When a sound wave travels through air, how is this air affected by its passage

1 answer:

6 0

Sound is a mechanical wave <span>that results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound wave is moving. If a sound wave is moving from left to right through air, then particles of air will be displaced both rightward and leftward as the energy of the sound wave passes through it. The motion of the particles is parallel (and anti-parallel) to the direction of the energy transport. This is what characterizes sound waves in air as longitudinal waves.</span><span>

A gyroscope slows from an initial rate of 32.0 rad/s at a rate of 0.700 rad/s2. How long does it take to come to rest? How many

Darya [45]

Answer:

$t=45.7s$

$\alpha =116revolutions$

Explanation:

Since we have given values of ω₀=32.o rad/s ,ω=0 and α=-0.700 rad/s² to find t we use below equation

$w=w_{o}+at\\ 0=(32.0rad/s)+(-0.700rad/s^{2} )t\\t=\frac{-32.0}{-0.700} \\t=45.7s$

To find revolutions we use below equation

$w^{2}=w_{o}^{2}+2a\alpha$

Substitute the given values to find revolutions α

$0=(32.0rad/s)^{2}+2(-0.700rad/s^{2} )\alpha \\\alpha =\frac{(-32.0rad/s)^{2}}{2(-0.700rad/s^{2} )} \\\alpha =731rad$

To convert rad to rev:

$\alpha =(731rad)*(\frac{1rev}{2\pi rad} )\\\alpha =116revolutions$

If the mass of both weights is 225 gm, the first mass is located 20∘ north of east, the second mass is located 20∘ south of east

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The voltage is 2.114 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of both weights = 225 gm

Transducer sensitivity = 0.5 V/N

The first mass is located 20∘ north of east, the second mass is located 20∘ south of east,

We need to calculate the net equivalent force

Using formula of force

$F_{3}=m_{1}g\cos\theta+m_{2}g\cos\theta$

$F_{3}=2mg\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{3}=2\times0.225\times10\cos20^{\circ}$

$F_{3}=4.228\ N$

We need to calculate the voltage

Using formula of voltage

$Voltage =sensitivity\times F_{3}$

Put the value into the formula

$Voltage=0.5\times4.228$

$Voltage =2.114\ V$

Hence, The voltage is 2.114 V.

For an increase in the bulk modulus of a material but without any change in the density, what happens to the speed of sound in t

vazorg [7]

The speed of sound, c, is given by the Newton-Laplace formula
$c = \sqrt{ \frac{K}{\rho} }$
where
K = bulk modulus
ρ = density

Because the density is constant, the speed of sound is proportional to the square root of the bulk modulus.

Therefore when the bulk modulus increases, the speed of sound increases by the square root of the bulk modulus.

For example, if K is doubled, then
$c = \sqrt{2K} = \sqrt{2} \sqrt{K}$

Answer:
If the bulk modulus increases by a factor of n, then c increases by a factor of √n.
