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 skateboarder rolls off a 2.5 m high bridge into the river. If the skateboarder was originally moving at 7.0 m/s, how much time

saul85 [17]

Answer:

t = 0.714 s and x = 5.0 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile throwing exercise, in this case when the skater leaves the bridge he goes with horizontal speed

vₓ = 7.0 m / s

Let's find the time it takes to get to the river

y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

the initial vertical speed is zero and when it reaches the river its height is zero

0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

t = $\sqrt{\frac{2y_o}{g} }$

t = ra 2 2.5 / 9.8

t = 0.714 s

the distance traveled is

x = vₓ t

x = 7.0 0.714

x = 5.0 m

A skier moving at 4.75 m/s encounters a long, rough, horizontal patch of snow having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.220

disa [49]

First we need to find the acceleration of the skier on the rough patch of snow.
We are only concerned with the horizontal direction, since the skier is moving in this direction, so we can neglect forces that do not act in this direction. So we have only one horizontal force acting on the skier: the frictional force, $\mu m g$ . For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the skier must be equal to ma (mass per acceleration), so we can write:
$ma=-\mu m g$
Where the negative sign is due to the fact the friction is directed against the motion of the skier.
Simplifying and solving, we find the value of the acceleration:
$a=-(0.220)(9.81 m/s^2)=-2.16 m/s^2$

Now we can use the following relationship to find the distance covered by the skier before stopping, S:
$2aS=v_f^2-v_i^2$
where $v_f=0$ is the final speed of the skier and $v_i=4.75 m/s$ is the initial speed. Substituting numbers, we find:
$S=- \frac{v_i^2}{2a}=- \frac{(4.75 m/s)^2}{2(-2.16 m/s^2)}=5.23 m$
