What describes a sound wave as it travels through a medium

Physics

Softa [21]3 years ago
5 0
Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

The wheel on an upside-down bicycle moves through 18.0 rad in 5.39 s. What is the wheel’s angular acceleration if its initial an
Elden [556K]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate angular acceleration is as follows.

   \Delta (\theta) = \frac{1}{2} \alpha \Delta t^{2} + \omega_{1} \Delta t

or,      \alpha = \frac{2(\Delta (\theta) - \omega_{1} \Delta t)}{\Delta t^{2}}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

    \alpha = \frac{2(\Delta (\theta) - \omega_{1} \Delta t)}{\Delta t^{2}}

                = \frac{2(18.0 rad - 2.5 rad/s \times 5.30 s)}{(5.39)^{2}}    

                = 0.326 rad/s^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the wheel’s angular acceleration if its initial angular speed is 2.5 rad/s is 0.326 rad/s^{2}.

The relationship between body mass body weight and body density
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The formula for calculating Density is:

= Mass / Volume

From this formula, we can say that the relationship between Mass and Density is a direct one. In other words, if mass is increasing - all else being equal - then density will increase as well.

If mass however was decreasing, density would have to decrease as well.

For example, assume 3 bricks have masses of 5kg, 10kg and 15kg. Also assume that the bricks all have the same volume of 5 m³.

Density of 5kg brick = 5 / 5 = 1 kg/m³

Density of 10kg brick = 10 / 5 = 2kg / m³

Density of 15kg brick = 15 / 5 = 3 kg /m³

<em>Notice how density increases as mass increases and decreases when mass decreases. </em>

zloy xaker [14]
Free fall condition : acceleration is constant downward and equals to gravitational acc.(g)

because velocity has opposite direction to acceleration, velocity will decrease as it rises.
