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

1 answer:

6 0

Sound is a mechanical wave 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.

A planet orbits a star, in a year of length 3.37 x 107 s, in a nearly circular orbit of radius 1.04 x 1011 m. With respect to th

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer

Given,

Time period of star,T = 3.37 x 10⁷ s

Radius of circular orbit,R = 1.04 x 10¹¹ m

a) Angular speed of the planet

$\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}=\dfrac{2\pi}{3.37\times 10^{7}}$

$\omega = 1.864\times 10^{-7}\ rad/s$

b) tangential speed

$v = r \omega = 1.04\times 10^{11}\times 1.864 \times 10^{-7}$

v = 1.94 x 10⁴ m/s

c) centripetal acceleration magnitude

$a = \dfrac{v^2}{r}= \dfrac{(1.94\times 10^4)^2}{1.04\times 10^{11}}$

a = 3.62 x 10⁻³ m/s²

Describe the acceleration of your bicycle as you ride it from your home to the store

erik [133]

While you're going to the store, your acceleration changes. Some times it increases your overall speed sometimes it reduces it. Constant acceleration does not occur because it would mean that you would constantly accelerate and eventually go past the store. Even reduction of speed is a type of acceleration in physics. When you reach it, we can then calculate how much your velocity was on average and analyze how changing acceleration would've affected it.

Why do magnets move objects in different ways?

atroni [7]

Answer:

Magnets have two poles, called north and south. The like poles are attracted to unlike poles, but like poles repel each other. For example, the north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another. ... To make objects move with a magnet attach a piece of metal, or another magnet, to it.
