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.) If its booster rockets accelerate the space shuttle at 15m/s2, how high will it be one minute after launch?
poizon [28]

Answer:

27,000 m

450 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity is 0 m/s:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 15 m/s²

t = 60 s

A) Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (60 s) + ½ (15 m/s²) (60 s)²

Δy = 27,000 m

B) Find: v_avg

v_avg = Δy / t

v_avg = 27,000 m / 60 s

v_avg = 450 m/s

the density of dry air at 20 degrees celsius is 1.20 g/L. What is the mass of air, in kilograms, of a room that measures 24.0m b
horsena [70]
<h2>Mass of air in a room that measures 24.0 m by 15.0 m by 4.0 m is 1728 kg.</h2>

Explanation:

Density of air = 1.20 g/L = \frac{1.20\times 10^{-3}kg}{10^{-3}m^3}=1.2kg/m^3

Size of room is 24.0m by 15.0 m by 4.0 m

Volume of room = 24 x 15 x 4 = 1440 m³

We know the equation

            Mass = Volume x Density

            Mass = 1440 x 1.2

            Mass = 1728 kg  

Mass of air in a room that measures 24.0 m by 15.0 m by 4.0 m is 1728 kg.

What is the car's average velocity (in m/s) in the interval between t = 1.0 s<br> to t = 1.5 s?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

1.4 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following data:

Initial Displacement (d1) = 0.9 m

Final Displacement (d2) = 1.6 m

Initial time (t1) = 1.5 secs

Final time (t2) = 2 secs

Velocity (v) =..?

The velocity of an object can be defined as the rate of change of the displacement of the object with time. Mathematically, it can be expressed as follow:

Velocity = change of displacement /time

v = Δd / Δt

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the velocity of the car as follow:

Initial Displacement (d1) = 0.9 m

Final Displacement (d2) = 1.6 m

Change in displacement (Δd) = d2 – d1 = 1.6 – 0.9

= 0.7 m

Initial time (t1) = 1.5 secs

Final time (t2) = 2 secs

Change in time (Δt) = t2 – t1

= 2 – 1.5

= 0.5 s

Velocity (v) =..?

v = Δd / Δt

v = 0.7/0.5

v = 1.4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car is 1.4 m/s

A submerged submarine alters its _____ to rise or fall in the water.
Dima020 [189]
Are there any answer choices?
Submarines use <span>buoyancy by filling ballast tanks up with water. When they are filled with water, they are more dense than the surrounding water, so they are able to sink. If they want to rise, they fill these tanks up with air so that the density is less than the water it surrounds. 
Hope this helps! :)</span>
