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?
Physics

Andru [333]3 years ago

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.

A metal block has a density of 5000 kg per cubic meter and a mass of 15,000 kg. What is its volume?
Naily [24]

Taking into account the definition of density, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.

<h3>What is density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

From this expression it can be deduced that density is inversely proportional to volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the higher the density.

<h3>Volume of the metal block</h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • Density= 5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }
  • Mass= 15000 kg
  • Volume= ?

Replacing in the definition of density:

5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} } =\frac{15000 kg}{volume}

Solving:

volume×5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }= 15000 kg

volume= \frac{15000 kg}{5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }}

<u><em>volume= 3 m³</em></u>

In summary, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.

A water tower is a familiar sight in many towns. The purpose of such a tower is to provide storage capacity and to provide suffi
Mademuasel [1]

The image of the water tower and the houses is in the attachment.

Answer: (a) P = 245kPa;

(b) P = 173.5 kPa

Explanation: <u>Gauge</u> <u>pressure</u> is the pressure relative to the atmospheric pressure and it is only dependent of the height of the liquid in the container.

The pressure is calculated as: P = hρg

where

ρ is the density of the liquid, in this case, water, which is ρ = 1000kg/m³;

When it is full the reservoir contains 5.25×10⁵ kg. So, knowing the density, you know the volume:

ρ = \frac{m}{V}

V = ρ/m

V = \frac{5.25.10^{5}}{10^{3}}

V = 525 m³

To know the height of the spherical reservoir, its diameter is needed and to determine it, find the radius:

V = \frac{4}{3}.\pi.r^{3}

r = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{3}{4\pi } .V}

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{525.3}{4\pi } }

r = 5.005 m

diameter = 2*r = 10.01m

(a) Height for House A:

h = 15 + 10.01

h = 25.01

P = hρg

P = 25.01.10³.9.8

P = 245.10³ Pa or 245kPa

(b) h = 25 - 7.3

h = 17.71

P = hρg

P = 17.71.1000.9.8

P = 173.5.10³ Pa or 173.5 kPa

a student solving for the acceleration of an object has applied appropriate physics principles and obtained the expression a
kozerog [31]

Given:

Force, f = 12 \frac{kg-m}{sec^{2} }

Mass, m = 7 kg

Acceleration, a_{1} = 3\;\frac{m}{sec^{2} }

a = a_{1}+\frac{f}{m}

Substitute\;the\;values\;of\;f,\;m\;and\;a_{1}\;in\;the\;above\;equation,

a = 3+\frac{12}{7}

a = 3 + 1.714

Therefore, the acceleration is,

a = 4.714\;\frac{m}{sec^{2} }

<h3>Explain Acceleration?</h3>

An object's rate of changing its velocity is known as its acceleration, which is a vector quantity. If an object's velocity is changing, it is accelerating. When anything moves faster or slower in a straight line, it is said to have been accelerated. Even if the speed is constant, motion on a circle accelerates because the direction is always shifting.

A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of ma
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

The momentum of the first piece = m v =- m x 31 i kg m/s in - x direction  direction

The momentum of the second piece = -m x 31 j kg m /s in Y - direction

Total momentum = - 31 m( i + j )

To conserve momentum , the third piece must have momentum equal to this

and opposite to it

So momentum of the third piece  = 3m x V = 31 m ( i +j )

V = 31/3 ( i + j ) =

Magnitude of velocity V = √2 x 31/ 3  = 14.6 m / s

Its direction will be towards the vector i + j  ie 45° from x - axis in positive direction
