Answer: an underground lake</h2>
Explanation:
In general, sound (mechanical waves) travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. This is because <u>the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium </u>in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium (that is:<u>density</u>).
In other words: The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which the sound waves travel.
So, if we are told the sound wave initially had a speed of 4,000 m/s and it suddenly decreases to 1,500 m/s, this means the sound waves passed from a solid medium to a liquid medium.
Hence, the correct option is: an underground lake.
Explanation:
first you have to find accelerarion, it is given that the initial velocity(u) is 3 m/s, distance travelled(s) be 2m finall it came to rest so final velocity be 0m/s
now using the 3rd law of motion
v^2=u^2+2as
0=9+2a2
a= -9/4m/s^2
now force=mass×accelration
=2kg×(-9/4)m/s^2
=4.5 N
4.5 newton force applied on the book!
