How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?

1 answer:

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! :)

Very easy physics maths about current and other stuffs only one question please help me

Reil [10]

Answer:

The total voltage of the circuit is 18 volts.

Explanation:

We have, three identical resistors of resistance 3 ohms are connected in series in a circuit.

For a series combination, the equivalent resistance is given by the sum of individual resistances i.e.

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3\\\\R_{eq}=3+3+3\\\\R_{eq}=9\ \Omega$

Let V is the voltage of the battery if the current in the circuit is 2 A. So,

$V=IR$

$V=2\times 9\\\\V=18\ V$

So, the total voltage of the circuit is 18 volts.

1. Plot the following graphs:

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

(a) The distance-time graph for an object with uniform speed is giving by a straight line sloped graph with a constant positive or negative gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(b) The distance-time graph for an object with non-uniform speed is giving by a curved line sloped graph with varying gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(c) The velocity-time graph for a car with uniform motion is giving by a horizontal line graph at the speed of constant motion with a zero gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(d) The velocity-time graph for a car moving with uniform acceleration is giving by a straight line sloped graph with a constant positive or negative gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(e) The velocity-time graph for a car moving with non-uniform acceleration is giving by a curved line sloped graph with varying gradient as shown in the attached diagram

(f) According to Newton's first law of motion, an object at rest will remain at rest with no motion unless acted by a force, an therefore, will have no motion with time

Velocity vector and acceleration vector in a uniform circular motion are related as.

mr_godi [17]

They are related as $\bold{\underline {v}\,.\,\underline a }= \bold{0}$

In a uniform circular motion, the magnitude of the speed does not change during the travel and only the instantaneous direction changes.
This speed is always directed along the tangent to the circle at a given point. (refer to the figure attached)
For any circular motion, the must-have acceleration is the centripetal acceleration that is directed towards the centre of the circular locus (if the motion has a tangential acceleration, it has a tangential acceleration additionally).
Therefore, both the directions of the tangential speed and the centripetal acceleration are orthogonal to each other (perpendicular: one is 90 degrees apart from the other).
In mathematics, 2 vectors ( $\underline p$ , $\underline q$ ) that are perpendicular to each other have a quality that their dot product ( $\underline p\,.\, \underline q$ ) equal to zero vector ( $\bold 0$ ) which is written as $\undeline p\,.\, \underline q = \bold 0$ .
This quality can be considered when dealing with the velocity vector and the acceleration vector in a manner $\underline v\,.\, \underline a =\bold 0$ .

A car (mass of 830 kg) is sitting on a car lift in a shop (neglect the mass of the lift itself). While the car is being lifted u

OLEGan [10]

There are two force acting on an object that is being lifted. (1) the weight of the car, (2) the upward force. The difference of these force should be equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration. (This is the content of Newton's 2nd Law of Motion). If we let the lifting force be F,
F - (830)(9.8) = (830)(3.8)
The value of F from the equation is 11288 N.

Light bulb is connected to a 110-V source. What is the resistance of this bulb if it is a 100-W bulb

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula used for calculating power P = current * voltage

P = IV

From ohms law, V = IR where R is the resistance. Substituting V = IR into the formula for calculating power, we will have;

P = IV

P =(V/R)V

P = V²/R

Given parameters

Power rating of the bulb P = 100 Watts

Source voltage V = 110V

Required

Resistance of the bulb R

Substituting the given parameters into the formula for calculating power to get Resistance R;

P = V²/R

100 = 110²/R

R = 110²/100

R = 110 * 110/100

R = 12100/100

R = 121 ohms

<em>Hence, the resistance of this bulb is 121 ohms</em>
