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.

What wave phenomena best describes the reason for the dark and light bands that
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Interference

Explanation:

Interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a wave with smaller, larger or same amplitude.

There are two types of interference namely, constructive interference and destructive interference.

Constructive interference occurs when the waves are in phase and destructive interference occurs when the waves are out of phase.

In a double slit experiment, the two slits acts as sources of light and thus the waves combine to produce interference patterns. When the waves are in phase, that is the angle between them is 0°, they form a constructive interference pattern which gives rise to a light band. When the waves are out of phase, that is the angle between them is 180°, they form a destructive interference pattern which gives rise to a dark band.

Note also that diffraction patterns are also observed for wide slits but can be neglected for smaller slits.

Did you think about this over Christmas? I did (-: Before Christmas a 65kg student consumes 2500 Cal each day and stays at the s
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

a)  Em = 332.8 J , b) # jump = 13, c)   It is reasonable since there are not too many jumps , d) lower the calories consumed

Explanation:

a) Let's use energy conservation

Initial. On the floor

             Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

Final. The highest point

             Emf = U = m g h

Energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Emf

             ½ m v² = m g h

             h = ½ v² / g

            h = ½ 3.2² /9.8

            h = 0.52 m

b) When he was at home he maintained his weight with 2500 cal / day. In his parents' house he consumes 3500 cal / day, the excess of calories is

            Q = 3500 -2500 = 1000cal / day

Let's reduce this value to the SI system

             Q = 1000 cal (4,184 J / 1 cal) = 4186 J / day

Now the energy in each jump is

               Em = K = ½ m v²

               Em = ½ 65 3.2²

               Em = 332.8 J

They indicate that the body can only use 25% of this energy

              Em effec = 0.25 332.8 J

              Em effec = 83.2 J

This is the energy that burns the body

Let's use a Proportion Rule (rule of three), if a jump spends 83.2J how much jump it needs to spend 1046 J

              # jump = 1046 J (1 jump / 83.2 J)

              # jump = 12.6 jumps / day

              # jump = 13  

c) It is reasonable since there are not too many jumps

d) That some days consume more vegetables to lower the calories consumed
