium, and radium exist naturally in soil and rock. Essentially all air contains radon<span> , which is responsible for most of the dose that Americans receive each year from natural background sources.</span>

Answer:

x=2.4365\ m

and

x=-1.4365\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • first charge, q_1=5\times 10^{-3}\ C
  • second charge, q_2=3\times 10^{-3}\ C
  • position of first charge, x_1=-2\ m
  • position of second charge, x_2=-1\ m

Now since there are only 2 charges and of the same sign so they repel each other. This repulsion will be zero at some point on the line joining the charges.

<u>Now, according to the condition, electric field will be zero where the effects of field due to both the charges is equal.</u>

E_1=E_2

  • since first charge is greater than the second charge so we may get a point to the right of the second charge and the distance between the two charges is 1 meter.

\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1}{(r+1)^2} =\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \frac{q_2}{(r)^2}

\frac{5\times 10^{-3}}{(r+1)^2} = \frac{3\times 10^{-3}}{(r)^2}

3(r^2+1+2r)=5r^2

2r^2-6r-3=0

r=3.4365 \&\ r=-0.4365

Since we have assumed that the we may get a point to the right of second charge so we calculate with respect to the origin.

x=-1+3.4365=2.4365\ m

and

x=-1-0.4365=-1.4365\ m

A rock is thrown upward with a velocity of 22 meters per second from the top of a 25 meter high cliff, and it misses the cliff o
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The rock will reach 9 m from the ground at eaxactly 5.06 s after it was initially thrown upwards.

Explanation:

We will use the equations of motion for this.

u = initial velocity of the rock = 22 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

y = vertical position of the rock at a time t = 9 m

y₀ = initial height of the rock = 25 m

t = time it takes for the rock to reach height of 9 m.

(y-y₀) = ut + 0.5gt²

(9 - 25) = 22t + 0.5(-9.8)t²

- 14 = 22t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 22t - 14 = 0

solving this quadratic equation,

t = 5.055 s or - 0.565 s

Since time cannot be negative,

t = 5.055 s = 5.06 s

Hope this Helps!!!
