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

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

A horizontal force acts on an object on a fric- tionless horizontal surface. If the force is halved and the mass of the object i
guapka [62]

(a)  If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b)  if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.

The force on an object is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{F_2}{m_2a_2}

(a)

when the force is halved, F₂ = 0.5F₁,

mass is doubled, m₂ = 2m₁

\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{0.5F_1}{2m_1a_2} \\\\2m_1a_2F_1 = 0.5F_1 m_1a_1\\\\2a_2 = 0.5a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{0.5a_1}{2} = \frac{a_1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{a_1}{4} \\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{4} (a_1)

Thus, If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b)

when the force is doubled, F₂ = 2F₁,

mass is halved, m₂ = 0.5m₁

\frac{F_1}{m_1 a_1} = \frac{2F_1}{0.5m_1 a_2} \\\\0.5m_1a_2 F_1 = 2F_1m_1a_1\\\\0.5a_2 = 2a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{2a_1}{0.5} \\\\a_2 = 4(a_1)

Thus, if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.

If a cart of a roller coaster has a mass of 250kg and is at a height of 14 meters. What is the cart's potential energy?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

3430000 J

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.

M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.

First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).

From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).

What happens when two forces act in the same direction?
Wewaii [24]

Using the picture provided the forces are added together, because they are putting force on an object the same direction, thus the forces are added.
