An ultrasonic ruler, such as the one discussed in Example 4 in Section 16.6, displays the distance between the ruler and an obje

ct, such as a wall. The ruler sends out a pulse of ultrasonic sound and measures the time it takes for the pulse to reflect from the object and return. The ruler uses this time, along with a preset value for the speed of sound in air, to determine the distance. Suppose that you use this ruler under water, rather than in air. The actual distance from the ultrasonic ruler to an object is 24.0 m. The adiabatic bulk modulus and density of seawater are Bad = 2.37 × 109 Pa and rho = 1025 kg/m3, respectively. Assume that the ruler uses a preset value of 343 m/s for the speed of sound in air. Determine the distance reading that the ruler displays.

Answer:

reading would be 5.413 m.

Explanation:

Given:-

- The actual distance from ruler to an object is d = 24.0 m

- The adiabatic bulk modulus, B = 2.37 *10^9 Pa

- The density of seawater, ρ = 1025 kg/m^3

- The preset value of speed of sound in air, v_th = 343 m/s.

Find:-

Determine the distance reading that the ruler displays.

Solution:-

- We will first determine the actual speed of the sound ( v_a) in sea-water which can be determined from the following formula:

                            v_a = √ (B /  ρ )

- Plug in the values in the relationship above and compute v_a:

                            v_a = √ ( 2.37 *10^9 /  1025  )        

                            v_a = 1520.59038 m/s

- The time taken (t) for for the sound to travel from source(ruler) to an object which is d distance away.

                            d = v_a*t

                            t = d / v_a

                            t = 24.0 / 1520.59038

                            t = 0.01578 s

- The distance reading on the ruler would be preset speed (v_th) of sound in air multiplied by the time taken(t).

                           reading = v_th*t

                           reading = (343)*(0.01578)

                                         = 5.413 m

What distance does electromagnetic radiation travel in 55.0 μs ?
Komok [63]
Electromagnetic radiation is an energy that is known as light. so electromagnetic radiation will have the same speed as the speed of light which is 3 x 10^8 m/s. so the distance it travel at 55 x 10^-6 s is:
D = ( 3 x 10^8 m/s ) (  55 x 10^-6 s )
D = 16500 m

Two objects are dropped from different heights at the same instant. If the first object takes 10.7 seconds to hit the ground and
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The answer to your question is : 521.8 m

Explanation:

Data:

Different heights

Time first object (tfo) = 10.7 s

Time second object (tso)= 14.8 s

Initial speed of both objects(vo) = 0 m/s

a = 9.81 m/s²

Formula:

h = vot + 1/2 (a)(t)² but vo = 0    so, h = 1/2 (a)(t)²

Then, height fo      h = 1/2 (9.81)(10.7)² = 561.6 m

          height so     h = 1/2(9,81)(14.8)² = 1074.4 m

Difference in their heights =  1074.4 m - 561.6 m = 521.8 m

Part 1 :
dybincka [34]

Answer:

1. 218.55 N

2. 30.96^{o}

3. 2.1 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Part 1;

Net force F=mg sin \theta where m is mass, g is gravitational force and \theta is the angle of inclination

F= 46*9.8*sin 29^{o}= 218.55N

Frictional force, F_{r} is given by

F_{r} = \mu_{s}mg cos \theta where \mu_{s} is the coefficient of static friction

F_{r} = 0.6*46*9.8 cos 29

F_{r}=236.57N

Since F_{r}>F, therefore, the block doesn’t slip and the frictional force acting is mgh=218.55N

Part 2.

Using the relationship that

Frictional force F_{s} = \mu_{s} mg cos \theta

mg sin \theta =\mu_{s} mg cos \theta

\mu_{s}= \frac {sin \theta}{cos \theta}

\mu_{s}= tan \theta

The maximum angle of inclination \theta = tan^{-1} \mu_{s}

\theta = tan^{-1} (0.6)

\theta= 30.96^{o}  

        

Part 3:

Net force on the object is given by

ma = mg sin 38 - \mu_{k} mg cos 38 where \mu_{k} is the coefficient of kinetic friction

 a = g ( sin 38 - \mu_{k} cos 38 )

                 = 9.8 ( sin 38 - (0.51) cos 38 )

                = 2.1m/s^{2}
