Answer:
0.8m per second
Explanation:
we measure speed as distance over time
distance=8m
time=10s
therefore speed = 8/10
=0.8m per second
The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.
In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.
Explanation:
that the people closer too the head of the table will feel more vibrations than the people at the end of the table. since the vibrations will slow down as they travel farther down the table
Hope this helps!!
The EM spectrum has no limits. Any frequency you can imagine
is the frequency of some electromagnetic radiation somewhere.
When YOU speak, YOUR vocal cords vibrate, sending sound waves through the air and causing MY ear drums to vibrate.
