Whenever you watch a high-flying aircraft overhead, it seems that its sound comes from behind the craft rather than from where y

ou see it. Why is this?
Physics

exis [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It takes more time for sound to travel to location, thus one "hear" aircraft at  one of the previous positions. Since light travels at much much speed, the plane is seen at its current position.

Explanation:

The speed of the sound in air = 344 m/s

The speed of the light in air = 3×10⁸  m/s

Since the speed of the light is way more than the speed of the sound in air and this when a high flying aircraft is being watched overhead , the person first sees the aircraft because the speed of light is much faster and <u>the sound of the aircraft come from behind the craft rather than from it is being seen because the speed of sound is very less as compared to that of light.</u>

What is Angular acceleration, please explain this concept. Give any equations that involve angular acceleration and explain them
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change of angular velocity of a body.

consider the attached figure as shown

It rotates with an angular velocity \omega

An point inside the object rotates along the path as indicated thus turning by an angle \theta in time 't'

Thus we have

\alpha =\frac{d\omega }{dt}\\\\=\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{d\theta }{dt})\\\\\therefore \alpha =\frac{d^{2}\theta }{dt^{2}}

physically angular acceleration can be understood as the rate at which the angular speed of any object is changing with time.

A piece of wood of mass 300 g has a volume of 400 cm3<br>Find the density of the wood.​
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: 0.75 g/cm³

Explanation:

FORMULA

Density=mass/volume

-----------------------------------

Given: mass is 300 g, volume is 400 cm³

Density=mass/volume

Density=300/400

Density=3/4

Density=0.75 g/cm³

Hope this helps!! :)

a 62kg person is going down the hill slopes at 32°. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.15. h
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

20. m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the skier.  There are three forces: normal force pushing perpendicular to the slope, weight pulling down, and friction force pushing up the slope.

Sum of the forces perpendicular to the slope:

∑F = ma

N − mg cos θ = 0

N = mg cos θ

Sum of the forces parallel to the slope:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ − Nμ = ma

Substituting:

mg sin θ − (mg cos θ) μ = ma

g (sin θ − μ cos θ) = a

Given g = 9.8 m/s², θ = 32°, and μ = 0.15:

a = (9.8 m/s²) (sin 32° − (0.15) cos 32°)

a = 3.95 m/s²

After 5.0 s, the velocity is:

v = at + v₀

v = (3.95 m/s²) (5.0 s) + (0 m/s)

v = 19.7 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the skier's velocity is 20. m/s.

Physics principles involved in the tablecloth trick???
charle [14.2K]
Inertia: the plates over the tablecloth will try to stay in the same state of non movement. If there is minimum friction between the tablecloth and the objects standing on it, a rapid movement of the tablecloth does not change the state of the objects.
