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.

A box has the dimensions of 50 cm × 30 cm × 15 cm, weighs 150 N, and is to be
nadezda [96]

The surface can only withstand a pressure Face A (50cm × 30cm) and Face C (50cm × 15cm) as the surface can only withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm³.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The physical force used to apply pressure to an object is defined as such. Per square inch of an object, a force is applied perpendicularly to its surface. For pressure, the fundamental formula is F/A. (Force per unit area). The Pascal is the unit of pressure (Pa).

The four different types of pressure are absolute, atmospheric, differential, and gauge pressure. Have you ever noticed that when you use a straw to drink something, the air actually gets suked out? In reality, you're applying "Pressure" as you drink the beverage.

A box has the dimensions of 50 cm × 30 cm × 15 cm

Let each face be A, B and C

The weight of the box = 150 N

Formula for pressure is

P = F/A

To find out which face of the box can withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm

we need find the area of each face and find its pleasure

Face A = 50 cm × 30 cm

Area A = l × b

            = 50 × 30

            = 1500 cm²

Pressure A = 150/1500

                  = 0.1 N/cm³

                    0.25 > 0.1

The surface can definitively withstand the pressure of Face A

Face B = 30 cm × 15 cm

Area A = l × b

            = 30 × 15

            = 450 cm²

Pressure A = 150/450

                  = 0.3 N/cm³

                    0.25 < 0.3

The surface could not withstand the pressure of Face B

Face C = 50 cm × 15 cm

Area A = l × b

            = 50 × 15

            = 750 cm²

Pressure A = 150/750

                  = 0.2 N/cm³

                    0.25 > 0.2

The surface can definitively withstand the pressure of Face C

Thus, The surface can only withstand a pressure Face A (50cm × 30cm) and Face C (50cm × 15cm) as the surface can only withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm³.

Jack drops a stone from rest off of the top of a bridge that is 24.4 m above the ground. After the stone falls 6.6 m, Jill throw
alukav5142 [94]
-17.555m/s

first I found the time it took for jacks stone to reach the bottom, using the formula vf = vi + at, vf and vi are final and initial velocities.

then i found the velocity at 6.6m using vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad
and I found the time it took to get to 6.6m, so that I knew how long Jill waited to throw her stone, I used the formula d = t(vi+vf)/2, then i done total time - the time she waited, to get the time it took for there stones to hit the ground at the same time.

then to find the initial velocity of her throw I used the formula d = vit + (at^2)/2

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

U = - G m M / r

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is given by the expression

         U = - G m₁ m₂ / r

dodne G is the gravitational cosntnate (G = 6.67 10⁻¹¹¹), m and m are the mass of the bodies involved

subtype the given values

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

21.3 V, 1.2 A

Explanation:

1.

These resistors are in series, so the net resistance is:

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

R = 20 + 30 + 45

R = 95

So the current is:

V = IR

45 = I (95)

I = 9/19

So the voltage drop across R₃ is:

V = IR

V = (9/19) (45)

V ≈ 21.3 V

2.

First, we need to find the equivalent resistance of R₂ and R₃, which are in parallel:

1/R₂₃ = 1/R₂ + 1/R₃

1/R₂₃ = 1/10 + 1/10

R₂₃ = 5

Now we find the overall resistance by adding the resistors in series:

R = R₁ + R₂₃ + R₄

R = 10 + 5 + 10

R = 25

So the current through R₁ is:

V = IR

30 = I (25)

I = 1.2 A
