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

1 answer:

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

calculate speed and velocity of the following. the race car was moving for 3.7 hours and during that time it traveled a distance

Ksju [112]

Answer:

v = 135.13 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

The race car was moving for 3.7 hours and during that time it traveled a distance of 500 miles south.

We need to find the speed of the car.

We know that,

Speed = distance/time

So,

$v=\dfrac{500\ miles}{3.7\ h}\\\\v=135.13\ mph$

So, the speed of the car is equal to 135.13 mph.

A 4 kW vacuum cleaner is powered by an electric motor whose efficiency is 90%. (Note that the electric motor delivers 4 W of net

RoseWind [281]

Answer: $3.6\ kW$

Explanation:

Given

Power Supplied $[tex]P_{input}=4\ kW$ [/tex]

Efficiency of the motor $\neta =90\%$

and $\neta =\dfrac{\text{Power output}}{\text{Power input}}$

$\Rightarrow 0.9=\dfrac{P_{out}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow P=0.9\times 4$

$\Rightarrow P=3.6\ kW$

So, vacuum cleaner delivers a power of $3.6\ kW$
