How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

Under what condition(s) is the magnitude of average velocity of an object equal to its average speed?

What is the quantity which is measured by the area occupied below the velocity-time graph?

How are the wavelength and frequency of a sound wave related to its speed?

Why is sound wave called a longitudinal wave?

How are fish obtained?

Two objects, each of mass 1.5 kg, are moving in the same straight line but in opposite directions. The velocity of each object is 2.5 m s^-1 before the collision during which they stick together. What will be the velocity of the combined object after collision?
