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,

An object with a mass of 2.0 kg is accelerated at 5.0 m/s/s. the net force acting on the mass is
Vitek1552 [10]
First we need to know the equation:
F= Mass times acceleration
F = 2.0 kg times 5.0 m/s^2 
multiply them to get the net force!
F= 10 N 
N is newton

A shopper walks westward 2.8 meters in the first 5 minutes and then eastward 9.2 meters in the next 10 minutes. What is the shop
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance walked westward  = 2.8m

Time of travel  = 5min

Distance walked eastward = 9.2m

Time of travel  = 10min

Unknown:

The total shopper's travel distance  = ?

Solution:

Total distance traveled is the sum of the length of path covered by a body. It is a scalar quantity.

 Total distance = distance walked westward + distance walked eastward

  Total distance  = 2.8m + 9.2m  = 12m
