Lesechka [4]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Diffraction of sound wavelengths.

Explanation:

Diffraction-A wave is able to bend around a corner due to the effects of diffraction. sound aves are capable of bending around corners in the same magnitude as it's wavelength making it possible to hear sounds around corners.

A 2.3 kg particle-like object moves in a plane with velocity components vx = 40 m/s and vy = 75 m/s as it passes through the poi
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

(a) \overrightarrow{L}=885.5\widehat{k}

(b) \overrightarrow{L}=1046.5\widehat{k}

Explanation:

mass, m = 2.3 kg

vx = 40 m/s

vy = 75 m/s

(a) Angular momentum is given by

\overrightarrow{L}=\overrightarrow{r}\times \overrightarrow{p}

Where, p is the linear momentum and r is the position vector about which the angular momentum is calculated.

Here, \overrightarrow{r}=3\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{p}=m\overrightarrow{v}

\overrightarrow{p}=2.3\left ( 40\widehat{i}+75\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{p}= 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j}

So, the angular momentum

\overrightarrow{L}=\left ( 3\widehat{i}-4\widehat{j} \right )\times\left ( 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{L}=885.5\widehat{k}

(b) Here, \overrightarrow{r}=(3+2)\widehat{i}+(-4+2)\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{r}=5\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{L}=\left ( 5\widehat{i}-2\widehat{j} \right )\times\left ( 92\widehat{i}+172.5\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{L}=1046.5\widehat{k}

Romeo (81.0 kg) entertains Juliet (53.0 kg) by playing his guitar from the rear of their boat at rest in still water, 2.70 m awa
den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.64 m

Explanation:

The first thing is calculate the center of mass of the system.

X_{cm}= \sum_{n=1}^{n}\frac{X_n\times M_n}{M_n}

now multiplying every coordinate x by the mass of each object (romeo, juliet and the boat) and dividing all by the total mass  taking by reference the position of juliet.

X_{cm}=\frac{53\times0 +81\times2.7+79\times1.35}{53+81+79}

X_cm = 1.4589 m

When the forces involved are internals, the center of mass don't change  

After the movement the center of mass remains in the same distance from the shore, but change relative to the rear of the boat.

X_{cm}=\frac{79\times1.35+(81+53)\times2.7}{53+81+79}

X_cm= 2.10 m

this displacement is how the boat move toward the shore.

2.10-1.46= 0.64 m

Sound waves are : a) Transverse and longitudinal b) Transverse c) Longitudinal
Olegator [25]

Answer:

a) Transverse and longitudinal

Explanation:

Depending on the medium in which the sound is traveling the wave can be longitudinal or transverse.

When traveling in fluids i.e., in liquids and gases the wave takes the form of a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves cause compression and rarefaction  of the fluid.

When traveling in solids the wave takes the form of a transverse wave. Transverse waves leads to the formation of shear stresses in the solid.

At 20∘C20 ∘ C, the hole in an aluminum ring is 2.500 cm in diameter. You need to slip this ring over a steel shaft that has a ro
Feliz [49]

Answer:

238.75⁰C .

Explanation:

coefficient of linear thermal expansion of aluminum and steel is  23 x 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ and 12 x 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ respectively .

Rise in temperature be Δ t .

Formula for linear expansion due to heat is as follows

l = l₀ ( 1 + α x Δt )

l is expanded length , l₀ is initial length , α is coefficient of linear expansion and  Δt is increase in temperature .

For aluminum

l = 2.5 ( 1 +  23 x 10⁻⁶ Δt )

For steel

l = 2.506 ( 1 + 12 x 10⁻⁶ Δt )

Given ,

2.5 ( 1 +  23 x 10⁻⁶ Δt ) = 2.506 ( 1 + 12 x 10⁻⁶ Δt )

1 +  23 x 10⁻⁶ Δt = 1.0024 ( 1 + 12 x 10⁻⁶ Δt )

1 +  23 x 10⁻⁶ Δt = 1.0024   + 12.0288 x 10⁻⁶ Δt

10.9712 x 10⁻⁶ Δt = .0024

Δt = 218.75

Initial temperature = 20⁰C

final temperature = 218.75 + 20 = 238.75⁰C .
