Answer:A air

Explanation:Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.

Hope this helps you out ツ

A. air would be the correct answer

Sound travels more quickly through solids than through liquids and gases because the molecules of a solid are closer together and, therefore, can transmit the vibrations (energy) faster. Sound travels most slowly through gases because the molecules of a gas are farthest apart.

a football is thrown upward at a 31° angle to the horizontal.the acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2. To throw the ball a distan
mr Goodwill [35]

The ball's vertical position y in the air at time t is

y=v_0\sin31^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2

The ball is at its original height when y=0, which happens at

v_0\sin31^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2=\dfrac t2\left(2v_0\sin31^\circ-gt)=0

\implies t=0\text{ and }t=\dfrac{2v_0\sin31^\circ}g

Meanwhile, the ball's horizontal position x at time t is

x=v_0\cos31^circ\,t

So when the ball reaches its original height a second time, the ball will have traveled a horizontal distance of

x=\dfrac{2{v_0}^2\sin31^\circ\cos31^\circ}g=\dfrac{{v_0}^2\sin(2\cdot31^\circ)}g

(which you might recognize as the formula for the range of a projectile)

To reach a distance of x=77\,\rm m, the initial speed v_0 would be

77\,\mathrm m=\dfrac{{v_0}^2\sin62^\circ}{9.8\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}\implies v_0=29\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

If a particle with a charge of +4.3 × 10−18 C is attracted to another particle by a force of 6.5 × 10−8 N, what is the magnitude
AveGali [126]

Answer: 1.5×10^10 N/C

Explanation:

E= F/q

Where E= magnitude of the electric field

F= force of attraction

q= charge of the given body

Given F= 6.5×10^-8 N

q= 4.3× 10^-18 C

Therefore, E = 6.5×10 ^-8/ 4.3×10^-18

E = 1.5×10^10 N/C

John and mary are skating at an ice rink. john skates at a constant speed of 6.7 m/s, with respect to the ice surface, directly
iragen [17]
60.3° from due south and 5.89 m/s    For this problem, first calculate a translation that will put John's destination directly on the origin and apply that translation to Mary's destination. Then the vector from the origin to Mary's new destination will be the relative vector of Mary as compared to John. So John is traveling due south at 6.7 m/s. After 1 second, he will be at coordinates (0,-6.7). The translation will be (0,6.7)  Mary is traveling 28° West of due south. So her location after 1 second will be  (-sin(28)*10.9, -cos(28)*10.9) = (-5.117240034, -9.624128762)  After translating that coordinate up by 6.7, you get  (-5.117240034, -2.924128762)  The tangent of the angle will be 2.924128762/5.117240034 = 0.57142693  The arc tangent is atan(0.57142693) = 29.74481039° Subtract that value from 90 since you want the complement of the angle which is now 60.25518961°    So Mary is traveling 60.3° relative to due south as seen from John's point of view.  The magnitude of her relative speed is  sqrt(-5.117240034^2 + -2.924128762^2) = 5.893783 m/s    Rounding the results to 3 significant digits results in 60.3° and 5.89 m/s
