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

The peak magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum is 9.67 x 10⁻¹⁰ T.

<h3>Relationship between electric and magnetic field</h3>

The relationship between electric and magnetic field at a given peak electric field is given as;

c = (E₀) / (B₀)

where;

  • c is speed of light
  • E₀ is the peak electric field
  • B₀ is the peak magnetic field

B₀ = E₀ / c

B₀ = (2.9) / (3 x 10⁹)

B₀ = 9.67 x 10⁻¹⁰ T

Thus, the peak magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum is 9.67 x 10⁻¹⁰ T.

sesenic [268]

Explanation:

Reactants ⇒ product + heat (exothermic reaction) ....(1)

We have given that the reaction is exothermic, so the heat is rejected from the reaction. We know that heat is the form of energy.

From equation (1)

from the given equation we can see that reactants have more energy than products.

So the reactants have higher potential energy in comparison to the products.
