The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter?

The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.

In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.

[:] Answer [:]

D) Temperature

You measure temperature with a thermometer. You can use it to measure you r temperature if you're sick, or you use it to measure the temperature outside. A, B, and C do not work with a thermometer. You would use a different device for those.

A fox ﬂeeing from a hunter encounters a 0.700 m tall fence and attempts to jump it. The fox jumps with an initial velocity of 7.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:0.61 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity (u)=7.40 m/s

launch angle $\theta =45^{\circ}$

height of fence=0.7 m

Trajectory of Projectile is given by

$y=x\tan \theta -\frac{gx^2}{2u^2\cos^2\theta }$

For x=2.1 m

$y=2.1\tan (45)-\frac{9.8\times 2.1^2}{2\times 7.4^2\times (\cos 45)^2}$

$y=2.1-0.789$

$y=1.31 m$

At x=2.1 m Y=1.31

therefore Fox clear fence by a margin =1.31-0.7=0.61 m

A person walks 2 miles every day to work, leaving her front porch at 7:00 A.M. and arriving at work at 7:30 A.M. ON the way home

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The displacement is zero miles

Explanation:

The displacement of an object that moves from point A to point B is defined as

$d =B-A$

Where d is the displacement of the object. The displacement does not depend on the trajectory of the object. It only depends on the linear distance between the end point and the starting point.

In this case we know that the person walks from home to work and then walks from work to home. Therefore, the total displacement is the linear distance between the point where its journey begins and the point where the route ends.

The tour begins on the front porch of your house and ends on the front porch of your house (when you return from work). If we call A to the front porch of the house then the displacement is:

$d = A-A = 0$

The displacement is zero miles, since the person finishes the journey just where it started (front porch)

What can you conclude about the direction of motion of the object after the application of the additional force?

Anna35 [415]

It will move in the direction of applied force following the law of newton that is an object is stationary until an external force is applied then it moves in direction of force

As an object slides across a rough horizontal

tiny-mole [99]

When the object slides across the rough surface some of its potential energy will be lost to friction.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

When the object slides across the rough surface, some of the potential energy of the object will be converted into kinetic energy while the remaining potential energy will be converted into thermal energy due to frictional force of the rough surface.

P.E = K.E + thermal energy
