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 is the ball's acceleration?
muminat

Answer:

g, downward

Explanation:

It is given that, a baseball is thrown straight upward. The force acting on the stone is force of gravity. It is moving under the action of gravity. We know that the force of gravity always acts in a downward direction.

At the highest point, the velocity of the stone will be equal to 0. It will move will constant acceleration equal to g and it always acts in downward direction.

Hence, the correct option is (e) "downward direction".

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

<em>The ball will go as high as 8.46 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

It's the type of motion that experiences an object launched at a certain height above the ground and moves along a curved path exclusively under the action of gravity.

Being vo the initial speed of the object, θ the initial launch angle, and g the acceleration of gravity, then the maximum height hm can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle h_m=\frac{v_o^2\cdot \sin^2\theta}{2g}

The soccer ball is kicked at a speed of vo=24 m/s at an angle of θ=31°. Taking the value of g=9.8 m/s^2, then:

\displaystyle h_m=\frac{24^2\cdot \sin^2 31^\circ}{2\cdot 9.8}

\displaystyle h_m=\frac{576\cdot 0.2653}{19.6}

h_m=7.80~m

The ball will go as high as 8.46 m

Explanation:

1. The Centauri star system consists of 3 stars and is about 4.37 light-years away from Earth. (A light-year is the distance that light travels in a year.)

2. We see the visible spectrum which consists of colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. (The visible spectrum is the range of light that our eyes can detect.)

3. Because air has a lower index of refraction than water, the light beams making up the image of the fish I see bends as it leaves the water and enters the air. (Index of refraction determines how light bends when moving from one medium into another.)

4. When I look at my reflection in the mirror, the light reflects off the mirror at an equal but opposite angle as it hits the mirror.

5. When looking into a concave mirror the center is further away from you than the outside edges.  (Concave mirrors cave in.)

6. Forklift drivers are careful to look in the convex mirrors placed at blind intersections in the warehouse.

7. is transparent and the light goes through without distortion.

8. The electromagnetic spectrum refers to any or all of the possible wavelengths of "light", both the visible light and invisible light.

9. The transmission of light through a medium means it goes through it.

10. The absorption of light by a medium means it is absorbed by it.

A transverse, wave travelling on a chord is represented by D=0.22sin (5.6x+34t) where D and x are inmeters and t is in seconds.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) λ = 1.12 m

b) f = 5.41 Hz

c) v = 154.54 m/s

d) A = 0.22m

e)

v_D_{max}=7.48\frac{m}{s}\\\\v_D_{min}=-7.48\frac{m}{s}\\\\

Explanation:

You have the following equation for a wave traveling on a cord:

D=0.22sin(5.6x+34t)     (1)

The general expression for a wave is given by:

D=Asin(kx-\omega t)    (2)

By comparing the equation (1) and (2) you have:

A: amplitude of the wave = 0.22m

k: wave number = 5.6 m^-1

w: angular velocity = 34 rad/s

a) The wavelength is given by substitution in the following expression:

\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{5.6m^{-1}}=1.12m

b) The frequency is:

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{34s^{-1}}{2\pi}=5.41Hz

c) The velocity of the wave is:

v=\frac{\omega}{k}=\frac{34s^{-1}}{0.22m^{-1}}=154.54\frac{m}{s}

d) The amplitude is 0.22m

e) To calculate the maximum and minimum speed of the particles you obtain the derivative of  the equation of the wave, in time:

v_D=\frac{dD}{dt}=(0.22)(34)cos(5.6x+34t)\\\\v_D=7.48cos(5.6x+34t)

cos function has a minimum value -1 and maximum +1. Then, you obtain for maximum and minimum velocity:

v_D_{max}=7.48\frac{m}{s}\\\\v_D_{min}=-7.48\frac{m}{s}\\\\
