Answer:

A 20 Hz sound wave is 75 m long in the water (1500/20 = 75) whereas a 20 Hz sound wave in air is only 17 m long (340/20 = 17) in air. As we descend below the surface of the sea, the speed of sound decreases with decreasing temperature.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

It will take 8.80 sec to fall from the building

Explanation:

We have given height pf the state building h = 380 m

Initial velocity will be 0 m /sec

So u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We have to find the fall time

According to second equation of motion $h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

So $380=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2$

$t^2=77.55$

t = 8.80 sec

How does a change in resistance affect the conductivity of a material?

max2010maxim [7]

Answer: the answer is B the lower the resistance,the higher the conductivity

Explanation:

Resistance is inversely proportional to conductivity,the lower the resistance the higher the conductivity,the metal silver has a very low resistance,thus it conductivity is high

What is the relationship between power and voltage?

kipiarov [429]

<u>Answer:</u>

The power and voltage are related through Power Rule .

<u> Explanation : </u>

Power Rule states that the current I that flows the element in the circuit with a loss in voltage V, then the amount of power dissipated by that element in the circuit is the multiplicative product of voltage and the current.

Mathematically, power law is

$\boldsymbol{P}=\boldsymbol{I} \times \boldsymbol{V}$

The rate of work done or the rate of energy consumption or production is termed as power.Unit of power is denoted as W(watts).

Potential energy between any two points on a circuit is called as Voltage and is measured in volts (V) .
