The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.
In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.
Here's the formula for the distance covered by an accelerating body in some amount of time ' T '. This formula is incredibly simple but incredibly useful. It pops up so often in Physics that you really should memorize it:
D = 1/2 a T²
Distance = (1/2)·(acceleration)·(time²)
This question gives us the acceleration and the distance, and we want to find the time.
(9,000 m) = (1/2) (20 m/s²) (time²)
(9,000 m) = (10 m/s²) (time²)
Divide each side by 10 m/s²:
(9,000 m) / (10 m/s²) = (time²)
900 s² = time²
Square root each side:
<em>T = 30 seconds</em>
Answer: magnitude and direction
Explanation:They are the two aspects of force that scientists measure
R=U^2/P=120*120/40=360 ohm
P2=U2^2/R=132*132/360=48.4 w
power increase ratio (48.4-40)/40=21%
<span>The three major types of
symbiosis are mutualism, where both species benefit, commensalism, where
one species benefits and the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where
one species benefits and the other is harmed. Symbiotic relationships can occur within an organism's body or outside of it. </span><span>Examples of mutualism include the
relationship between single-celled organisms or animals that incorporate
algae into their bodies. They give the algae necessary nutrients, and
in return receive chemical energy from the photosynthetic algae. Animals
that have this sort of relationship include some sponges, sea anemones
and clams.
Examples of commensalism include remora fish attaching to the bodies
of sharks and eating scraps of food that escape their jaws, and
barnacles living on the jaws of whales with a similar feeding strategy.
Plants have commensal relationships as well, such as many orchids that
grow on taller plants and benefit from the additional sunlight they
obtain, without actually stealing nutrients from the host plant.
Parasitic relationships are many, and parasites include all
disease-causing organisms. This category also includes insects such as
fleas that suck the blood of hosts externally. Parasitism is a very
efficient strategy for organisms, and parasites often lose many of the
features of non-parasitic life forms, instead relying on their hosts for
many of the functions of life.</span>
