Answer:

The speed of sound in air is lower compared to in solids and liquids.

Explanation:

Sound is a wave that can be generated by a vibrating body. Its speed through different media differs due to the nature of the media.

Since the molecules of solids are closely packed, sound can be easily transferred from one molecule to another at a faster rate. Thus, the high speed of sound in solids.

In liquids, the molecules are not as closely packed as solids. So that  the speed of sound though liquids is lower compared to that of solids. Gases has its molecules farther apart, thus making the speed of sound through it the lowest compared to solids and liquids.

Therefore the sound of the batter hitting the ball is heard latter, due to its lower speed through the air.

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 510 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75
8_murik_8 [283]

Complete Question

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 510 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75.0 cm . The power is off for 40.0 s , and during this time the flywheel slows down uniformly due to friction in its axle bearings. During the time the power is off, the flywheel makes 210 complete revolutions. At what rate is the flywheel spinning when the power comes back on(in rpm)? How long after the beginning of the power failure would it have taken the flywheel to stop if the power had not come back on, and how many revolutions would the wheel have made during this time?

Answer:

\theta=274rev

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Angular velocity \omega=510rpm

Mass m=40.kg

Diameter d 75=>0.75m

Off Time t=40.0s

Oscillation at Power off N=210

Generally the equation for Angular displacement is mathematically given by

 \theta_{\infty}=\frac{w+w_0}{t}t

 w=\frac{2*\theta_{\infty}}{t}-w_0

 w=\frac{28210}{40*(\frac{1}{60})}-510

 w=120rpm

Generally the equation for Time to come to rest is mathematically given by

 t=(\frac{\omega_0}{\omega_0-\omega})t

 t=(\frac{510}{510-120rpm})(40.0)(\frac{1}{60})

 t=0.87min

Therefore Angular displacement is

 \theta =(\frac{120+510}{2})0.87

 \theta=274rev

Put the pairs of atoms in order, with the pair that has the biggest electronegativity difference between the two atoms at the to
mojhsa [17]
Electronegativity is the measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. In the periodic table, electronegativity increase across the period because the charges on the nucleus increase. The correct arrangement for the atoms given above is as follows
Flourine and Francium
Chlorine and Cesium
Nitrogen and Sodium
Phosphorus and Lithium
Nitrogen and Sulphur.

Two different liquids are poured into a jar until it is half full. The jar is then sealed shut and shaken. The liquids undergo a
Lilit [14]

Answer:

A closed system.

Explanation:

The three major types of system are: open, closed and isolated. Open system interacts with its surroundings with respect to its particles and energy. A closed system interacts with its surroundings with respect to energy but not its particles. While an isolated system does not interact with its surroundings in any way.

Therefore, after the jar is sealed, it is an example of a closed system. This is because the emitted gas could not escape into the surroundings, but thermal energy was emitted into its surroundings after the chemical reaction has taken place.
