Using your own words and complete sentences, explain why the density of the medium a wave propagates through affects the speed. Your explanation should include the effect of density on wave speed.
The speed of sound depends on the elasticity and density of the medium through which it is traveling. In general, sound travels faster in liquids than in gases and faster in solids than in liquids. The greater the elasticity and the lower the density, the faster sound travels in a medium. The mathematical relationship is speed =
(elasticity/density).
The effect of elasticity and density on the speed of sound can be seen by comparing the speed of sound in air, hydrogen, and iron. Air and hydrogen have nearly the same elastic properties, but the density of hydrogen is less than that of air. Sound thus travels faster (about 4 times as fast) in hydrogen than in air. Although the density of air is much less than that of iron, the elasticity of iron is very much greater than that of air. Sound thus travels faster (about 14 times as fast) in iron than in air.
The speed of sound in a material, particularly in a gas or liquid, varies with temperature because a change in temperature affects the material's density. In air, for example, the speed of sound increases with an increase in temperature.
Using your own words and complete sentences, explain why the density of the medium a wave...

1. Answer the following in your own words (a couple of sentences is fine). (a) Explain in your own words why price equals marginal cost in perfectly competitive markets. (b) If you draw out the long-run total cost function for a firm (with q on the horizontal axis, and $ on the vertical axis) it will go through the origin (the point (0, 0)), but this is not the case for the short-run cost function. Why? (c) If you drew...

Explain in your own words what the meaning of domain is. Also, explain why a denominator cannot be zero. Find the domain for each of the two rational expressions below. Write the domain of each rational expression in set notation (as demonstrated in the example). Do both of your rational expressions have excluded values in their domains? If yes, explain why they are to be excluded from the domains. If no, explain why no exclusions are necessary. Incorporate the following...
