A. Outside on a summer day, there are less particles that the sound bounces off of (snow and wind absorb the sound)

B. Water, sound travels faster through denser objects. Water has a higher density than air.

C. High air pressure, sound moves faster through matter that is closer together. This can be said because sound can't travel through space. (There is no atmosphere and consistent particles in space for sound to go through)

D. A piece of steel, It's denser than wood and water.

E. 90% nitrogen and 10% helium, nitrogen is denser than helium so it will move faster

A navy diver hears the underwater sound wave from an exploding ship across the harbor. They immediately lift their head out of t
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

s = 1800 m = 1.8 km

Explanation:

The distance, the speed, and the time of reach of the sound are related by the following formula:

s = vt

where,

s = distance

v = speed

t = time

FOR WATER:

s = v_wt ---------------------- eq (1)

where,

s = distance between ship and diver = ?

v_w = speed of sound in water = 1440 m/s

t = time taken by sound in water

FOR AIR:

s = v_a(t+4\ s) ---------------------- eq (2)

where,

s = distance between ship and diver = ?

v_a = speed of sound in water = 344 m/s

t + 4 s = time taken by sound in water

Comparing eq (1) and eq (2),because distance remains constant:

v_wt=v_a(t+4\ s)\\\\(1440\ m/s)t = (344\ m/s)(t+4\ s)\\(1440\ m/s - 344\ m/s)t=1376\ m\\t = \frac{1376\ m}{1096\ m/s}

t = 1.25 s

Now using this value in eq (1):

s = (1440\ m/s)(1.25\ s)

<u>s = 1800 m = 1.8 km</u>

Explain the following observation referring to the appropriate process of heat transfer in each case
tigry1 [53]
If the two cups are the same/equal in all regards the spoon makes the difference in heat loss. Metal spoon is a good conductor, heat conducts up the spoon handle. Radiant and convection losses occur in the surrounding air. Metal becomes a “heat sink”.

Spoon will feel warmer to the touch than a pottery or foam cup that is not a good conductor.

An object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. At what velocity will it hit the ground?
Vikki [24]
Data:
h=25 m
v₀=0 m/s
g=9,8 m/s²

we use this formula
h=h₀+v₀.t+(1/2).g.t²
25 m=0 m+0 m/s.t+(1/2).(9,8 m/s²).t²
25 m=4,9 m/s².t²
t²=25 m /4,9 m/s²
t²=5,1 s²
t=√(5,1 s²)=2,26 s 

Now, we calculate the última velocity 
v=v₀+gt
v=0 m/s+9,8 m/s².(2,26 s)=22,14 m/s≈22 m/s

solution: c.)  22 m/s

The sun is currently a ____________ star.
Karolina [17]
<span>The sun is currently a hot ball of glowing gases that is considered as a star. It is the center of our solar system. Its power is responsible for bringing life to this planet and it also affects the orbits of distant planets like Neptune and Pluto. Without it, Earth will not have the capacity to sustain life and maintain its balance.<span>
