Answer:

* If it is an incandescent lamp, the increase in temperature of the towel could set it on fire,

* If the towel is wet, there could be a short circuit

Explanation:

Covering the lamp with a towel has several problems:

* If it is an incandescent lamp, the increase in temperature of the towel could set it on fire, which could be a danger

* If the lamp is not incandescent, the temperature rise of the towel is not very high,

* If the towel is wet, there could be a short circuit due to the humidity of the lamp with the wet towel

* If the towel is wet when touched, there could be a shock towards the person due to the electrical conduction

Consequently, covering the bulb with a towel is a serious mistake.

Rachel collected data on the speed of sound waves passing through different media.
Helga [31]

The conclusion is, medium Q is most likely a solid because solids have the highest density and sound waves travel fastest in high density media.

<h3>Effect of density on speed of sound</h3>

Sound wave is mechanical wave that requires material medium for its propagation.

A high dense medium, is a medium with closely packed molecules. Since sound wave requires material medium for its propagation, it will travel faster in a high dense medium than a less dense medium.

Thus, the speed of sound increases as the density of the medium increases.

<h3>Speed of sound in the different media</h3>

The conclusion that can be made from the speed of sound in the different media is "Medium Q is most likely a solid because solids have the highest density and sound waves travel fastest in high density media".

Calculate the force experienced by a positive test charge of 8.1 × 10-9 coulombs if the electric field strength is 9.4 × 107 new
Arte-miy333 [17]
The electric force exerted by an electric field of intensity E on a charge q is equal to the product between E and q, so:
F=qE=(8.1 \cdot 10^{-9}C)(9.4 \cdot 10^7 N/C)=0.76 N
