An area where the particles in a medium are spaced close together is called a _____.
2 answers:
Answer : Compression
Explanation :
An area where the particles in a medium are spaced close together is called a compression. In this region the particles are very close to each other.
In the attached figure, the rarefaction and compression is shown very clearly. In rarefaction, the particles of medium are very far apart form each other.
The distance between two consecutive compression and rarefaction is called the wavelength of wave.
So, the compression is the area where the particles are close to each other.

F is the net force on the fry
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
For the fry in this problem,
Therefore, the force exerted on the fry is

The emerging velocity of the bullet is <u>71 m/s.</u>
The bullet of mass <em>m</em> moving with a velocity <em>u</em> has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed <em>v</em> when it emerges from the block.
If the block exerts a resistive force <em>F</em> on the bullet and the thickness of the block is <em>x</em> then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,
This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.
If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v<em>₁.</em>
Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,
Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v<em>₁.</em>
Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s
