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

Physics
1 answer:
storchak [24]3 years ago
4 0

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,

Explain why a battery causes charge to flow spontaneously when the battery is inserted in a circuit
deff fn [24]
Batteries supply electrons to the circuit by releasing negatively charged atoms or ions. These ions are produced by the batteries through a chemical reaction that spontaneously occurs within the battery. So the negative end of the battery pushes the ions towards the positive end of the circuit with the help of the voltage. This is why eventually, batteries "run out" when the electrode is used up and the chemical reaction can no longer continue.

Consider an elevator with a table and a book on top of the table. The mass of the table is 10kg and the mass of the book is 2kg.
Step2247 [10]

Newton's second law allows us to find the force of the block on the table is 126 N

Newton's second law says that the net force is proportional to the product of the mass and the acceleration of the body

                Σ F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, m is the mass and the acceleration of the body

A free body diagram is a diagram where the forces are represented without the details of the bodies, in the attached we can see a free body diagram of the system.

Let's start by finding the acceleration of the elevator with kinematics  

                 v = v₀ + a t

                 a = \frac{v-v_o}{a}  

Where v and v₀ are the current and initial velocity, respectively, at acceleration and t is the time

                 a = \frac{8-1}{2}

                 a = 3.5 m / s²

Let's write Newton's second law for each body

The book

                N₂ - W₂ + N₁ = m a

               

Table

                N₁ - W₁ - W₂ = M a

                W₁ = Mg

                W₂ = mg

                N₁ = (M + m) g + M a

                N₁ = (10 + 2) 9.8 + 10 3.5

                N₁ = 152.6 N

This is the reaction of the earth to the support of the block and the table

               N₂ = ma + m g  - N₁

               N₂ = m ( a +g) - N₁  

               N₂ = 2 (3.5 + 9.8) - 152.6

               N₂ = 26.6 - 152.6

               N₂ = -126 N

The negative sign indicates that the direction is opposite to the one assigned, this is the action of the block on the table.

In conclusion using Newton's second law we can find the forces of the block on the table is 126 N
