Sound travels fastest through a solid, because the molecules are most tightly packed together in a solid, helping the sound waves jump from one molecule to another faster. Sound travels second fastest through a liquid because the molecules are packed together second most, and sound travels slowest through gasses.

Sound travels fastest in solids, slower in liquids, and slowest in gasses.

Predict the deformation or elongation of a spring that has a constant of elasticity of 400 N/m when a force of 75 N is applied i

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Give that,

Spring constant (k)=40N/m

Force applied =75N

Since the force is applied to the right, we don't know if it is compressing or stretching the spring

So let assume it compress

Using hooke's law

F=-ke

e=-F/k

Then, e=-75/40

e=-1.875m

The deformation is 1.875m.

Let assume it stretch

Using hooke's law

-F=-ke

e=F/k

Then, e=75/40

e=1.875m

The elongation is 1.875m

Winds blowing toward the east are called easterlies. True or False

eimsori [14]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Winds are named for the cardinal direction they blow from. Hence, a wind that "blows towards the east", logically should come from the west and is called a "west wind".

In thise sense, one of the best examples of this type of wind are the Westerlies, which are are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes and have the characteristic that are stronger during winter and weaker during summer.

Therefore, the statement is false.
