Velocity of sound increases on a cloudy day. Why?

2 answers:

The density of air reduces as humidity and amount of water in the air increases. <span> The speed of sound is inversely proportional to the root of density, therefore sound travels faster on a cloudy day than on a dry day so, velocity of sound increase.</span>

Answer:

Because there's a decrease in density.

Explanation:

For fluids, the speed of sound (Vs) is given by the relationship :

$V_{s}=\sqrt{\frac{K_{s}}{d}}$ , where:

Ks = coefficient of stiffness, the isentropic bulk modulus (or the modulus of bulk elasticity for gases).

d = density of the fluid.

As we can see, speed of sound is inversely proportional to density. If density decreases, speed of sound increases.

In a cloudy day, humidity is very high (in fact, when it rains, relative humidity is 100% (maximum) which is why the clouds can't hold any more water). Density is inversely proportional to humidity. So, in a cloudy (or highly humid) day, density decreases, causing an increment in the velocity of sound.

Answer:

emf will also be 10 times less as compared to when it has fallen $40 \mathrm{m}$

Explanation:

We know, from faraday's law-

$e m f=-N \frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta T}$

and $\Phi=B . A$

So, as the height increases the velocity with which it will cross the ring will also increase. $(v=\sqrt{2 g h})$

Given

$\mathrm{V} 1(\text { Speed at } 40 \mathrm{m})=2 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{V} 2(\text { speed at } 10 \mathrm{m})$

$\sqrt{2 g h_{2}}=2 \times \sqrt{2 g h_{1}}=28.28 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

Now, from $40 \mathrm{cm}$

$V_{3}=\sqrt{2 g h_{3}}=\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 0.4}=2.82 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

From equation a and b we see that velocity when dropped from $40 \mathrm{m}$ is 10 times greater when height is 40 $\mathrm{cm}$ so, emf will also be 10 times less as compared to when it has fallen $40 \mathrm{m}$

An object of mass 25kg is falling from the height h=10 m. calculate

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

a=2500J,b=1000K,c=1000J,d=14.142m/s

Explanation:

V²=U²+2gh

V²=0 + 2×10×10=200m/s

a).kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²=(1/2)25×200=2500

potential energy=mgh

p.e=25×10×10=2500J

pe+ke=2500+2500=5KJ

b).mgh=25×10×4=1000J

c). V²=U²+2gh

V²=0+2×10×4

V²=80

kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²

=(1/2)25×80

=1KJ

d). From my first paragraph V²=200

V=√200

V=14.142m/s

An Atwood's machine consists of two different masses, both hanging vertically and connected by an ideal string which passes over

Tasya [4]

Answer:

V₁ = √ (gy / 3)

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the concepts of mechanical energy, for which we define energy n the initial point and the point of average height and / 2

Starting point

Em₀ = U₁ + U₂

Em₀ = m₁ g y₁ + m₂ g y₂

Let's place the reference system at the point where the mass m1 is

y₁ = 0

y₂ = y

Em₀ = m₂ g y = 2 m₁ g y

End point, at height yf = y / 2

$E_{mf}$ = K₁ + U₁ + K₂ + U₂

$E_{mf}$ = ½ m₁ v₁² + ½ m₂ v₂² + m₁ g $y_{f}$ + m₂ g $y_{f}$

Since the masses are joined by a rope, they must have the same speed

$E_{mf}$ = ½ (m₁ + m₂) v₁² + (m₁ + m₂) g $y_{f}$

$E_{mf}$ = ½ (m₁ + 2m₁) v₁² + (m₁ + 2m₁) g $y_{f}$

How energy is conserved

Em₀ = $E_{mf}$

2 m₁ g y = ½ (m₁ + 2m₁) v₁² + (m₁ + 2m₁) g $y_{f}$

2 m₁ g y = ½ (3m₁) v₁² + (3m₁) g y / 2

3/2 v₁² = 2 g y -3/2 g y

3/2 v₁² = ½ g y

V₁ = √ (gy / 3)

When you push a 2.00 kg book resting on a tabletop it takes 4.60 N to start the book sliding. What is the coefficient of static

natali 33 [55]

The coefficient of static friction is 0.234.

Answer:

Explanation:

Frictional force is equal to the product of coefficient of friction and normal force acting on any object.

So here the mass of the object is given as 2 kg, so the normal force will be acting under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

Normal force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Normal force = 2 * 9.8 = 19.6 N.

And the frictional force is given as 4.6 N, then

$Coefficient of static friction = Frictional force/Normal force$

Coefficient of static friction = 4.6 N / 19.6 N = 0.234

So the coefficient of static friction is 0.234.
