Answer:

895522 times faster.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Speed of sound in air (v) = 335 m/s

Speed of light in air (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

How many times faster =.?

To obtain how many times faster light travels in air than sound, do the following

c : v => 3×10⁸ : 335

c/v = 3×10⁸ / 335

c/v = 895522

Cross multiply

c = 895522 × v

From the illustrations made above, we can see that the speed of the light in air (c) is 895522 times the speed of sound in air.

Thus, light travels 895522 times faster than sound in air.

Five properties of magnet​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

1. The magnet is magnetic and can attract iron articles.

2. The magnet has magnetic poles. Each magnet has two kinds of poles: N pole and S pole. They are in pairs.

3. Temporary magnet and permanent magnet: when the ferromagnetic material is magnetized, it is easy to lose the magnetic property, which is called temporary magnet (for example: iron); when the ferromagnetic material is magnetized, it is not easy to lose the magnetic property, which is called permanent magnet (for example: steel).

4. When two magnets are close to each other, the same poles will repel and push away from each other, and the different poles will attract and stick to each other. Therefore: the same pole repels each other, the different pole attracts each other.

5. The attraction of a magnetic object is called magnetism. An object is surrounded by a magnetic material. The area affected by the magnetic force is called the magnetic field.
