We all know that the sound travels faster through solids and then liquids and then through gases.
As far as i know solids are the medium through which the sound travels fast.
But in some websites I saw that as the density increases , the velocity of the sound decreases.If this statement is correct , how come the sound travels fastest through solids (since they have higher density)
From this it is clear that not only sound as compression wave But also in the form of Shear wave travels in Solids
This makes it easier for sound to travel with higher speed in solids
Answer:
the maximum mass that can hang without sinking is 2.93 kg
Explanation:
Given: details:
sphere diameter d = 20 cm
so, radius r = 10 cm = 0.10 m
density of the Styrofoam sphere D = 300 kg/m3
sphere volume 

=4.18*10^{-3} m^3
we know that

mass M = Density * Volume
= (300)(4.18*10^{-3} m3)
=1.25 kg
mass of the water displace = volume *density of water
= 4.18*10^{-3} m3 * 1000
= 4.18 kg
The difference between the mass of water and mass of styrofoam is the amount of mass that the sphere can support
=4.18 kg -1.25 kg
= 2.93 kg
Answer:
v = 15.65 m/s
Explanation:
We use conservation of mechanical energy between initial (i) and final (f) states:
Pi + KEi = Pf + KEf
At the top of the cave at the instant the bat starts to fall, there is only potential energy since the bat's velocity is zero.
Pi = m g h = 600 J
and the KEi = 0 J (no velocity)
Knowing the height of the cave's roof (12.8 m) , we can find the mass of the bat:
m = 600 J / (g 12.5) = 4.9 kg
Using conservation of mechanical energy, the final state is:
Pf + KEf = 600 J
with Pf = 0 (just touching the ground)
KEf= 1/2 4.9 (v^2)
and we solve for the velocity:
600 J = 0 + 1/2 4.9 (v^2)
v^2 = 600 * 2 / 4.9 = 244.9
v = 15.65 m/s
Answer: The answer is False
Explanation: This is for the one's in apex <>
Explanation:
It represents the direction of flow of positive charge but is treated as a scalar quantity because current follows the laws of scalar addition and not the laws of vector addition. The angle between the wires carrying current does not affect the total current in the circuit.
