Why does the energy of a sound wave decrease over time

1 answer:

6 0

Sound is a longitudinal wave that carries energy. Sound needs a medium to propagate through (this means that sound cannot propagate in vacuum).

The medium usually determines the speed of the wave travelling through it.

As the sound waves travel in a medium, this medium begins to decrease, therefore, the energy of the sound also decreases.

A. How far does a 100-newton force have to move to do 1,000 joules

Aloiza [94]

Work done by a force is given as the product of force and the distance moved by the force.

Work done is the product of force and the distance moved by the the force.

Work done = Force × distance

Thus, distance required by the 100 N force is given as:

Distance = work done/force

Distance = 1000/100 = 10 m

Distance to be moved is 10 m.

Force applied = work done/ distance

Force applied by the hoist = 500/2

Force applied by the hoist = 250 N

Distance moved in one push-up = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Work done by the athlete after one push-up = 250 × 0.25 m

Work done by the athlete = 62.5 J

Distance moved by the force = 0 m

Work done = 500 × 0 = 0 N

Therefore, for work to be done, force has to move a distance.

A piano tuner is using a 392 Hz tuning fork to tune the wire for a G-Natural note. She hears 4 beats per second. What are the tw

inysia [295]

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

$f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |$

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

$f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz$

$f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz$

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz

Why are there only two elements in the first period of the periodic table?(1 point)

tester [92]

Answer:

because each row increases in atomic mass by a specific number, so anything over five is in the second row.

Mass m, moving at speed 2v, approaches mass 4m, moving at speed v. The two collide elastically head-on. Part A Find the subseque

meriva

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. A mass of m moves with 2V towards in the opposite direction of a mass, 4m moving at a speed of V, the speed of m was 2/5V and the mass of 4m was 7.5V. I hope it helps.
