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! :)

The half-life of the reaction gets shorter as the initial concentration is increased. True or False

Art [367]

True

The half-life isn’t applicable to a first order reaction because it does not rely on the concentration of reactant present. However the 2nd order reaction is dependent on the concentration of the reactant present.

The relationship between the half life and the reactant is an inverse one.

The half life is usually reduced or shortened with an increase in the concentration and vice versa.

At what position or positions on the x-axis is the electric field zero?

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The electric field will be zero at x = ± ∞.

Explanation:

Suppose, A -2.0 nC charge and a +2.0 nC charge are located on the x-axis at x = -1.0 cm and x = +1.0 cm respectively.

We know that,

The electric field is

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

The electric field vector due to charge one

$\vec{E_{1}}=\dfrac{kq_{1}}{r_{1}^2}(\hat{x})$

The electric field vector due to charge second

$\vec{E_{2}}=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{r_{2}^2}(-\hat{x})$

We need to calculate the electric field

Using formula of net electric field

$\vec{E}=\vec{E_{1}}+\vec{E_{2}}$

$\vec{E_{1}}+\vec{E_{2}}=0$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{kq_{1}}{r_{1}^2}(\hat{x})+\dfrac{kq_{2}}{r_{2}^2}(-\hat{x})=0$

$\dfrac{kq_{1}}{r_{1}^2}(\hat{x})=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{r_{2}^2}(\hat{x})$

$(\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})^2=\dfrac{q_{2}}{q_{1}}$

$\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{2}}{q_{1}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{2.0+x}{x}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{2.0}{2.0}}$

$2.0+x=x$

If x = ∞, then the equation is be satisfied.

Hence, The electric field will be zero at x = ± ∞.

Two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction. If the currents in the wires are 1A and 4A and the wires are 5 m apart.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

$1.6\times 10^{-7}$ N

$2.4\times 10^{-7}$ N

Explanation:

$i_{1}$ = 1 A

$i_{2}$ = 4 A

$r$ = distance between the two wire = 5 m

$F$ = Force per unit length acting between the two wires

Force per unit length acting between the two wires is given as

$F = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi }\frac{2i_{1}i_{2}}{r}$

$F = (10^{-7})\frac{2(1)(4)}{5}$

$F = 1.6\times 10^{-7}$ N

$r'}$ = distance of each wire from the midpoint = 2.5 m

Magnetic field midway between the two wires is given as

$B = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \left \left ( \frac{2i_{2}}{r'} \right - \frac{2i_{1}}{r'} \right \right ))$

$B = (10^{-7}) \left \left ( \frac{2(4)}{2.5} \right - \frac{2(1)}{2.5} \right \right ))$

$B = 2.4\times 10^{-7}$

A train of mass 50000 kg starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration 5 km/h2 then, find its kinetic energy after 30 min

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

12 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 km/h

a = 5 km/h²

t = 30 min = 0.5 h

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (5 km/h²) (0.5 h) + 0 km/h

v = 2.5 km/h

v = 2.5 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 3600 s)

v = 0.694 m/s

KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (50,000 kg) (0.694 m/s)²

KE = 12,000 J

KE = 12 kJ
