The speed of sound, c, is given by the Newton-Laplace formula

where
K = bulk modulus
ρ = density
Because the density is constant, the speed of sound is proportional to the square root of the bulk modulus.
Therefore when the bulk modulus increases, the speed of sound increases by the square root of the bulk modulus.
For example, if K is doubled, then

Answer:
If the bulk modulus increases by a factor of n, then c increases by a factor of √n.
Let us follow the motion of the hammer first. Because the elevator is in motion, when he drops the hammer, because of inertia, there is a slight moment when the hammer also rises with the elevator. Eventually it will reach its highest peak and drop down to the floor. So, the total time for the hammer to reach the floor would include: (1) the time for it to rise with the elevator to its highest peak and (2) the time for the free fall from the highest peak to the floor.
1.) Time for it to rise with the elevator to its highest peak:
Hmax = v²/2g = (6 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²) = 1.835 m
Time to reach 1.835 m = 1.835 m * 1 s/6 m = 0.306 s
Time for the free fall from the highest peak to the floor:
t = √2y/g, where y is the total height
y = 1.835 m + 42 m = 43.835 m
So,
t = √2(43.835 m )/(9.81 m/s²) = 2.989 s
Therefore, the total time is 0.306 s + 2.989 s = 3.3 seconds
2.) Velocity of impact of a free-falling body is:
v = √2gy
v = √2(9.81 m/s²)(43.835 m)
v = 29.33 m/s
Answer: Option B) chemical --> electrical
Explanation:
Batteries convert their stored chemical energy into electrical energy in order to power appliances.
So, the conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy explains how energy is conserved in nature, such that energy is neither created nor destroyed.
Explanation:
a) zero, since the machine is mounted on the truck
b) 126 km/hr
c) 85 km/hr
d) 126 km/hr + 85 km/hr = 211 km/hr
