What happens to a sound wave as air temperature decreases?

Physics
1 answer:
weqwewe [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

goes down as the temperature decreases, and vice versa. Sound's frequency is independent of temperature, while its speed is directly proportional to temperature. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. ... This is faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing temperatures.

hope this helps!!!!

A diffraction grating has 2000 lines per centimeter. at what angle will the first-order maximum be for 520-nm-wavelength green l
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Applying diffraction equations;
d = 0.01/Number of lines; where 0.01 m = 1 cm, and d = spacing between lines

Therefore,
d = 0.01/2000 = 5*10^-6 m

Additionally,
d*Sin x = m*y; where x = Angle, m = order = 1, y = wavelength = 520 nm =520*10^-9 m

Substituting;
Sin x = my/d = (1*520*10^-9)/(5*10^-6) = 0.1040
x = Sin ^-1(0.104) = 5.97°

Therefore, first-order maximum for 520 nm will be 5.97°.

Transverse waves are sent along a 4.50 m long string with a speed of 85.00 m/s. The string is under a tension of 20.00 N. What i
frutty [35]

Answer:

m = 0.0125 kg

Explanation:

Let us apply the formula for the speed of a wave on a string that is under tension:

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu} }

where F = tension force

μ = mass per unit length

Mass per unit length is given as:

μ  = m / l

where m = mass of the string

l = length of the string

This implies that:

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{m/l} }\\ \\v = \sqrt{\frac{F * l}{m} }

Let us make mass, m, the subject of the formula:

v^2 = \frac{F * l}{m}\\\\m = \frac{F * l}{v^2}

From the question:

F = 20 N

l = 4.50 m

v = 85 m/s

Therefore:

m = \frac{20 * 4.5}{85^2}\\\\m = \frac{90}{7225}\\ \\m = 0.0125 kg

Leto [7]

Answer: 2.67 m/s^2

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is defined as v^2/r; in this case, it's 2^2/1.5, which is 2.67.

Imagine an infinite earth with a hole dripped through it. You fall in and accelerate at g~10m/s/s. How long until you reach the
Soloha48 [4]

An object with non-zero mass (even negligible mass is non-zero) will never reach the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, each "unit" of acceleration becomes less effective at increasing your velocity (relative to some other object, of course) as your relative velocity approaches the speed of light.

And even if there was a way, If you would accelerate to the 99,99% of the speed light in just 1 second, you would experience a G-force of aprox. 30,600,000 g's which is enough to kill you in a few seconds
