Answer:

Concrete

Explanation:

The speed at which sound propagates is medium dependent. As one of the forms of mechanical waves, sound requires a material medium for propagation from place to place.

Sound travels with the least speed in air because air particles are far apart and they are randomized.
Sound travels with the greatest speed in solids. Concrete is the only solid material given in the choice.

The speed of sound increases from air to liquid and to solid.

Question 2

Answer:

Approximately $73\; {\rm N}$ , assuming that the acceleration of this ball is constant during the descent.

Explanation:

Assume that the acceleration of this ball, $a$ , is constant during the entire descent.

Let $x$ denote the displacement of this ball and let $t$ denote the duration of the descent. The SUVAT equation $x = (1/2)\, a\, t^{2}$ would apply.

Rearrange this equation to find an expression for the acceleration, $a$ , of this ball:

$\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{2\, x}{t^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

Note that $x = 11\; {\rm m}$ and $t = 1.5\; {\rm s}$ in this question. Thus:

$\begin{aligned} a &= \frac{2\, x}{t^{2}} \\ &= \frac{2 \times 11\; {\rm m}}{(1.5\; {\rm s})^{2}} \\ &\approx 9.78\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}\end{aligned}$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of this ball. By Newton's Second Law of Motion, if the acceleration of this ball is $a$ , the net external force on this ball would be $m\, a$ .

Since $m = 7.5\; {\rm kg}$ and $a \approx 9.78\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ , the net external force on this ball would be:

$\begin{aligned} (\text{net force}) &= m\, a \\ &\approx 7.5\; {\rm kg} \times 9.78\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}} \\ &\approx 73\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2} \\ &= 73\; {\rm N} && (1\; {\rm N} = 1\; {\rm kg \cdot m\cdot s^{-2}}) \end{aligned}$ .

There are 8.8 liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.75 atmospheres. The temperature remains constant, and the gas is comp

saveliy_v [14]

The new pressure P2 is 2.48 atmosphere.

Explanation:

Here, the one of the product of pressure and volume is equal to the products of pressure and volume of other.

By using Boyles's law,

pressure is inversely proportional to volume,

P1 V1 = P2 V2

where P1, V1 represents the first pressure and volume,

P2, V2 represents the second pressure and volume

P2 = (P1 V1) / V2

= (1.75 $\times$ 8.8) / 6.2

P2 = 2.48 atmosphere.

Why does the speed of an object change when a force acts on it?

Crazy boy [7]

It changes because force is somewhat like pressure. Force is continuously against the object so as a result, speed changes .
