What happens when you compress a gas?

2 answers:

The density increases.
When gases are compressed, their volume decreases, and the resulting pressure increases. The temperature will change if either P or V are held constant. Since the volume decreases, then density, or m/V, increases.
P×V ~ T

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"c\" tone, with a frequency of 262 hz. what is the period of the sound wave produced by the sp

jasenka [17]

Answer:

3.82 ms

Explanation:

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

where f is the frequency.

In this problem, f = 262 Hz, so the period if this sound wave is

$T=\frac{1}{262 Hz}=3.82\cdot 10^{-3} s=3.82ms$

A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.8m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels

katovenus [111]

To solve this problem we will apply the laws of Mersenne. Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, useful in musical tuning and musical instrument construction. This law tells us that the velocity in a string is directly proportional to the root of the applied tension, and inversely proportional to the root of the linear density, that is,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

Here,

v = Velocity

$\mu$ = Linear density (Mass per unit length)

T = Tension

Rearranging to find the Period we have that

$T = v^2 \mu$

$T = v^2 (\frac{m}{L})$

As we know that speed is equivalent to displacement in a unit of time, we will have to

$T = (\frac{L}{t}) ^2(\frac{m}{L})$

$T = (\frac{7.8}{0.83})^2 (\frac{0.49}{7.8})$

$T = 5.54N$

Therefore the tension is 5.54N

According to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is

Mkey [24]

According to Newton's second Law of motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is 1m/s².

<h3>How to calculate acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration of a moving body can be calculated by dividing the force of the body by its mass.

According to this question, the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration can be calculated as follows:

acceleration = 10N ÷ 10kg

acceleration = 1m/s²

Therefore, according to Newton's second Law of motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is 1m/s².

Can someone help me with this question

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Net force: 20 N to the right

mass of the bag: 20.489 kg

acceleration: 0.976 m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the normal force and the weight are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, they add up to zero in the vertical direction. In the horizontal direction, the 195 N tension to the right minus the 175 force of friction to the left render a net force towards the right of magnitude:

195 N - 175 N = 20 N

So net force on the bag is 20 N to the right.

The mass of the bag can be found using the value of the weight force: 201 N:

mass = Weight/g = 201 / 9.81 = 20.489 kg

and the acceleration of the bag can be found as the net force divided by the mass we just found:

acceleration = 20 N / 20.489 kg = 0.976 m/s^2
