Through which medium would sound travel the fastest, water, a steel bar, or nitrogen gas explain

1 answer:

3 0

It would travel faster through a steel bar, because sound waves travel by vibrating molecules in a medium. In solids, these molecules are spaced closer together, causing sound to travel faster through it. so that means the second fastest medium is liquid and the slowest is gas

If 128 g of material is in the shape of a brick 2 cm wide, 4 cm high, and 8 cm long, what is the density of the material?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

2000 kg/m³

Explanation:

Density = (mass[kg])/(volume[m³])

Density of the brick = (.128kg)/(.02•.04•.08) = 2000 kg/m³

What is the value of work done on an object when a 50-newton force moves it 15 meters in the same direction as the force?

Volgvan

Answer:

W = 750 Joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, F = 50 N

Distance moved by the object, d = 15 m

To find,

Work done by the object

Solution,

Let W is the work done by the object. It is given by the product of force and distance. Its expression is given by :

$W=F\times d\ cos\theta$

Here, $\theta=0$ (force and distance are in same direction)

$W=F\times d$

$W=50\ N\times 15\ m$

W = 750 Joules

So, the work done by the force is 750 Joules.

How are sound waves similar to light waves?

Tom [10]

Answer:

Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves.

Explanation:

They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. ... Sound can only travel through a medium (substance) while light can travel through empty space. Sound is a form of mechanical energy caused by vibrations of matter.

Estimate the change in the equilibrium melting point of copper caused by a change in pressure of 10 kbar. The molar volume of co

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The change in the equilibrium melting point is 4.162 K.

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure = 10 kbar

Molar volume of copper $V=8.0\times10^{-6}\ m^3$

Volume of liquid $V=7.6\times10^{-6}\ m^3$

Latent heat of fusion $L= 13.05 kJ$

Melting point =1085°C

We need to calculate the change temperature

Using Clapeyron equation

$\dfrac{\Delta P}{\Delta T}=\dfrac{\Delta H}{T\Delta V}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1000\times10^{5}}{\Delta T}=\dfrac{13050}{(1085+273)\times(8.0-7.6)\times10^{-6}}$

$\Delta T=\dfrac{1000\times10^{-5}\times(1085+273)\times(8.0-7.6)\times10^{-6}}{13050}$

$\Delta T=4.162\ K$

Hence, The change in the equilibrium melting point is 4.162 K.

Help me plzzz?? I need help it on the picture

madam [21]

No.
The acceleration of gravity on or near Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s² ,
not 20 m/s² .

If it were 20 m/s², then you would weigh almost exactly double
what you really weigh now.
