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

Physics

grandymaker [24]3 years ago

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>

The average standard rectangular building brick has a mass of 3.10 kg and dimensions of 225 m x 112 m x 75 m. The gravitational
zzz [600]

Answer:

P=3.61\times 10^{-3}\ Pa

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a brick, m = 3.1 kg

The dimensions of the brick 225 m x 112 m x 75 m

We need to find the maximum pressure created by the brick. We know that, the force acting per unit area is called pressure exerted. It is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

F = mg

A = area with minimum dimensions i.e. 112 m x 75 m

Pressure is maximum when the area is least.

So,

P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{3.1\times 9.8}{112\times 75}\\\\P=3.61\times 10^{-3}\ Pa

So, the maximum pressure created by brick is 3.61\times 10^{-3}\ Pa.

How is energy measured?​
stepladder [879]

Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.
