Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Average speed = (4 meters) / (5 seconds)

Average speed = (4/5) (meters/seconds)

Average speed = 0.8 m/s

Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Unclear question. The clear rendering reads;

"Into a U-tube containing mercury, pour on the other side sulfuric acid of density 1.84 and on the other side alcohol of density 0.8 so that the levels are in the same horizontal plane. The height of the acid above the mercury being 24 cm. What is the height of the bar and what variation of the level of the acid, when the mercury density is 13.6?

(a) If two sound waves, one in a gas medium and one in a liquid medium, are equal in intensity, what is the ratio of the pressur

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

(a) The ratio of the pressure amplitude of the waves is 43.21

(b) The ratio of the intensities of the waves is 0.000535

Explanation:

Given;

density of gas, $\rho _g$ = 2.27 kg/m³

density of liquid, $\rho _l$ = 972 kg/m³

speed of sound in gas, $C_g$ = 376 m/s

speed of sound in liquid, $C_l$ = 1640 m/s

The of the sound wave is given by;

$I = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho C} \\\\P_o^2 = 2 \rho C I\\\\p_o = \sqrt{2 \rho CI}$

Where;

$P_o$ is the pressure amplitude

$P_o_g= \sqrt{2 \rho _g C_gI} -------(1)\\\\P_o_l= \sqrt{2 \rho _l C_lI}---------(2)\\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \frac{\sqrt{2 \rho _l C_lI}}{\sqrt{2 \rho _g C_gI}} \\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \rho _l C_lI}{2 \rho _g C_gI} }\\\\ \frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{ \rho _l C_l}{ \rho _g C_g} }\\\\ \frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{ (972)( 1640)}{ (2.27)( 376)} }\\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = 43.21$

(b) when the pressure amplitudes are equal, the ratio of the intensities is given as;

$I = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho C}\\\\I_g = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _g C_g}-------(1)\\\\I_l = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _l C_l}-------(2)\\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = (\frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _l C_l})*(\frac{2\rho_gC_g}{P_o^2} )\\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = \frac{\rho _gC_g}{\rho_lC_l} \\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = \frac{(2.27)(376)}{(972)(1640)}\\\\ \frac{I_l}{I_g} = 0.000535$

When the mass is removed, the length of the cable is found to be l0 = 4.66 m. After the mass is added, the length is remeasured

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

Explanation:

For a linear elastic material Young's modulus is a constant that is given by:

$\gamma=\frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

Here, F is the force exerted on an object under tensio, A is the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the applied force, $\Delta L$ is the amount by which the length of the object changes and $L_0$ is the original length of the object. In this case the force is the weight of the mass:

$F=mg\\F=55kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=539N$

Replacing the given values in Young's modulus formula:

$\gamma=\frac{F/\pi r^2}{(L_1-L_0)/L_0}\\\gamma=\frac{539N/\pi(0.045m)^2}{(5.31m-4.66m)/4.66m}\\\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

Answer:

v₁f = 0.5714 m/s (→)

v₂f = 2.5714 m/s (→)

e = 1

It was a perfectly elastic collision.

Explanation:

m₁ = m

m₂ = 6m₁ = 6m

v₁i = 4 m/s

v₂i = 2 m/s

v₁f = ((m₁ – m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₁i + ((2m₂) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₂i

v₁f = ((m – 6m) / (m + 6m)) * (4) + ((2*6m) / (m + 6m)) * (2)

v₁f = 0.5714 m/s (→)

v₂f = ((2m₁) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₁i + ((m₂ – m₁) / (m₁ + m₂)) v₂i

v₂f = ((2m) / (m + 6m)) * (4) + ((6m -m) / (m + 6m)) * (2)

v₂f = 2.5714 m/s (→)

e = - (v₁f - v₂f) / (v₁i - v₂i) ⇒ e = - (0.5714 - 2.5714) / (4 - 2) = 1

It was a perfectly elastic collision.
