Why does sound travel faster under water??

Physics

Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago

In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

12.495m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is the range of the projectile motion.

The range is expressed as;

R = 2U/g

U is the speed at which the rock is thrown (initial speed)

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given

R = 255cm = 2.55m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

Speed U

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

2.55 = 2U/9.8

Cross multiply

2U = 2.55×9.8

2U = 24.99

U = 24.99/2

U = 12.495m/s

Hence the speed that you thew the rock is 12.495m/s

A 17.6-kg block rests on a horizontal table and is attached to one end of a massless, horizontal spring. By pulling horizontally
leonid [27]

In order get the block up to a speed of 3.58 m/s in 1.77 s, it must undergo an acceleration <em>a</em> of

<em>a</em> = (3.58 m/s) / (1.77 s) ≈ 2.02 m/s²

When the spring is getting pulled, Newton's second law tells us

• the net vertical force is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0

where ∑ <em>F</em> is the net force, <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force, and <em>mg</em> is the weight of the block - it follows that <em>n</em> = <em>mg</em> ; and

• the net horizontal force is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>F</em> - <em>f</em> = <em>ma</em>

where <em>F</em> is the applied force, <em>f</em> is kinetic friction, <em>m</em> is the block's mass, and <em>a</em> is the acceleration found earlier. <em>F</em> stretches the spring by <em>x</em> = 0.250 m, so we have

<em>F</em> - <em>f</em> = <em>kx</em> - <em>µn</em> = <em>kx</em> - <em>µmg</em> = <em>ma</em>

where <em>k</em> is the spring constant and <em>µ</em> is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

When the block is being pulled at a constant speed, Newton's second law says

• the net vertical force is still

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0

so that <em>n</em> = <em>mg</em> again; and

• the net horizontal force is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>F</em> - <em>f</em> = 0

This time, <em>F</em> stretches the spring by <em>y</em> = 0.0544 m, so we have

<em>F</em> - <em>f</em> = <em>ky</em> - <em>µmg</em> = 0

Solve the equations in boldface for <em>k</em> and <em>µ</em> :

<em>kx</em> - <em>µmg</em> = <em>ma</em>

<em>ky</em> - <em>µmg</em> = 0

==>   <em>k</em> (<em>x</em> - <em>y</em>) = <em>ma</em>

==>   <em>k</em> = <em>ma</em> / (<em>x</em> - <em>y</em>)

==>   <em>k</em> = (17.6 kg) (2.02 m/s²) / (0.250 m - 0.0544 m) ≈ 182 N/m

Then

<em>ky</em> - <em>µmg</em> = 0

==>   <em>µ</em> = <em>ky </em>/ (<em>mg</em>)

==>   <em>µ</em> = (182 N/m) (0.0544 m) / ((17.6 kg) <em>g</em>) ≈ 0.0574

crowbar of 5 metre is used to lift an object of 800 metre if the effort arm is 200cm calculate the force applied​
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

 F = 5226.6 N

Explanation:

To solve a lever, the rotational equilibrium relation must be used.

We place the reference system on the fulcrum (pivot point) and assume that the positive direction is counterclockwise

         F d₁ = W d₂

where F is the applied force, W is the weight to be lifted, d₁ and d₂ are the distances from the fulcrum.

In this case the length of the lever is L = 5m, t the distance desired by the fulcrum from the weight to be lifted is

d₂ = 200 cm = 2 m

therefore the distance to the applied force is

          d₁ = L -d₂

         d₁ = 5 -2

         d₁= 3m

we clear from the equation

          F = W d₂ / d₁

          W = m g

          F = m g d₂ / d₁

we calculate

      F = 800 9.8 2/3

      F = 5226.6 N
