Through which medium would sound travel the fastest, water, a steel bar, or nitrogen gas explain

1 answer:

3 0

It would travel faster through a steel bar, because sound waves travel by vibrating molecules in a medium. In solids, these molecules are spaced closer together, causing sound to travel faster through it. so that means the second fastest medium is liquid and the slowest is gas

Why is it necessary that all three thermometers were at approximately the same distance from the light bulb

iris [78.8K]

I'm assuming it was to keep the data consistent? The further you are from a heat source the less heat will get to you as the temperature tries to reach equilibrium and the waves start to spread out, so you should keep everything the same distance to get consistent results. I don't have any information so this is just my assumption

A 100 V battery is connected across a

Sergio039 [100]

1 mA = 0.001 A

Therefore, 5 mA = 0.001 * 5

=0.005 A

Resistance = voltage / current

= 100 / 0.005

= 20000 ohms

Current = voltage / resistance

= 25 / 20000

= 0.00125 A (or) 1.25 mA

An airplane traveling 919 m above the ocean at 505 m/s is to drop a case of twinkies to the victims below. How much time before

Elena L [17]

Answer:

a. 13.7 s b. 6913.5 m

Explanation:

a. How much time before being directly overhead should the box be dropped?

Since the box falls under gravity we use the equation

y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of plane above ocean = 919 m, u = initial vertical velocity of airplane = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² and t = time it takes the airplane to be directly overhead.

So,

y = ut - 1/2gt²

y = 0 × t - 1/2gt²

y = 0 - 1/2gt²

y = - 1/2gt²

t² = -2y/g

t = √(-2y/g)

So, t = √(-2 × 919 m/-9.8 m/s²)

t = √(-1838 m/-9.8 m/s²)

t = √(187.551 m²/s²)

t = 13.69 s

t ≅ 13.7 s

So, the box should be dropped 13.69 s before being directly overhead.

b. What is the horizontal distance between the plane and the victims when the box is dropped?

The horizontal distance x between plane and victims, x = speed of plane × time it takes for box to drop = 505 m/s × 13.69 s = 6913.45 m ≅ 6913.5 m

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Abbie is one meter from the center o

klio [65]

Answer:

The acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of an object on a circular path is given by :

$a=r\omega^2$

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Let $r_1$ is distance of Abbie from the merry-go-round and $r_2$ is distance of Zak's from the merry-go-round. Acceleration of Abbie is :
