Answer:

Sound waves in liquids and gases involve alternating compression and rarefaction of material along a line defining the direction of propagation of the wave. These waves are known as longitudinal waves, and of course exist only in a medium that can be compressed and rarefied. In solids, sound energy also produces longitudinal waves, but it can also produce transverse waves, in which compression and rarefaction occurs perpendicular to the direction of propagation. These two waves propagate at different speeds, a phenomenon that is most noticeable in earthquakes. The first wave gives notice that the quake is coming, the second one does the damage. The time between the two tells you how far away the epicenter is. In water there is another kind of wave, called a gravity wave, the kind you see at the beach. All of these wave require a medium. There is no sound in a vacuum.

Which of the following statements are true? (There may be more than one correct choice.)

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

option (A)

Explanation:

According to the Archimede's principle, when a body s immersed partly or wholly in a liquid, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the loss in the weight of body.

The weight of liquid displaces by the body is equal to the loss in weight of body.

Thus, option (a) is true.

A fire truck has a searchlight with a resistance of 60 (ohm) which is placed across a 24-V battery. What is the current in this

Mariulka [41]

Answer: 0.4 Amps

Explanation:

Voltage of battery = 24 Volts

Current I = ?

Resistance of searchlight (R)= 60ohms (Ω is the symbol for ohms)

Then, apply the formula for ohms law

Voltage = Current x resistance

i.e V = I x R

24V = I x 60Ω

I = 24V / 60Ω

I = 0.4 Amps (Amps is the unit of current)

Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.4 Amps

Force F acts between a pair of charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. For each of the statements, use the drop-down menu

lora16 [44]

The initial force between the two charges is given by:

$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, d their separation. Let's analyze now the other situations:

1. F

In this case, q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = \frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2' = 2 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(\frac{q_1}{2})(2q_2)}{d^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=F$

So the force has not changed.

2. F/4

In this case, q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = q_1\\q_2' = q_2\\d' = 2d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{q_1 q_2)}{(2d)^2}=\frac{1}{4} k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{4}$

So the force has decreased by a factor 4.

3. 6F

In this case, q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = 2 q_1\\q_2' = 3 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(2 q_1)(3 q_2)}{d^2}=6 k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=6F$

So the force has increased by a factor 6.

I don't understand any of this please help !

OlgaM077 [116]

You can see what is the electron configuration by looking at the layout of the periodic tables. the first shell will have a max of 2 electrons on it, once the first one is filled up a second is added with a max of 8 electrons on it and so on with the 8 as a max. so He, and H will only have them on the first shell but every horizontal row is a new valence or outer shell. so lets say for carbon look at the number in the upper left corner of the box will tell you the total number of electrons you will need. so start off with the first two electrons on the first shell. now you know that carbon needs 6 electrons in total, since you can only have a max of 2 on the first shell you need a second one so on the second one you will have to have the remaining 4. now elements are most stable when they have a full valence shell becuase those are the only electrons that will react with others. so if carbon has 4 it wants to either gain or lose 4 electrons so you could say that it would bond with 4H since each H will donate 1 electron to the C valence shell making all the H and C stable.
