Answer:

The speed of sound in air when the temperature is 20°C is 343 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature T = 20°C = 20+273=293 K

The speed of sound in air is the distance traveled divided by time.

We know that,

The relation between the speed of sound in air and temperature is defined as:

$v= 331\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{273}}$

Where, T = temperature in Kelvin

v = speed of sound in air

We substitute the value into the formula

$v = 331\sqrt{\dfrac{293}{273}}$

$v = 342.9 = 343\ m/s$

The speed of sound in air is 331 m/s at 0° C, 343 m/s at 20°C and 346 m/s at 25°C.

Hence, the speed of sound in air when the temperature is 20°C is 343 m/s.

Help me with the question in the image I provided

inna [77]

Answer: 10 s, 30 m/s , 150 m

Explanation:

Given

The speed of motorcyclist is $u_1=15\ m/s$

The initial speed of a police motorcycle is $u_2=0\ m/s$

acceleration of police motorcycle is $a=3\ m/s^2$

Police will catch the motorcyclist when they traveled equal distances

distance traveled by motorcyclist in time t is

$\Rightarrow s_1=15\times t$

Distance traveled by Police in time t is

$\Rightarrow s_2=u_2t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=0+0.5\times 3\times t^2$

put $s_1=s_2$

$\Rightarrow 15t=0.5\times 3\times t^2\\\\\Rightarrow t(1.5t-15)=0\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{15}{1.5}=10\ s$

Police officer's speed at that time is

$\Rightarrow v_2=u_2+at\\\Rightarrow v_2=0+3\times 10=30\ m/s$

Distance traveled by each vehicle is

$\Rightarrow s_1=s_2=15\times t=15\times 10=150\ m$

Which statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0?

satela [25.4K]

The statement best describes the difference between a substance with a pH of 3.0 and a substance with a pH of 6.0 is - The substance with the lower pH has 1,000 times as many hydrogen ions per volume of water.

pH is the scale or measure for the substance about its acidic or basic strength. It ranges from 0 to 6.9 which is acidic and 7.1 to 14 which is basic.

Acidic substance has high concentration of Hydrogen ions whereas, basic substance has low concentration of hydrogen ions, however for the OH⁻ ions it is reverse.
