The speed of sound, c, is given by the Newton-Laplace formula
c = \sqrt{ \frac{K}{\rho} }
where
K = bulk modulus
ρ =  density

Because the density is constant, the speed of sound is proportional to the square root of the bulk modulus.

Therefore when the bulk modulus increases, the speed of sound increases by the square root of the bulk modulus.

For example, if K is doubled, then
c = \sqrt{2K} = \sqrt{2} \sqrt{K}

Answer:
If the bulk modulus increases by a factor of n, then c increases by a factor of √n.

A barbel weighing 215N is raised to a height of 2.0 M above the ground. It is then dropped from that height.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

  • 430 J
  • 6.26 m/s

Explanation:

A. The kinetic energy is the same as the initial potential energy:

  PE = mgh = (215 N)(2.0 M) = 430 J

__

B. The velocity achieved by falling from a height h is given by ...

  v = √(2gh)

  v =  √(2·9.8 m/s^2·2 m) = √(39.2 m^2/s^2)

  v ≈ 6.26 m/s

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V

Now,

Drift velocity, v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}

v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta                            (1)

And

E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d

Thus eqn (1) becomes

V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta

where

d = distance

B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}                      (2)

(a) When \theta = 90^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T

(b) When \theta = 60^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T

A thin coil has 17 rectangular turns of wire. When a current of 4 A runs through the coil, there is a total flux of 5 ✕ 10−3 T ·
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Inductance, L = 0.0212 Henries

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 17

Current through the coil, I = 4 A

The total flux enclosed by the one turn of the coil, \phi=5\times 10^{-3}\ Tm^2

The relation between the self inductance and the magnetic flux is given by :

L=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}

L=\dfrac{17\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{4}

L = 0.0212 Henries

So, the inductance of the coil is 0.0212 Henries. Hence, this is the required solution.
