Longitudinal sound waves cannot propagate through

Physics
1 answer:
strojnjashka [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A vacuum

Explanation:

Sound waves are examples of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves which are transmitted through the vibrations of the particles in a medium.

For example, sound waves in air consist of oscillations of the air particles, which vibrate back and forth (longitudinal wave) along the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

Given this definition of mechanical wave, we see that such a wave cannot propagate if there is no medium, because there are no particles that would oscillate. Therefore, among the choices given, the following one:

a vacuum

represent the only situation in which a sound wave cannot propagate through: in fact, there are no particles in a vacuum, so the oscillations cannot occur. In all other cases, instead, sound waves can propagate.

A wind turbine with a rotor diameter of 40 m produces 90 kW of electrical power when the wind speed is 8 m/s. The density of air
aleksley [76]

Answer:

0.233

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of rotor, d = 40 m

Power of rotor, P = 90 kW

Speed of the wind, v = 8 m/s

Density of air, p = 1.2 kg/m³

It is a known fact that

KE = ½mv², where mass flow rate, m

m = p.A.v, where Area, A

A = πd²/4

A = (3.142 * 40²)/4

A = 3.142 * 1600/4

A = 3.142 * 400

A = 1256.8 m², substitute for A in the mass flow rate equation

m = p.A.v

m = 1.2 * 1256.8 * 8

m = 12065.28, substitute for m in the KE equation

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ * 12065.28 * 8²

KE = 12065.28 * 32

KE = 386088.96 W or

KE = 386.1 kW

Fraction of kinetic energy converted to electric energy is

Fraction = Electric Power / Total KE

Fraction = 90 / 386.1

Fraction = 0.233

The minimum stopping distance of a car moving at 20.5 mi/h is 11.6 m. Under the same conditions (so that the maximum braking for
pshichka [43]

Answer:

d = 69 .57 meter

Explanation:

First case

Speed of car ( v )  = 20.5 mi/h  = 9.164  M/S

distance ( d ) = 11.6 meter                                       ( m = mass of the car )

Work done = 0.5 m v²  = 0.5 * 9.164² * m J  = 41.99 m J

Force = ( workdone /distance ) = ( 41.99 m / 11.6 )   =  3.619 m N

Second case

v = 50.2 mi/h = 22.44135 m/s

d = ?

Work done = 0.5 * 22.44² * m J = 251.7768 * m J

Since the braking force remains the same .

3.619 m = ( 251.7768 m / d )

d = 69 .57 meter

Force Problem: Four concurrent forces are applied to a 5 Kg mass: 50 N North, 25 N East, 35 N South, and 35 N West.
Kaylis [27]

A) Net horizontal force:
Fx= -35 + 25 + -10N

Net vertical force
Fy= 50 - 35 = 15N

Net force
F^2 = fX^2 +Fy^2
F= 18N

B.) Acceleration of system
a=18/5=3.6m/s^2

C). Equilibriant force must be equal to the net force above
F1= 18N

D.) Acceleration becomes half
a1= a/2 =1.8m/s^2

E.) Equilibrant force also doubles
F" = 2F' = 36N
