aving established that a sound wave corresponds to pressure fluctuations in the medium, what can you conclude about the directio

n in which such pressure fluctuations travel? Having established that a sound wave corresponds to pressure fluctuations in the medium, what can you conclude about the direction in which such pressure fluctuations travel? The direction of motion of pressure fluctuations is independent of the direction of motion of the sound wave. Pressure fluctuations travel perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the sound wave. Pressure fluctuations travel along the direction of propagation of the sound wave.

Answer: Pressure fluctuations travel along the direction of propagation of the sound wave.

Explanation:

Sound wave is a type of longitudinal wave. It is defined as a wave which consist of vibrations of particles traveling through a medium( such as air, or water).

Sound wave is propagated by the alternating adiabatic compression and expansion of the medium. The COMPRESSIONS are regions of high air pressure while the RAREFACTIONS are regions of low air pressure. Therefore, Since a sound wave consists of a repeating pattern of high-pressure and low-pressure regions moving through a medium, it is sometimes referred to as a PRESSURE WAVE.

The direction of the vibrating particles is parallel to the direction of propagation and that's why it's a type of LONGITUDINAL WAVE. Therefore, the correct option that

concludes about the direction in which such pressure fluctuations travel is

(Pressure fluctuations travel along the direction of propagation of the sound wave.)

Why are some areas in Europe seeing a partial solar eclipse while others are observing a total solar eclipse?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Objects between the source and observer produce possible shadows known as the umbra and the penumbra.

The umbra is a totally shadowed area, no light travels directly from the source to the observer.

The penumbra is a partially shadowed are where some of the source light travels directly to the observer an some of the source light is blocked from the observer (the object blocking the light is not a point object).

The question apparently refers to the differences seen by the observers.

Two cars start a race with initial velocity 7ms-1 and 4ms-1 respectively.Their acceleration are 0.4ms-2 and 0.5ms-2 respectively
Ronch [10]

The distance of the track is 600 m

Explanation:

The two cars move by uniformly accelerated motion, so we the distance they cover after a time t is described by the following suvat equation

d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

For car 1, we have

d_1 = u_1 t + \frac{1}{2}a_1 t^2

where

u_1 = 7 m/s is the initial velocity of car 1

a_1 = 0.4 m/s^2 is the acceleration of car 1

So the equation can be rewritten as

d_1 = 7t + 0.2t^2

For car 2, we have

d_2 = u_2 t + \frac{1}{2}a_2 t^2

where

u_2 = 4 m/s is the initial velocity of car 2

a_2 = 0.5 m/s^2 is the acceleration of car 2

So the equation can be rewritten as

d_2= 5t + 0.25t^2

The two cars finish the race at the same time: this means that they cover the same distance in the same time t, so we can write

d_1 = d_2\\7t + 0.2t^2=5t + 0.25t^2

And solving for t, we find

2t - 0.05t^2= 0\\t(2-0.05t)=0

Which gives two solutions:

t = 0 (initial instant)

t = 40 s

Therefore, the distance of the track is

d_1 = 7t +0.2t^2 = 7\cdot 40+0.2\cdot 40^2=600 m

A single-story retail store wishes to supply all its lighting requirement with batteries charged by photovoltaic cells. The PV c
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

83.33% of the roof area will be occupied by the PV cells

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

time-averaged lighting requirement P_{lighting = 10 W/m²

the annual average solar irradiance q_{solar = 150 W/m²

the PV efficiency η_{pv = 10% = 0.1

battery charging/discharging efficiency η_{battery = 80% = 0.8

we know that; Annual average power to the light = P_{lighting × A_{roof

Now, the electrical power delivered by the solar cell battery system will be;

⇒  q_{solar × A_{pv × η_{pv × η_{battery

P_{lightingA_{roof = q_{solar × A_{pv × η_{pv × η_{battery

Such that;

A_{pv = P_{lightingA_{roof / q_{solar × A_{pv × η_{pv × η_{battery

A_{pv / A_{roof = P_{lighting /  q_{solar × η_{pv × η_{battery

so we substitute

A_{pv / A_{roof = 10 W/m² / [ 150 W/m² × 0.1 × 0.8 ]

A_{pv / A_{roof = 10 W/m² / 12 W/m²

A_{pv / A_{roof = 0.8333

A_{pv / A_{roof = (0.8333 × 100)%

A_{pv / A_{roof = 83.33%

Therefore, 83.33% of the roof area will be occupied by the PV cells.
