How does diffraction enable somebody to hear your voice from anywhere in the room?

Diffraction means spreading out of waves that has the same wavelength as the size of the gap. Sound waves have high wavelength and so it diffracts\spreads out and enables anyone to hear your voice from anywhere outside the room.

For inside the room, the sound waves doesn't actually diffract. They collide with the air particles, causing a series of compressions and rarefactions which spreads out in the air particles and anyone can hear your voice.

Air is the medium for the sound waves to travel.

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change
Contact [7]
A physical change in something doesn't change what the it is. For example, if you break glass, it will still be glass. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new thing is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed. For example, when you burn a log. The carbon in the log is reacting to the oxygen to create ashe and smoke

Explain about kinetic theory​
Luden [163]

Answer:

The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. ... The molecules are in constant random motion, and there is an energy (mass x square of the velocity) associated with that motion. The higher the temperature, the greater the motion.

One end of a 7-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 5.4 kg mass is hung from the other end, the spring is stretched
mash [69]

Answer:

2.63 cm

Explanation:

Hooke's law gives that the force F is equal to cy where c is spring constant and x is extension

Making c the subject of the formula then

c=\frac {F}{y}

Since F is gm but taking the given mass to be F

c=\frac {5.4 kg}{4.3 cm}=1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930

By substitution now considering F to be 3.3 kg

y=\frac {3.3 kg}{1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930}=2.6277777777777 cm\approx 2.63 cm
