We all know that the sound travels faster through solids and then liquids and then through gases.
As far as i know solids are the medium through which the sound travels fast.
But in some websites I saw that as the density increases , the velocity of the sound decreases.If this statement is correct , how come the sound travels fastest through solids (since they have higher density)
From this it is clear that not only sound as compression wave But also in the form of Shear wave travels in Solids
This makes it easier for sound to travel with higher speed in solids
The answer is B. On a sunny day, the air over a lake will be cooler than the air over the bordering land.
When the temperature lowers the plants can freeze and die. One way to prevent that is to cover the plants so they dont freeze
Answer:

Explanation:
When a spring is compressed, the force exerted by the spring is given by:

where
k is the spring constant
x is the compression of the spring
In this problem we have:
k = 52 N/m is the spring constant
x = 43 cm = 0.43 m is the compression
Therefore, the force exerted by the spring on the dart is

Now we can apply Newton' second law of motion to calculate the acceleration of the dart:

where
F = 22.4 N is the force exerted on the dart by the spring
m = 75 g = 0.075 kg is the mass of the dart
a is its acceleration
Solving for a,
