How far does light travel in the time it takes sound to travel 1 cm in air at 20°c?

The speed of sound at 20^{\circ}C is approximately v=343 m/s. The distance covered by the sound wave is
s=1 cm=0.01 m
And the time it takes is
t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{0.01 m}{343 m/s}=2.9 \cdot 10^{-5} s

Now we want to find how far the light travels during this time. Light travels at speed c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, therefore the distance it covers during this time is
S=ct = (3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(2.9 \cdot 10^{-5} s)=8700 m

You walk 20 meters north, then 5 meters south. what is your displacement?
Svetllana [295]
The answer is C. 15 meters North

Displacement is the distance and direction from the origin. If you move 20 meters North, your displacement is 20 meters North. If you move 5 meters South, you are basically moving back the way you came by 5 meters, which means you are now 15 meters North.

I hope this helped! :)

A 4.0-kg object is supported by an aluminum wire of length 2.0 m and diameter 2.0 mm. How much will the wire stretch?
forsale [732]

Answer:

The extension of the wire is 0.362 mm.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 4.0 kg

length of the aluminum wire, L = 2.0 m

diameter of the wire, d = 2.0 mm

radius of the wire, r = d/2 = 1.0 mm = 0.001 m

The area of the wire is given by;

A = πr²

A = π(0.001)² = 3.142 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The downward force of the object on the wire is given by;

F = mg

F = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 N

The Young's modulus of aluminum is given by;

Y = \frac{stress}{strain}\\\\Y = \frac{F/A}{e/L}\\\\Y = \frac{FL}{Ae} \\\\e = \frac{FL}{AY}

Where;

Young's modulus of elasticity of aluminum = 69 x 10⁹ N/m²

e = \frac{FL}{AY} \\\\e = \frac{(39.2)(2)}{(3.142*10^{-6})(69*10^9)} \\\\e = 0.000362 \ m\\\\e = 0.362 \ mm

Therefore, the extension of the wire is 0.362 mm.
