How does the state of matter affect the speed of a sound wave traveling through it?

1 answer:

7 0

Sound travels faster through a solid or liquid than it does through a gas because the molecules are more tightly packed and allows the sound wave to travel quicker. sound is vibrations that travel through the air or other matter until it reaches someones ear which allows them to hear the sound. hope this helps

While a roofer is working on a roof that slants at 39.0 degrees above the horizontal, he accidentally nudges his 88.0 N toolbox,

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

V= 6.974 m/s

Explanation:

Component( box) weight acting parallel and down roof 88(sin39.0°)=55.4 N

Force of kinetic friction acting parallel and up roof = 18.0 N

Fnet force acting on tool box acting parallel and down roof

Fnet= 55.4 - 18.0

Fnet=37.4 N

acceleration of tool box down roof

a = 37.4(9.81)/88.0

a= 4.169 m/s²

d = 4.90 m

t = √2d/a

t= √2(4.90)/4.169

t= 1.662 s

V = at

V= 4.169(1.662)

V= 6.974 m/s

If a transmission line in a cold climate collects ice, the increased diameter tends to cause vortex formation in a passing wind.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

a) $f_1=5.587Hz$

b) $f_{n+1}-f_n=5.587Hz$

Explanation:

The frequency of the $n^{th}$ harmonic of a vibrating string of length L, linear density $\mu$ under a tension T is given by the formula:

$f_n=\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}$

a) So for the fundamental mode (n=1) we have, substituting our values:

$f_1=\frac{1}{2(347m)} \sqrt{\frac{65.4\times10^6N}{4.35kg/m}}=5.587Hz$

b) The frequency difference between successive modes is the fundamental frequency, since:

$f_{n+1}-f_n=\frac{n+1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}-\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=(n+1-n)\frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=f_1=5.587Hz$

A student has a rectangular block. It is 2 cm wide, 2 cm tall, and 25 cm long. It has a mass of 600 g. First, calculate the volu

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

6g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is the mass per unit volume of any substance. To solve this problem:

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Since mass = 600g

Let us find the volume;

Volume = length x width x height

Volume = 25cm x 2cm x 2cm = 100cm³

Therefore;

Density = $\frac{600}{100}$ = 6g/cm³

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at a constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcyc

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

(a) 3.807 s

(b) 145.581 m

Explanation:

Let Δt = t2 - t1 be the time it takes from the moment when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with the car. We know that before the acceleration, both vehicles are travelling at a constant speed. So they would maintain a distance of 58 m prior to the acceleration.

The distance traveled by car after Δt (seconds) at $v_c = 23m/s$ speed is
