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! :)

(b) The particle displacement y of air molecules due to a sound wave is given by y 4m and w = = 0.008 cos wt sin kz. Where k - m
serious [3.7K]

The distance between two consecutive nodes and the amplitude after 0.56s are m/2 and 1.75×10^(-4) m respectively.

<h3>What's the distance between consecutive nodes of the displacement of air molecules?</h3>
  • Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive nodes or toughs or crests or anti-nodes.
  • So, distance between consecutive nodes = wavelength = 2π÷k

= 2π/(4π÷m)

= m/2

<h3>What's the amplitude after 0.56s of the displacement of air molecules?</h3>

Displacement after 0.56 s = 0.008×cos(50π×0.56s)

=1.75×10^(-4) m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance between consecutive nodes and displacement after 0.56 s are m/2 and 1.75×10^(-4) m respectively.

An astronaut on Pluto attaches a small brass ball to a 1.00-m length of string and makes a simple pendulum. She times 10 complet
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity at Pluto is 0.0597 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Length, L = 1 m

10 oscillations in 257 seconds

Time period, T = 257/10 = 25.7 s

Let the acceleration due to gravity is g.

Use the formula of time period of simple pendulum

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\\25.7 = 2 \times 31.4\sqrt{\frac{1}{g}}\\\\g = 0.0597 m/s^2

A transform boundary occurs where two tectonic plates _____.?
gladu [14]

Where they slide over each other.

Transform boundaries are formed or occur when two plates slide past each other in a sideways motion.  They do not tear or crunch into each other (but the rock in between them may be ground up) and therefore none of the spectacular features are seen such as occur in divergent and convergent boundaries.

In a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary nor destroyed.  They are marked in some places by features like  stream beds that have been split in half and the two halves moved in opposite directions.
