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.

Why does an iceberg have more HEAT than a cup of coffee?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The hot coffee has a higher temperature, but not a greater internal energy. Although the iceberg has less internal energy per mass, its enormously greater mass gives it a greater total energy than that in the small cup of coffee.

From the photoelectric effect we learn that A. a blue photon has less energy than a red photon B. a blue photon has equal energy
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer: E. None of the above

Explanation: The energy of a photon is given by the formula below.

E=hf or E = hc/λ

E = energy, h = planck constant, c= speed of light and

λ= wavelength.

From E=hf we can see that energy is directly proportional to frequency since h is a constant, this implies that as we move up the visible light spectrum, red light has the least frequency this accounting for the lowest energy while violet has the largest energy accounting for a very high energy.

Blue light is higher in the spectrum than red light.

This implies that blue light has more energy than red.

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum which implies that they all travel with the same speed of a constant value ( speed of light = 3* 10^8 m/s).

Thus in conclusion, blue light has more energy that red light but they both travel with the same speed.

This point nullifies the options thus making none of it correct.

Which statement best describes the motion of an object that is being subjected to two forces of equal magnitude in opposite dire
Ludmilka [50]
The net force on the object is zero, so it has no acceleration. It moves in a straight line and at a constant speed (which may be zero).

How much heat is absorbed from a 56.00 g sample of Mercury when its tempreature change is 289K?
AveGali [126]

Heat required to raise the temperature of mercury is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

here given that

m = 56 g

s = specific heat capacity of mercury = 0.140 J/g C

\Deta T = 289 k

now here we have

Q = 56 * 0.140 * 289

Q = 2265.76 J

so it required 2265.76 J of heat
