Q|C The speed of a one-dimensional compressional wave traveling along a thin copper rod is 3.56 km/s . The rod is given a sharp

hammer blow at one end. A listener at the far end of the rod hears the sound twice, transmitted through the metal and through air, with a time interval Δt between the two pulses.(d) Imagine that the copper rod is replaced by another material through which the speed of sound is v_r . What is the length of the rod in terms of t and v_r ?

The length of rod in terms v(r) and t is L = [  Δt / (1/343) - (1/v(r)) ].

3.56 km/s is the speed of a one-dimensional compressional wave moving along a thin copper rod.

At one end of the rod, a hard hammer strike is delivered. With a time interval of Δt between the two pulses, a listener at the other end of the rod hears the sound twice as it travels through the metal and the air.

The time interval is given by t = L/v.

The delay between pulses arrivals is:

Δt = L [(1/v(air)) - (1/v(copper))]

Now,

When the copper rod is swapped out for a different substance and the sound speed is measured as v(r).

The speed of air, v(air) = 343 m/s

Then,

L = [  Δt / (1/v(air)) - (1/v(r)) ]

L = [  Δt / (1/343) - (1/v(r)) ]

Here L is the length of the rod, Δt is in seconds and v(r) is the speed of sound in the rod.

egoroff_w [7]
<span>The moment of inertia of the large sphere will be twice that of the smaller sphere.
   The formula for the moment of inertia for a solid sphere is:
 I = (2/5)mr^2
 where
 I = moment of inertia
 m = mass
  r = radius

   Since both spheres have the same diameter, they also have the same radius, so the only change is their mass. And the moment of inertia is directly proportional to their mass as shown by the above formula. So the sphere with twice the mass will have twice the moment of inertia, or 2 times.</span>

A block whose weight is 45.8 N rests on a horizontal table. A horizontal force of 36.6 N is applied to the block. The coefficien
Liula [17]

Answer:

Yes it will move and a= 4.19m/s^2

Explanation:

In order for the box to move it needs to overcome the maximum static friction force

Max Static Friction = μFn(normal force)

plug in givens

Max Static friction = 31.9226

Since 36.6>31.9226, the box will move

Mass= Wieght/g which is 45.8/9.8= 4.67kg

Fnet = Fapp-Fk

= 36.6-16.9918

=19.6082

=ma

Solve for a=4.19m/s^2

5. A person fishing from a pier observes that four wave crests pass by in 7.0 s and estimates that the distance between two succ
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

v= 1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between two successive crests = 4.0 m

 λ = 4 m

T= 7 sec

T is the time between 3 waves.

3 waves = 7 sec

1 wave = 7 /3 sec

So t= 7/3 s

We know that frequency f

f= 1/t= 3/7 Hz

Lets take speed of the wave is v

v= f λ

f=frequency

λ=wavelength

v= 3/7 x 4 = 12 /7

v= 1.71 m/s

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
aksik [14]
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones

A 36,287 kg truck has a momentum of 907,175 kg • . What is the truck’s velocity?
Snowcat [4.5K]
By definition,
Momentum = Mass * Velocity

Let v =  the velocity of the truck, m/s
The mass of the truck is 36,287 kg.
The momentum is 907,175 (kg-m)/s.

Therefore
907,175 (kg-m)/s = (36287 kg)*(v m/s)
v = 907175/36287 = 25 m/s

Answer: 25 m/s
