Why do you think the speed of sound is higher in solids, than liquids and gases?

1 answer:

mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Particles of a solid are closely packed, and when a solid is hit to produce a sound the kinetic energy present in the solid will cause the particles to vibrate vigorously in the intermolecular spaces in the solid, whereas the paticles of liquids and gases are rather further apart therefore having large intermolecular spaces between particles.

Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. Its mass is 2

lbvjy [14]

Density = mass/volume, volume = mass/density.
Since the mass of the small cube equals 20 and the mass of the large cube is double it would be 40.
Now plug in volume = 40 g/(7.87 g/cm^3).
Thus giving you a volume 5.08 cm^3

Explain the correspondence that lets us easily translate between linear motion and rotational motion. What are the linear analog

RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

The linear analog of angle is angle itself.

The linear analog of angular velocity is linear velocity.

ω is angular velocity, therefore linear velocity is given by v

∴ for linear velocity, $v^{2} = u^{2}+2.a.S$

for angular velocity, $\omega_{f}^{2} = \omega _{i}^{2}+2.a.S$

The linear analog of angular acceleration is acceleration.

α is angular acceleration whereas as a is linear acceleration.

∴ for linear acceleration, v = u + a.t

for angular acceleration, $\omega_{f}= \omega _{i}+\alpha .t$

The linear analog of moment of inertia is mass.

I is moment of inertia and m is mass,

∴ for linear analog, F = m.a

for angular analog, τ - I.α

Excellent human jumpers can leap straight up to a height of

Firlakuza [10]

For a human jumper to reach a height of 110 cm, the person will need to leave the ground at a speed of 4.65 m/s.

We can calculate the initial speed to reach 110 cm of height with the following equation:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - 2gh$

Where:

$v_{f}$ : is the final speed = 0 (at the maximum height of 110 cm)

$v_{i}$ : is the initial speed =?

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 110 cm = 1.10 m

Hence, the <u>initial velocity</u> is:

$v_{i} = \sqrt{v_{f}^{2} + 2gh} = \sqrt{2*9.81 m/s^{2}*1.10 m} = 4.65 m/s$

Therefore, the initial speed that the person must have to reach 110 cm is 4.65 m/s.

A tray is moved horizontally back and forth in simple harmonic motion at a frequency of f = 2.07 Hz. On this tray is an empty cu

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of SHM is $f=2.07\ Hz$

Amplitude of SHM is $A=3.13\ cm$

Cup begins to slip when it overcomes the friction force

Friction force $F_s=\mu mg$

Applied force $F=ma$

$ma=\mu mg$

$a=\mu g$

and maximum acceleration during SHM is

$a=A\omega ^2$

$a=A(2\pi f)^2$

$a=3.13\times 10^{-2}\times (2\pi 2.07)^2$

$a=5.296\ m/s^2$

$\mu =\frac{a}{g}$

$\mu =\frac{5.296}{9.8}=0.54$
