Rachel collected data on the speed of sound waves passing through different media.

1 answer:

7 0

The conclusion is, medium Q is most likely a solid because solids have the highest density and sound waves travel fastest in high density media.

<h3>Effect of density on speed of sound</h3>

Sound wave is mechanical wave that requires material medium for its propagation.

A high dense medium, is a medium with closely packed molecules. Since sound wave requires material medium for its propagation, it will travel faster in a high dense medium than a less dense medium.

Thus, the speed of sound increases as the density of the medium increases.

<h3>Speed of sound in the different media</h3>

The conclusion that can be made from the speed of sound in the different media is "Medium Q is most likely a solid because solids have the highest density and sound waves travel fastest in high density media".

Using energy considerations, calculate the average force (in N) a 67.0 kg sprinter exerts backward on the track to accelerate fr

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$F_{sprinter}=110.4N$

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=67.0 kg

Final Speed vf=8.00 m/s

Initial Speed vi=2.00 m/s

Distance d=25.0 m

Force F=30.0 N

From work-energy theorem we know that the work done equals the change in kinetic energy

W=ΔK=Kf-Ki=1/2mvf²-1/2mvi²

And

$W=F_{total}.d$

$W=1/2mv_{f}^2-1/2mv_{i}^2\\F_{total}=\frac{1/2mv_{f}^2-1/2mv_{i}^2}{d} \\F_{total}=\frac{1/2(67.0kg)(8.00m/s)^2-1/2(67.0kg)(2.00m/s)^2}{25.0m} \\F_{total}=80.4N$

and we know that the force the sprinter exerted Fsprinter the force of the headwind Fwind=30.0N

$F_{sprinter}=F_{total}+F_{wind}\\F_{sprinter}=80.4N+30N\\F_{sprinter}=110.4N$

A man, holding a weight in each hand, stands at the center of a horizontal frictionless rotating turntable. The effect of the we

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

w = 2w₀ the angular velocity of man doubles

Explanation:

In this exercise, releasing the weights reduces the moment of inertia

I= I₀ / 2

Therefore, since the platform system plus man is isolated, the kinetic moment must be conserved

L₀ = L

I₀ w₀ = I w

I₀ w₀ = I₀ / 2 w

w = 2w₀

therefore the angular velocity of man doubles

A bowler throws a bowling ball of radius R = 11 cm along a lane. The ball slides on the lane with initial speed vcom,0 = 6.0 m/s

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of the ball is $R=11cm=0.11m$

Initial speed of the ball is $v_{com0}=6.0m/s$

Initial angular speed of the ball is $\omega = 0$

Coefficient of kinetic friction between the ball and the lane

is $\mu =0.35$

Due to the presence of frictional force, ball moves with

decreasing velocity.

(a)

velocity $v_{com0}$ in terms of $\omega$ is

$V_{com0} = -R\omega\\\\=-(0.11m)\omega\\\\= (-0.11\omega)m/s$

(b)

Ball's linear acceleration is given by

$a=-\mu g\\\\=-(0.35) (9.8 m/s^2)\\\\= -3.43m/s^2$

(c)

During sliding, ball's angular acceleration is calculated as

$\alpha=-\frac{\tau}{I}\\\\-\frac{\mu mgR}{(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)}\\\\-\frac{2}{5}\frac{\mu g}{R}\\\\-\frac{2}{5}\frac{(0.35)(9.8)}{0.11}\\\\-77.95rad/s^2$

(d)

The time for which the ball slides is calculated from the

equation of motion is

$V_{cm}= V_{cm0} + at\\\\V_{cm} = V_{cm0} + (-\mu g )t\\\\-0.11\omega=6.0m/s -(3.43m/s^2 )t\\\\-(0.11) (\alpha t) =6.0 m/s - (3.43 m/s^2)\\\\- (0.11)(-77.95 rad/s^2)t = 6.0m/s - (3.43 m/s^2 )t\\\\8.5745t + 3.43t= 6.0\\\\12.0045t = 6.0\\\\t= 0.4998s$

(e)

Distance traveled by the ball is

$X= V_{com,0}+ \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\= (6.0m/s)(0.4998 s)+ 0.5(-3.43m/s^2) (0.4998 s)^2\\\\=2.57m$

(for)

The speed of the ball when smooth rolling begins is

$V_{cm} = V_{com, 0}+ at\\\\=6.0 m/s +(-3.43m/s^2 )(0.4998 s)\\\\= 4.29m/s$
