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 small block with a mass of 0.0600 kg is attached to a cord passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (Figur

pogonyaev

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that mass of block=0.0600 kg

Initial speed of block=0.63 m/s

Distance of block from the hole when the block is revolved=0.47 m

Final speed=3.29 m/s

Distance of block from the hole when the block is revolved= $9\times 10^{-2}m$

a.We have to find the tension in the cord in the original situation when the block has speed = $v_0=0.63 m/s$

$T=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Because tension is equal to centripetal force

Substitute the values

$T=\frac{0.06\times (0.63)^2}{0.47}=0.05 N$

b. $v=3.29 m/s$

$T=\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{0.06\times (3.29)^2}{0.09}=7.2 N$

c.Work don=Final K.E-Initial K.E

$W=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-v^2_0)$

$W=\frac{1}{2}(0.06)((3.29)^2-(0.63)^2)$

$W=0.31 J$

How are the spiral arms of the milky way detected?

Step2247 [10]

The spiral structure emerges when galactic clusters (open), H II regions and O & B type stars (young stars) are used as tracers. We know this to be true as other pinwheel galaxies exhibit the same patterns across these tracers as in the milky way.

In a charging process, 4 × 1013 electrons are removed from one small metal sphere and placed on a second identical sphere. Initi

Alina [70]

Answer:

The distance between the two spheres is 914.41 X 10³ m

Explanation:

Given;

4 X 10¹³ electrons, and its equivalent in coulomb's is calculated as follows;

1 e = 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

4 X 10¹³ e = 4 X 10¹³ X 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C = 6.408 X 10⁻⁶ C

V = Ed

where;

V is the electrical potential energy between two spheres, J

E is the electric field potential between the two spheres N/C

d is the distance between two charged bodies, m

$V = \frac{K*q}{d^2}*d = \frac{K*q}{d}$

$d = \frac{K*q}{V}$

where;

K is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

d = (8.99 X 10⁹ X 6.408 X 10⁻⁶)/0.063

d = 914.41 X 10³ m

Therefore, the distance between the two spheres is 914.41 X 10³ m

What component of Star Wars is possible

kolezko [41]

Comparing to current technology, here are some component of star wars that is possible :

- The drones
Remember the flying drones that could shoot stuff in star wars ? we already made that

- Prosthetic limb
Luke's bionic hand in star wars ? we also already made that

- The probe droids
We used a similar thing when our scientist done an expedition to the moon
