Given:
u = 10⁵ m/s, the entrance velocity
v = 2.5 x 10⁶ m/s, the exit velocity
s = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m, distance traveled
Let a = the acceleration.
Then
u² + 2as = v²
(10⁵ m/s)² + 2*(a m/s²)*(0.016 m) = (2.5 x 10⁶ m/s)²
0.032a = 6.25 x 10¹² - 10¹⁰ = 6.24 x 10¹²
a = 1.95 x 10¹⁴ m/s²
Answer: 1.95 x 10¹⁴ m/s²
The answer is D. Sound insulators prevent sound from being transmitted better than elastic solids because sound insulators basically muffle and block the sound waves.
Sound waves require a medium. For example - think about space. there is no air or liquid because it is a vacuum, which is why sounds don’t travel through space.
