Which is the BEST explanation for why the speed of sound changes for solids, liquids, and gases?

Physics
1 answer:
garik1379 [7]3 years ago
5 0

the reason why sound travels faster in solid is because the molecules in solid is more close to each other and they allow the waves of the sound to travel quickly or easily. and same reason why the sound travels fast in liquid that gas, it's because the molecules in liquid is closer to each other than the molecules in gas but they're not as close as solid hence why solid is the fastest at traveling sound

3. A bicycle has a momentum of 25.00 kg* m/s and a velocity of 2.5 m/s . What is the bicycle's
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

The question is most likely asking for the mass of the bicycle.

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Mathematically:

p = m * v

Where p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Hence, mass is:

m = p / v

From the question:

p = 25 kgm/s

v = 2.5 m/s

Mass is:

m = 25 / 2.5 = 10 kg

The mass of the bicycle is 10 kg.

In case the question requires the Kinetic energy of the bicycle, it can be gotten by using the formula

K. E = ½ * p * v

K. E. = ½ * 25 * 2.5 = 31.25 J

How would you determine the volume of an irregular shaped object.
Archy [21]
You can use the displacement method or the eureka can so basically in the displacement can what you have to do is to put some water into a measuring cylinder and measure its volume before adding the irregular shaped object and then measuring the level of water which had been displaced and then eureka can you can check online

A mass free to vibrate on a level, frictionless surface at the end of a horizontal spring is pulled 35 cm from its equilibrium p
saul85 [17]

Answer:

0.67 s

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion (SHM).

The displacement, x, of an SHM is given by

x = A\cos(\omega t)

A is the amplitude and \omega is the angular frequency.

We could use a sine function, in which case we will include a phase angle, to indicate that the oscillation began from a non-equilibrium point. We are using the cosine function for this particular case because the oscillation began from an extreme end, which is one-quarter of a single oscillation, when measured from the equilibrium point. One-quarter of an oscillation corresponds to a phase angle of 90° or \frac{\pi}{4} radian.

From trigonometry, \sin A =\cos B if A and B are complementary.

At t = 0, x = 3.5

3.5 = A\cos(\omega \times0)

A =3.5

So

x = 3.5\cos(\omega t)

At t = 0.12, x = 1.5

1.5 = 3.5\cos(0.12\omega)

\cos(0.12\omega)=\dfrac{1.5}{3.5}=0.4286

0.12\omega =\cos^{-1}0.4286

0.12\omega = 1.13

\omega = 9.4

The period, T, is related to \omega by

T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = \dfrac{2\times3.14}{9.4}=0.67
