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.

On a journey of 600 km, a train was delayed 1 hour and 30 min after having covered 1 4 of the way. To arrive on time at the dest

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The train travelled 10hours.

Explanation:

Using speed= distance/time ...eq1

Let the time taken by train to cover the journey be t.

Let the speed of train be s

Time= distance/speed ...eq2

Time t =600/s ...eq3

The train is delayed for 1 1/2 hours=3/2 hours

Train increased by 15km/hr.

Train travelled 1/4 of 600k.= 150km.

Speed increased by s + 15 to cover the remaining 450km

t = 150/s + 400/(s + 15) + 3/2 ..eq4

Equating eq3 and 4

600/s= 150/s + 460/(s + 15) + 3/2

450/s = 3/2 + 450/(s + 15)

3s^2 + 45s -13500=0

Solving the quadratic equation

S= -45 +-sqrt(45^2-4(3×13500)/2×3

S= 60 , -75

Hence speed of train is 60km/hr

Using eq 2 distance/speed=time

600/60=10

t= 10hours

Two loudspeakers emit identical sound waves along the x-axis. The sound at a point on the axis has maximum intensity when the sp

EleoNora [17]

The concept required to solve this problem is related to the wavelength.

The wavelength can be defined as the distance between two positive crests of a wave.

The waves are in phase, then the first distance is

$\Delta x_1 = 20cm$

And out of the phase when

$\Delta x_2 = 30cm$

Thus the wavelength is

$\Delta x_2-\Delta x_1 = \frac{\lambda}{2}$

Here,

$\lambda =$ Wavelength

If we rearrange the equation to find it, we will have

$\lambda = 2 (\Delta x_2-\Delta x_1 )$

$\lambda= 2(30-20)$

$\lambda = 20cm$

Therefore the wavelength of the sound is 20cm.

A proton initially at rest is accelerated by a uniform electric field. The proton moves 5.62 cm in 1.15 x 10^-6 s. Find the volt

krok68 [10]

Answer:

49.85 V

Explanation:

u = 0, s = 5.62 cm, t = 1.15 x 10^-6 s

Let the electric field is E and voltage is V.

Use second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 a t^2

5.62 x 10^-2 = 0 + 0.5 a x (1.15 x 10^-6)^2

a = 8.5 x 10^10 m/s^2

m x a = q x E

E = m x a / q

E = (1.67 x 10^-27 x 8.5 x 10^10) / (1.6 x 10^-19)

E = 887.19 V/m

V = E x s

V = 887.19 x 5.62 x 10^-2 = 49.85 V

How does an increase in cold working effect Modulus of Elasticity and why?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

There is a decrease in modulus of elasticity

Explanation:

Young's Modulus of elasticity also known as elastic modulus is the deformation of a body along a particular axis under the action of opposing forces along that axis. at atomic levels, it depends on bond energy or strength.

In cold working processes, plastic deformation a metal occurs below its re-crystallization temperature due to which crystal structure of metal gets distorted and as a result of dislocations fractures also occur resulting in hardening of metal but bonds at atomic levels defining elasticity are temporarily affected.

Thus an increase in cold working results in a decrease in modulus of elasticity.
