How fast do sound waves travel in air? How does this compare to the speed of light waves?

Physics

Soundwaves are longitudinal waves whereas light (electromagnetic waves) are transverse waves.
Soundwaves oscillate parallel to the direction of propagation.
Light waves oscillate at right angles to the direction of propagation.

A man pulled a 13.0 kg object 11.8 cm vertically with his teeth. (a) How much work (in J) was done on the object by the man in t
jonny [76]

Answer:

(a)The work done by the man is -15.03J.

(b)The force exerted on the object is 127.4N.

Explanation:

Mass of the object pulled by the man is -13kg

Object is lifted 11.8 cm vertical with his teeth it means (displacement = +11.8cm = +0.118m)

Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

(a) <u>Calculating the work done</u>:

Work done = mgh

Where "m" is mass of an object, "g" is acceleration due to gravity and "h" is the displacement.

\text { Work }=-13 \times 9.8 \times(+0.118 \mathrm{m})

\text { Work }=-15.03 \mathrm{J}

The work done by the man is -15.03J.

(b) <u>Calculating the force</u>:

Probably the man and the object are close to the exterior of the earth. If the rigidity required to maintained the object of consistent velocity interior the gravitational field of the earth is \mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

Thus the weight of the object is balanced by the force of the man's teeth on the object. That is

F = mg

\mathrm{F}=13 \times 9.8

F = 127.4N

The force exerted on the object is 127.4N.

A road with a radius of 75.0 m is banked so that a car can navigate the curve at a speed of 15.5 m/s without any friction. When
kirza4 [7]

Answer: 0.683

Explanation: The relationship between a car moving along a curve and the frictional force is given below as

us×g = v²/r

Where us = coefficient of static friction =?, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², v = 22.4 m/s and r = 75m

By substituting the parameters, we have that

us×9.8 = 22.4²/ 75

us ×9.8 = 501.76/75

us ×9.8 = 6.690

us = 6.690/9.8 = 0.683

Introduces una masa de 80g en una probeta con 60cm cúbicos de agua y el nivel sube hasta 75cm cúbicos. qué densidad tiene la mas
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

d=5.33\ gr/cm^3

Explanation:

<u>Densidad</u>

La densidad de una masa m que ocupa un volumen v se define como:

\displaystyle d=\frac{m}{V}

Tenemos que una masa de 80 gr hace que un volumen de agua se desplace desde 60 cm3 hasta 75 cm3, es decir, el volumen propio de la masa es m = 75 - 60 = 15 cm3.

Con esta información se calcula la densidad:

\displaystyle d=\frac{80\ gr}{15\ cm^3}

Operando:

\boxed{d=5.33\ gr/cm^3}

A trumpet player is tuning his instrument by playing an A note simultaneously with the first-chair trumpeter, who has perfect pi
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The two possible frequencies of the other player's note are  437.3 Hz and 442.7 Hz

Explanation:

Given Data

f₁=440 Hz

fₐ=2.7 beats per seconds

The beat frequency is equal to the difference in the frequencies of the two original waves:

So

f =|(f₁±fₐ)|

First to Solve for (-) Sign we get

f=|(440-2.7)|

f=437.3 Hz

Now for Solve for (+) Sign we get

f=|(440+2.7)|

f=442.7 Hz

The two possible frequencies of the other player's note are  437.3 Hz and 442.7 Hz
