Sound travels through solids the fastest

Hope it helps...

sound travels faster through solid objects because a solid objects particles are packed together so the sound particles can bump with them easily to create sound. in air it needs to find a particle to bump with which is much more harder but with a solid its easier.

High-altitude mountain climbers do not eat snow, but always melt it first with a stove. To see why, calculate the energy absorbe
Vikki [24]

Answer:

a) Q=467443.8\ J

b) Q_m=299700\ J

c) Q_2=131859\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • specific heat of ice, c_i=2100\ J.kg^{-1}.^{\circ}C^{-1}
  • latent heat of fusion of ice, L=333000\ J.kg^{-1}
  • specific heat of water, c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.^{\circ}C^{-1}

(a)

  • mass of snow, m_s=0.9\ kg
  • initial temperature of snow, T_{is}=-15^{\circ}C
  • Final temperature of the consumed mass, T_f=37^{\circ}C

<u>Now the energy absorbed from the body after eating this snow:</u>

Q=m_s.c_i.\Delta T_i+m_s.L+m_s.c_w.\Delta T_w

Q=0.9\times 2100\times (0-(-15))+0.9\times 333000+0.9\times 4186\times (37-0)

Q=467443.8\ J

(b)

<u>Energy absorbed from the body in melting the ice is the total latent heat:</u>

Q_m=m_s.L

Q_m=0.9\times 333000

Q_m=299700\ J

(c)

  • initial temperature of water, T_{iw}=2^{\circ}C
  • final temperature of water, T_{iw}=37^{\circ}C

<u>Now, the amount of energy invested by body for the water at this condition:</u>

Q_2=m_s.c_w.\Delta T_2

Q_2=0.9\times 4186\times (37-2)

Q_2=131859\ J

How does a fuse protect a toaster?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The correct option is (D). i.e.<span>When the current is too high, a metal strip in the fuse melts and opens the circuit.

Explanation: </span>The fuse contains a small piece of wire which has very less melting point. As there is huge current flow, the wire heats to the heavy current flow & melts & the circuit is broken.
Hence, it saves the device from the heavy current flow & the device is damage free. breaks the circuit if a fault in an appliance causes too much current flow.

german

Answer:

vavg = 53.7 km/h

Explanation:

In order to find the magnitude of the bus'average velocity, we need just to apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

vavg =\frac{xf-xo}{t-to}

where xf - xo = total displacement = 1250 Km

If we choose t₀ = 0, ⇒ t = 23h 16'= 23h + 0.27 h = 23.27 h

⇒ vavg =\frac{1250 km}{23.27h}  =  53.7 Km/h

A mountain climber of mass 60.0 kg slips and falls a distance of 4.00 m, at which time he reaches the end of his elastic safety
Sever21 [200]
The energy that the rope absorbs from the climber is Ep=m*g*h where m is mass of the climber, g=9.81m/s² and h is the height the climber fell. h=4 m+2 m because he was falling for 4 meters and the rope stretched for 2 aditional meters. The potential energy stored in the rope is Er=(1/2)*k*x², where k is the spring constant of the rope and x is the distance the rope stretched and it is
x=2 m. So the equation from the law of conservation of energy is:

Ep=Er

m*g*h=(1/2)*k*x²

k=(2*m*g*h)/x² = (2*60*9.81*6)/2² = 7063.2/4 =1765.8 N/m

So the spring constant of the rope is k=1765.8 N/m.
