Why do you think sound travels faster in steel than it does in wood? (Hint: Think about the densities of the two materials, and

how the particles might be arranged.)

Answer:

If sound waves of the same energy were passed through a block of wood and a block of steel, which is more dense than the wood, the molecules of the steel would vibrate at a slower rate. Sound moves faster through denser air because the molecules are closer together in dense air and sound can be more easily passed on.

Liula [17]

Answer:

Magnetic field experienced = 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ T

Explanation:

The magnetic field around an infinite straight current-carrying wire at a distance r from the wire is given by

B = (μ₀I)/(2πr)

B = ?

I = 20 KA = 20000 A

r = 8.9 m

μ₀ = magnetic permeability = 1.257 × 10⁻⁶ T.m/A

B = (1.257 × 10⁻⁶ × 20000)/(2π×8.9) = 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ T

What are some different kinds of bias and how can they ruin a research project
m_a_m_a [10]

Three types of bias can be distinguished: information bias, selection bias, and confounding. These three types of bias and their potential solutions are discussed using various examples.

Bias can damage research, if the researcher chooses to allow his bias to distort the measurements and observations or their interpretation. When faculty are biased about individual students in their courses, they may grade some students more or less favorably than others, which is not fair to any of the students.

A rock is suspended by a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the string is 51.9 N . When the rock is totally i
Luden [163]

Answer:

\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}

Explanation:

When the rock is immersed in unknown liquid the forces that act on it are shown as under

1) Tension T by the string

2) Weight W of the rock

3) Force of buoyancy due to displaced liquid B

For equilibrium we have T_{3}+B = W_{rock}

T_{3}+\rho _{Liquid}V_{rock}g=W_{rock}.....(\alpha)

When the rock is suspended in air for equilibrium we have

T_{1}=W_{rock}....(\beta)

When the rock is suspended in water for equilibrium we have

T_{2} + \rho _{water}V_{rock}g=W_{rock}.....(\gamma)

Using the given values of tension and solving α,β,γ simultaneously for \rho _{Liquid} we get

W_{rock}=51.9N\\31.6+1000\times V_{rock}\times g=51.9N\\\\11.4+\rho _{liquid}V_{rock}g=51.9N\\\\

Solving for density of liquid we get

\rho _{liquid}=\frac{51.9-11.4}{51.9-31.6}\times 1000

\rho _{liquid}=1995.07kg/m^{3}

Describe in your own words what is meant by the statement that the Sun is in hydrostatic equilibrium.
Jet001 [13]

Answer and Explanation:

Hydrostatic equilibrium is the condition in which force is balance that is upward force and downward force the downward force is due to gravitational force and the upward force is due to the pressure. The Sun is said to be in hydrostatic equilibrium means the force acting on it is balance means upward force which is due to pressure is same as the force exerted by gravitation.
