How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?

Physics
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
7 0

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles. As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed. Therefore the vibration is quicker in solids than liquids.

Hope it helps you! :)

Interesting question. I'd take a guess that it could be either mirrors and light travelling in straight lines and being reflected, or optical fibres to achieve a perhaps similar result.

The rate at which a force displaces a mass a horizontal distance is measured in?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

c. joules

Explanation:

The rate at which a force displaces a mass a horizontal distance is measured in joules. In science, this phenomenon is known as work done.

Work done can be defined as the rate at which a force acting on an object or a body causes it to experience a displacement. The work done is a scalar quantity and is measured in joules (J).

Mathematically, work done is given by the formula;

Work done = force * distance

W = F * d

Where,

  • W is the work done
  • F represents the force acting on a body.
  • d represents the distance covered by the body.

A baseball pitcher throws the ball towards the batter at 90 mph. His bat connects with the ball for a line drive, after which th
forsale [732]

Answer:

F=-18412.9N, where the minus indicates the direction is opposite to that of the throw.

Explanation:

a)

Since MKS stands for meter-kilogram-second and we know that:

1\ hour = 3600\ seconds

1\ mile = 1600\ meters

1000g = 1kg

We can write that:

\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds}=1

\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile}=1

\frac{1kg}{1000g}=1

These are conversion factors, equal to 1, so multiplying our results by them won't change their value, only their units.

So we have that:

90 mph=90 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=40m/s

110 mph=110 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=48.89m/s

145 g=145 g(\frac{1kg}{1000g})=0.145kg

b)

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma, and the definition of acceleration is a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}, so we have:

F=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

Taking the throw direction as the positive one, for our values we have:

F=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}=(0.145kg)\frac{(-48.89m/s)-(+40m/s)}{0.0007s}=-18412.9N
