Why does the energy of a sound wave decrease over time

Physics
1 answer:
Svet_ta [14]3 years ago
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 toy cart at the end of a string 0.70 m long moves in a circle on a table. The cart has a mass of 2.0 kg and the string has a b
luda_lava [24]
Given that the mass of the toy cart is 2.0 kg and and the acceleration is unknown, the normal formula would be a=f/m where a is acceleration, f is force and m is mass but the string's breaking strength is 40n so I think the formula in this case will be f is greater than m*a
40 is greater than 2a
40 is greater than 2a
40/2 is greater than 2a/2
20m/s² is greater than a 
Therefore the maximum speed the toy cart should have should be less than 20m/s²

the positive particle has a charge of 31.7 mC and the particles are 2.80 mm apart, what is the electric field at point A located
vichka [17]

Answer:

the electric field at point A is

E = 5.5 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

Explanation:

given

electrostatics constant k = 9.0×10⁹

charge q = 31.7mC= 31.7×10⁻³C

distance r = 2.80mm

distance from midpoint to point A = 2.00mm

attached is the diagram of the solution, describing the position of the charge

note x = r/2, where x is the distance from midpoint of r to the particle

using Pythagoras theorem as in the attachment, x = 2.44mm= 2.44×10⁻³m

the electric field at point A is given as

vector <em>E </em>= 2E×cos θ( -x direction)

recall E =kq/x²

where k is the electrostatics constant = 1/4πε₀

where ε₀ is permittivity of free space

therefore using E =2{kq/x²}cosθ

∴cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cosθ=1.40/2.44

E =2 {(9.0×10⁹ × 31.7×10⁻³) ÷ (2.44×10⁻³)²}×(1.40/2.44)(-x)

E=2{4.79×10¹³}×(0.574)(-x)

E = 2×2.75 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

Vector <em>E= </em>5.5 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

How high can a body vertically thrown with a speed of 40m/s raise after 3 sec (neglecting air
Tcecarenko [31]

y = 75.9 m

Explanation:

y = -(1/2)gt^2 + v0yt + y0

If we put the origin of our coordinate system at the point where a body is launched, then y0 = 0.

y = -(1/2)(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)^2 + (40 m/s)(3 s)

= -44.1 m + 120 m

= 75.9

Which of the following represents an upright image? <br> A. -do<br> B. +m<br> C. -m<br> D. +do
Tom [10]

Answer:

B. +m

Explanation:

The magnification of an image is defined as the ratio between the size of the image and of the object:

m = \frac{y'}{y}

where we have

y' = size of the image

y = size of the object

There are two possible situations:

- When m is positive, y' has same sign as y: this means that the image image is upright

- When m is negative, y' has opposite sign to y: this means that the image is upside down

Therefore, the correct option representing an upright image is

B. +m
