Describe how sound waves move through different types of matter. Compare the speed at which sound moves through solids, liquids,

and gases and explain why sound travels differently through different types of matter?

Sound waves need different media in order to travel. This travels by the movement of the atom transferred to another up to its destination. The speed of sound is greatest in solids since the molecules of solid are closely packed together, followed by liquid and they are slowest in gases.

Two charges are located in the x–y plane. If q1 = -2.90 nC and is located at x = 0.00 m, y = 0.840 m and the second charge has m
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Epx= - 21.4N/C

Epy= 19.84N/C

Explanation:

Electric field theory

The electric field at a point P due to a point charge is calculated as follows:

E= k*q/r²

E= Electric field in N/C

q = charge in Newtons (N)

k= electric constant in N*m²/C²

r= distance from load q to point P in meters (m)

Equivalences

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

known data

q₁=-2.9nC=-2.9 *10⁻⁹C

q₂=5nC=5  *10⁻⁹C

r₁=0.840m

r_{2} =\sqrt{1^{2} +0.8^{2} } =\sqrt{1.64}

sin\beta =\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{1.64} } =0.6246

cos\beta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1.64} } =0.7808

Calculation of the electric field at point P due to q1

Ep₁x=0

Ep_{1y} =\frac{k*q_{1} }{r_{1}^{2}  } =\frac{8.99*10^{9}*2.9*10^{-9}  }{0.84^{2} } =36.95\frac{N}{C}

Calculation of the electric field at point P due to q2

Ep_{2x} =-\frac{k*q_{2} *cos\beta }{r_{2}^{2}  } =-\frac{8.99*10^{9}*5*10^{-9} *0.7808 }{(\sqrt{1.64})^{2}  } =-21.4\frac{N}{C}

Ep_{2y} =-\frac{k*q_{2} *sin\beta }{r_{2}^{2}  } =-\frac{8.99*10^{9}*5*10^{-9} *0.6242 }{(\sqrt{1.64})^{2}  } =-17.11\frac{N}{C}

Calculation of the electric field at point P(0,0) due to q1 and q2

Epx= Ep₁x+ Ep₂x==0 - 21.4N/C =- 21.4N/C

Epy= Ep₁y+ Ep₂y=36.95 N/C-17.11N =19.84N/C

Before a rifle is fired, the linear momentum of the bullet-rifle system is zero.
marusya05 [52]

Hi there!

II. Linear momentum of the system is zero.

This is an example of a RECOIL collision. With the Law of Conservation of Momentum, momentum remains constant before and after the collision.

Thus, the total momentum would also be equivalent to zero after the collision.

Where does current flows maximum in? series connection or parallel connection?
notsponge [240]
Current flow depends on other things in addition to the circuit configuration. If the SAME voltage is applied to some arrangement of the SAME components, the greatest current will occur when they are all in parallel.
