28. Sound can be heard around a corner because of

Physics
1 answer:
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.

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount
igor_vitrenko [27]
In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.

ou purchase a rectangular piece of metal that has dimen- sions 5.0 * 15.0 * 30.0 mm and mass 0.0158 kg. The seller tells you tha
Natalija [7]

Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated

Explanation:

Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;

Density = Mass/Volume

Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.

Given mass = 0.0158kg

Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm

Note that 1mm = 0.001m

The volume of the metal will be

0.005×0.015×0.03

= 0.00000225m³

Density = 0.0158/0.00000225

Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³

Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.

An air hockey game has a puck of mass 30 grams and a diameter of 100 mm. The air film under the puck is 0.1 mm thick. Calculate
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

time required after impact for a puck is 2.18 seconds

Explanation:

given data

mass = 30 g = 0.03 kg

diameter = 100 mm = 0.1 m

thick = 0.1 mm = 1 ×10^{-4} m

dynamic viscosity = 1.75 ×10^{-5} Ns/m²

air temperature = 15°C

to find out

time required after impact for a puck to lose 10%

solution

we know velocity varies here 0 to v

we consider here initial velocity = v

so final velocity = 0.9v

so change in velocity is du = v

and clearance dy = h

and shear stress acting on surface is here express as

= µ \frac{du}{dy}

so

= µ  \frac{v}{h}   ............1

put here value

= 1.75×10^{-5} × \frac{v}{10^{-4}}

= 0.175 v

and

area between air and puck is given by

Area = \frac{\pi }{4} d^{2}

area  =  \frac{\pi }{4} 0.1^{2}

area = 7.85 × \frac{v}{10^{-3}} m²

so

force on puck is express as

Force = × area

force = 0.175 v × 7.85 × 10^{-3}

force = 1.374 × 10^{-3} v    

and now apply newton second law

force = mass × acceleration

- force = mass \frac{dv}{dt}

- 1.374 × 10^{-3} v = 0.03 \frac{0.9v - v }{t}

t =  \frac{0.1 v * 0.03}{1.37*10^{-3} v}

time = 2.18

so time required after impact for a puck is 2.18 seconds
