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.

So simply it to 120m/m for 120 minutes. So then you multiply 120x120 and that equals 14,400

If Neptune’s mass were reduced, what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and th
Alenkinab [10]
Make Neptune closer to the sun because then it would have a stronger gravitation pull. Because the closer the objects are, they will have a stronger gravitaional force and when the object has more mass, the gravity is also stronger. So, if the mass is reduced, the gravity force would be reduced, but if you bring neptune closer, the gravity force would increase

Find the time t2 that it would take the charge of the capacitor to reach 99.99% of its maximum value given that r=12.0ω and c=50
defon

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

R = 12 ohms

C = 500μf.

Time t =? When the charge reaches 99.99% of maximum

The charge on a RC circuit is given as

A discharging circuit

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

Where RC is the time constant

τ = RC = 12 × 500 ×10^-6

τ = 0.006 sec

The maximum charge is Qo,

Therefore Q = 99.99% of Qo

Then, Q = 99.99/100 × Qo

Q = 0.9999Qo

So, substituting this into the equation above

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

0.9999Qo = Qo•exp(-t / 0.006)

Divide both side by Qo

0.9999 = exp(-t / 0.006)

Take In of both sodes

In(0.9999) = In(exp(-t / 0.006))

-1 × 10^-4 = -t / 0.006

t = -1 × 10^-4 × - 0.006

t = 6 × 10^-7 second

So it will take 6 × 10^-7 a for charge to reached 99.99% of it's maximum charge
