What is a shock wave and when is it produced

1 answer:

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.

When an object moves in a circle, what is its displacement equal to? How do you know?

A tennis player tosses a tennis ball straight up and then catches it after 1.64 s at the same height as the point of release.

ipn [44]

A. The acceleration of the ball while it is in flight?

magnitude is 0 m/s² (magnitude is zero)

B. The velocity of the ball when it reaches its maximum height is 0 m/s (magnitude is zero)

C. The initial velocity of the ball 8.036 m/s upward

D. The maximum height reached by the ball is 3.29 m

<h3>A. How to determine the acceleration in the flight</h3>

Considering that the ball came to rest after 1.64s, it means the entire acceleration of the flight is zero as the ball was not moving in any form again.

<h3>B. How to determine the velocity at maximum height</h3>

At maximum height, the velocity of the ball is zero as it no longer has magnitude to keep going upwards. Hence the ball begins to ball down.

<h3>C. How to determine the initial velocity</h3>

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Time of flight (T) = 1.64 s
Time to reach maximum height (t) = T / 2 = 1.64 / 2 = 0.82 s
Initial velocity (u) =?

v = u - gt (since the ball is going against gravity)

0 = u - (9.8 × 0.82)

0 = u - 8.036

Collect like terms

u = 0 + 8.036

u = 8.036 m/s upward

<h3>D. How to determine the maximum height reached by the ball</h3>

Time to reach maximum height (t) = T / 2 = 1.64 / 2 = 0.82 s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Maximum height (h)

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 0.82²

h = 3.29 m

A 1.2kg ball rolls forward with an acceleration of 1.11 m/s. What is the net force on the ball

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

1.332 N

Explanation:

Net Force = Mass x Acceleration
1.2 x 1.11 = 1.332 N

I'm so sorry if I'm wrong.

The overall length of a piccolo is 32.0 cm. The resonating air column vibrates as in a pipe that is open at both ends. (a) Find

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

distance between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

Explanation:

given data

length L = 32 cm = 0.32 m

to find out

frequency and distance between adjacent anti nodes

solution

we consider here speed of sound through air at room temperature 20 degree is approximately v = 343 m/s

lowest frequency will be = $\frac{v}{2L}$ ..............1

put here value in equation 1

lowest frequency will be = $\frac{343}{2(0.32)}$

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

and

we have given highest frequency f = 4000Hz

wavelength = $\frac{v}{f}$ ..............2

put here value

wavelength = $\frac{343}{4000}$

wavelength = 0.08575 m

so distance = $\frac{wavelength}{2}$ ..............3

distance = $\frac{0.08575}{2}$

distance = 0.0425 m

so distance between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm
