Why does sound propagate faster in solid bodies than in liquids and faster in liquids than in air?

storchak [24]3 years ago

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

this is because particles in solids are packed very closely together, thus , the particles collide with each other frequently and thus transfer of energy is faster. however, particles in liquid are closely packed but not as close as in solid so the particles do not collide as frequently. thus, transfer of energy slower than in solid. furthermore, the particles in gas are spaced far apart from each other, thus the particles don't collide with each other frequently, thus transfer of energy is very slow in gas.

hope you get it,

A 100 N force causes an object to accelerate at 2 m/s2. What is the mass of the<br> object?

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

50 kg

Explanation:

Given,

Force ( F ) = 100 N

Acceleration ( a ) = 2 m/s^2

To find : Mass ( m ) = ?

Formula : -

F = ma

m = F / a

= 100 / 2

m = 50 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 50 kg.

Alex is asked to move two boxes of books in contact with each other and resting on a rough floor. He decides to move them at the

Over [174]

Answer:

Part a)

$a= 0.32 m/s^2$

Part b)

$F_c = 3.6 N$

Part c)

$F_c = 5.5 N$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the friction force on two boxes is given as

$F_f = \mu m_a g + \mu m_b g$

$F_f = 0.02(10.6 + 7)9.81$

$F_f = 3.45 N$

Now we know by Newton's II law

$F_{net} = ma$

so we have

$F_p - F_f = (m_a + m_b) a$

$9.1 - 3.45 = (10.6 + 7) a$

$a = \frac{5.65}{17.6}$

$a= 0.32 m/s^2$

Part b)

For block B we know that net force on it will push it forward with same acceleration so we have

$F_c - F_f = m_b a$

$F_c = \mu m_b g + m_b a$

$F_c = 0.02(7)(9.8) + 7(0.32)$

$F_c = 3.6 N$

Part c)

If Alex push from other side then also the acceleration will be same

So for box B we can say that Net force is given as

$F_p - F_f - F_c = m_b a$

$9.1 - 0.02(7)(9.8) - F_c = 7(0.32)$

$F_c = 9.1 - 0.02 (7)(9.8) - 7(0.32)$

$F_c = 5.5 N$
