The answer is:

C. 361 m/s

The explanation:

To calculate the speed of sound at a given temperature (50°C) we are going to use this formula:

v = 331 + 0.6T

when V is the velocity

and T is the temperature = 50°C

by substitution:

v = 331 + 0.6(50)

v = 361 m/s

So, The correct answer is C.

because of the variation of the motion of the molecules of air with change of temperature so, the velocity (V) of the sound in the air is change with temperature.

Sound travels faster through rigid material like steel rather than through spongy materials like rubber. Why?

drek231 [11]

since sound travels using mechanical waves and needs a material medium to propagate and since mechanical waves spread through vibrations ...and since hard materials have their atoms packed closely....they need to vibrate with a smaller amplitude to pass on the wave....thus sound travels faster in a denser medium than a less dense one.

You are at the top of the Empire State Building on the 102nd floor, which is located 373 m above the ground, when your favorite

Liula [17]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

H = actual height of the superhero = ?

H₀ = height of the superhero as observed = 1.73 m

v = speed of the superhero = 0.50 c

Using the equation

$H = H_{o} \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{c} \right )^{2}}$

Inserting the values

$H = 1.73 \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{0.50 c}{c} \right )^{2}}$

H = 1.5 m

A manufacturer claims that a carpet will not generate more than 5.8 kV of static electricity What magnitude of charge would have

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

4.4×10⁻⁷ Coulomb

Explanation:

V = Voltage = 5.8 kV

d = Potential distance = 2.8 mm = 0.0028 m

A = Area = 0.3×0.08 = 0.024 m²

ε₀ = permittivity constant in a Vacuum= 8.85×10⁻¹² F/m

$\frac{Q}{V}=\frac{A\epsilon_0}{d}\\\Rightarrow \Q=V\frac{A\epsilon_0}{d}\\\Rightarrow Q=5.8\times 10^3\frac{0.024\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{0.0028}\\\Rightarrow Q=4.4\times 10^{-7}\ C$

Magnitude of charge transferred between a carpet and a shoe is 4.4×10⁻⁷ Coulomb.
