A hammer taps on the end of a 5.0-mm-long metal bar at room temperature. A microphone at the other end of the bar picks up two p

ulses of sound, one that travels through the metal and one that travels through the air. The pulses are separated in time by 8.40 msms .What is the speed of sound in this metal?

Answer:

810.37 m/s

Explanation:

s = Displacement = 5 m

v_a = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Time taken to travel the distance

t'=\dfrac{s}{v_a}\\\Rightarrow t'=\dfrac{5}{343}\\\Rightarrow t'=0.01457\ s

Time for the sound in metal

t=0.01457-8.4\times 10^{-3}=0.00617\ s

Speed of sound is given by

v=\dfrac{s}{t}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{5}{0.00617}\\\Rightarrow v=810.37277\ m/s

The speed of sound in the metal is 810.37 m/s

A vector points -43.0 units
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the direction of this vector we need o find the angle that has a tangent of the y-component over the x-component:

tan^{-1}(\frac{11.1}{-43.0})=-14.5 but since we are in Q2 we have to add 180 degrees to that angle giving us 165.5 degrees

While entering a freeway, a car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.40 m/s2 for 12.0 s. (a) Draw a sketch of the situation. (b)
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) See attached picture, b) We know the initial velocity = 0, initial position=0, time=12.0s, acceleration=2.40m/s^{2}, c) the car travels 172.8m in those 12 seconds, d) The car's final velocity is 28.8m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to draw a sketch of the situation, I must include the data I know, the data I would like to know and a drawing of the car including the direction of the movement and its acceleration, just like in the attached picture.

b) From the information given by the problem I know:

initial velocity =0

acceleration = 2.40m/s^{2}

time = 12.0 s

initial position = 0

c)

unknown:

displacement.

in order to choose the appropriate equation, I must take the knowns and the unknown and look for a formula I can use to solve for the unknown. I know the initial velocity, initial position, time, acceleration and I want to find out the displacement. The formula that contains all this data is the following:

x=x_{0}+V_{x0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{x}t^{2}

Once I got the equation I need to find the displacement, I can plug the known values in, like this:

x=0+0(12s)+\frac{1}{2}(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}

after cancelling the pertinent units, I get that  my answer will be given in meters. So I get:

x=\frac{1}{2} (2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}} )(12s)^{2}

which solves to:

x=172.8m

So the displacement of the car in 12 seconds is 172.8m, which makes sense taking into account that it will be accelerating for 12 seconds and each second its velocity will increase by 2.4m/s.

d) So, like the previous part of the problem, I know the initial position of the car, the time it travels, the initial velocity and its acceleration. Now I also know what its final position is, so we have more than enough information to find this answer out.

I need to find the final velocity, so I need to use an equation that will use some or all of the known data and the unknown. In order to solve this problem, I can use the following equation:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{0} }{t}

Next, since I need to find the final velocity, I can solve the equation just for that, I can start by multiplying both sides by t so I get:

at=V_{f}-V_{0}

and finally I can add V_{0} to both sides so I get:

V_{f}=at+V_{0}

and now I can proceed and substitute the known values:

V_{f}=at+V_{0}

V_{f}=(2.40\frac{m}{s^{2}}} (12s)+0

which solves to:

V_{f}=28.8m/s

Tony gets stung by an ant. He applies baking soda, a weak base, to the site. What acid is Tony neutralizing with the baking soda
kumpel [21]
That's good !  I never heard of that before.  (Maybe because
I've never been stung by an ant.)

When an ant bites or stings, it injects a tiny amount of 'formic acid'
into your skin.  Soon, the formic acid itches, burns, and stings, and
after a while, a little piece of skin dies and falls off.  Some people
are seriously allergic to it, and it can make them really sick.

'Acids' and 'bases' are opposites, and one can neutralize (cancel out)
the other.  Tony is putting a weak 'base' on the sting, to neutralize the
formic acid that the ant left him as a little gift.
