Answer: The correct answer is vacuum.

Explanation:

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave in which the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the motion of the wave. Sound wave consists of compression and rarefaction.

It needs a medium to travel. It can travel in solid, liquid and gas. It cannot travel in vacuum.

Denser the medium, more will be the speed of the wave.

Solid is more denser in comparison to liquid.

The speed of the sound in the solid medium is more in comparison to the liquid. The speed of the sound in liquid is more than the speed in the gas.

Therefore, vacuum is least effective medium for traveling sound waves.

From a lake, water is pumped at a rate of 67 L/s to a storage tank positioned 14 m above while consuming 16.4 kW of electrical p

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

57 %

Explanation:

input power = 16.4 kW = 16.4 x 10^3 W = 16400 W

Water pumped per second = 67 L/s

Mass of water pumped per second, m = Volume of water pumped epr second x density of water

m = 67 x 10^-3 x 1000 = 67 kg/s

height raised, h = 14 m

Output Power = m x g x h / t = 67 x 10 x 14 = 9380 W

efficiency = output power / input power = 9380 / 16400 = 0.57

% efficiency = 57 %

thus, the efficiency of the pump is 57 %.

A space station, in the form of a wheel 140 m in diameter, rotates to provide an "artificial gravity" of 3.90 m/s2 for persons w

Zigmanuir [339]

Radial acceleration is given by

$a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}$
where

$v=r \omega$
then

$a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2$

Now

$70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2} \\ \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }$

Using the relation

$\omega=2 \pi f$

$2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\ \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz$

Putting into rpm

$\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm$

Answer:

It is possible to statically charge objects by rubbing it against carpet fibers, but I'm not sure if that was in the article that you read.

Explanation:

Static charge can build up via carpet fibers.
