What is a shock wave and when is it produced

Physics
1 answer:
Talja [164]3 years ago
5 0
Shock waves can occur when an aircraft travels at the speed of sound or when a moving source of sound moves at the same speed as sound itself. Compressional wave fronts of the sound waves are "bunched" at the front cause some sort of stretch that when enough speed is accumulated, in this case, the aircraft will break the sound barrier and travel faster than the speed of sound. This is known as a Sonic Boom, and the aircraft involved is known as a supersonic aircraft. I hope you understand this now.

PLZ HELP ON #22-26!!!! <br><br>Please explain why and how you got your answer.
AleksAgata [21]
22. a - (vf^2 - vi^2)/(2d) 
a = (0 - 23^2)/(170) 
a = -3.1 m/s^2

23. Find the time (t) to reach 33 m/s at 3 m/s^2
33-0/t = 3 
33 = 3t 
t = 11 sec to reach 33 m/s^2
Find the av velocuty: 33+0/2 = 16.5 m/s
Dist = 16.5 * 11 = 181.5 meters to each 33m/s speed. Runway has to be at least this long. 

24. The sprinter starts from rest. The average acceleration is found from: 
(Vf)^2 = (Vi)^2 = 2as ---> a = (Vf)^2 - (Vi)^2/2s = (11.5m/s)^2-0/2(15.0m) = 4.408m/s^2 estimated: 4.41m/s^2
The elapsed time is found by solving
Vf = Vi + at ----> t = vf-vi/a = 11.5m/s-0/4.408m/s^2 = 2.61s

25. Acceleration of car = v-u/t = 0ms^-1-21.0ms^-1/6.00s = -3.50ms^-2
S = v^2 - u^2/2a = (0ms^-1)^2-(21.0ms^-1)^2/2*-3.50ms^-2 = 63.0m 

26. Assuming a constant deceleration of 7.00 m/s^2
final velocity, v = 0m/s 
acceleration, a = -7.00m/s^2
displacement, s - 92m 
Using v^2 = u^2 - 2as 
0^2 - u^2 + 2 (-7.00) (92) 
initial velocity, u = sqrt (1288) = 35.9 m/s 
This is the speed pf the car just bore braking. 

I hope this helps!!

Can you help me understand force=mass x accleration
gavmur [86]
Force = mass * acceleration

Here is an equation for force, used to calculate force. 

Look at it this way:-

Joules is used to measure force, while mass is measured by kg. Acceleration is measured by m/s/s (meters per second per second, or meters per second squared.)

joules = m/s/s * kg 

Which makes everything fit in just right! :D
