The speed of sound in wood is ____ the speed of sound in water.

Physics
1 answer:
pishuonlain [190]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

greater

Explanation:

the speed of sound in steel is greater than water. the speed of sound in wood is not, In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Wood is less dense and force can make a sound.

Why does cold water sink?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Because Any object or substance that is less dense than a fluid will float in that fluid, so hot water rises (floats) in colder water. When fluids are cooled, they contract and therefore become more dense. Any object or substance that is more dense than a fluid will sink in that fluid, so cold water sinks in warmer water

motikmotik

Answer:

K = G Mm / 9R

Explanation:

Expression for escape velocity V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Kinetic energy at the surface = 1/2 m V_e ²

= 1/2 x m x 2GM/R

GMm/R

Potential energy at the surface

= - GMm/R

Total energy = 0

At height 9R ( 8R from the surface )

potential energy

= - G Mm / 9R

Kinetic energy = K

Total energy will be zero according to law of conservation of mechanical energy

so

K  - G Mm / 9R = 0

K = G Mm / 9R

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

0.208 N

Explanation:

We are given that

q_1=q_2=2.06\mu C=2.06\times 10^{-6} C

q_3=q_4=-2.06\mu C=-2.06\times 10^{-6} C

Distance,d=0.41 m

The magnitude of the net electrostatic force experienced by any charge at point 4

Net force,F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2_1+F^2_3+2F_1F_3cos90^{\circ}}-F_2

F_1=F_3=F

F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2+F^2+0}-F_2

F_{net}=\sqrt 2F-F_2

F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}

F_2=\frac{Kq^2}{2d^2}

F_{net}=\frac{\sqrt 2kq^2}{d^2}-\frac{kq^2}{2d^2}=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})

Where k=9\times 10^9

F_{net}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (2.06\times 10^{-6})^2}{(0.41)^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})

F_{net}=0.208 N
