Why does sound travel faster under water??

Physics
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago
5 0
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.

A ray of light passes from one material into a material with a higher index of refraction. Determine whether each of the followi
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a) the Angle te also decreases , b) decrease, c) unchanged , d) the speed decrease , e) unchanged

Explanation:

When a ray of light passes from one transparent material to another, it must comply with the law of refraction

     n1 sin θ₁ = n2 sin θ₂

Where index v1 is for the incident ray and index 2 for the refracted ray

With this expression let's examine the questions

a) They indicate that the refractive index increases,

      sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

     θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (n₁ /n₂   sin θ₁)

    As m is greater than n1 the quantity on the right is less than one, the whole quantity in parentheses decreases so the Angle te also decreases

Answer is decrease

b) The wave velocity eta related to the wavelength and frequency

      v = λ f

The frequency does not change since the passage from one medium to the other is a process of forced oscillation, resonance whereby the frequency in the two mediums is the same.

The speed decreases with the indicated refraction increases and therefore the wavelength decreases

      λ = λ₀ / n

The answer is decrease

c) from the previous analysis the frequency remains unchanged

d) the refractive index is defined by

       n = c / v

So if n increases, the speed must decrease

The answer is decrease

e) the energy of the photon is given by the Planck equation

      E = h f

Since the frequency does not change, the energy does not change either

Answer remains unchanged

How much work was done by a hot air balloon to lift up a 100 Newton to a height of 300 meters?
Monica [59]

So, the work was done by that hot air-balloon is <u>30,000 J or 30 kJ</u>.

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Hi ! In this question, I will help you. <u>Work is the amount of force exerted to cause an object to move a certain distance from its starting point</u>. In physics, the amount of work will be proportional to the increase in force and increase in displacement. Amount of work can be calculated by this equation :

\boxed{\sf{\bold{W = F \times s}}}

With the following condition :

  • W = work (J)
  • F = force (N)
  • s = shift or displacement (m)

Now, the s (displacement) can be written as ∆h (altitude change) because the object move to vertical line. The formula can also be changed to:

\boxed{\sf{\bold{W = F \times \Delta h}}}

With the following condition :

  • W = work (J)
  • F = force (N)
  • \sf{\Delta h} = change of altitude (m)

If an object has mass, then the object will also be affected by gravity. Always remember that F = m × g. So that :

\sf{W = F \times \Delta h}

\boxed{\sf{\bold{W = m \times g \times \Delta h}}}

With the following condition :

  • W = work (J)
  • m = mass of the object (kg)
  • g = acceleration of the gravity (m/s²)
  • \sf{\Delta h} = change of altitude (m)

<h3>Problem Solving</h3>

We know that :

  • F = force = 100 N
  • \sf{\Delta h} = change of altitude 300 m

What was asked :

  • W = work = ... J

Step by step :

\sf{W = F \times \Delta h}

\sf{W = 100 \times 300}

\boxed{\sf{W = 30,000 \: J = 30 \: kJ}}

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

So, the work was done by that hot air-balloon is 30,000 J or 30 kJ.

A thin spherical shell with radius R1 = 2.00 cm is concentric with a larger thin spherical shell with radius R2 = 6.00 cm. Both
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a. i. 1350 V ii 0 V iii -450 V b. 6.75 kV. The inner shell is at a higher potential.

Explanation:

The formula for electric potential is given by V = Σkq/r, where k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C², q = charge and r = distance.

q₁ = charge on smaller shell = +6.00 nC = +6.00 × 10⁻⁹ C, r₁ = radius of smaller shell = 2.00 cm = 2.00 × 10⁻² m.

q₂ = charge on larger shell = -9.00 nC = -9.00 × 10⁻⁹ C, r₂ = radius of larger shell = 6.00 cm = 6.00 × 10⁻² m.

a. At r = 0, inside both spheres V = kq₁/r₁ + kq₂/r₂. = k(q₁/r₁ + q₂/r₂) = 9 × 10⁹ [+6.00 × 10⁻⁹/2.00 × 10⁻² + (-9.00 × 10⁻⁹/6.00 × 10⁻²)] = 1350 V

ii. At r = 4.00 cm, the point outside of smaller shell but inside larger shell. r₁ = 4.00 cm = 4.00 × 10⁻² m and r₂ = 6.00 cm = 6.00 × 10⁻². So, V = kq₁/r₁ + kq₂/r₂. = k(q₁/r₁ + q₂/r₂) = 9 × 10⁹ [+6.00 × 10⁻⁹/4.00 × 10⁻² + (-9.00 × 10⁻⁹/6.00 × 10⁻²)] = 0 V.

iii. At r = 6.00 cm, the point outside both shells. r₁ = r₂ = r = 6.00 cm = 6.00 × 10⁻². So, V = kq₁/r₁ + kq₂/r₂. = k(q₁ + q₂)/r = 9 × 10⁹ [+6.00 × 10⁻⁹+ (-9.00 × 10⁻⁹)]/6.00 × 10⁻² = -450 V.

b. The potential of the surface of the smaller shell is V₁ = 9 × 10⁹ [+6.00 × 10⁻⁹/2.00 × 10⁻²] = 2700 V = 2.7 kV.

The potential of the surface of the larger shell is V₂ = 9 × 10⁹ [-9.00 × 10⁻⁹/2.00 × 10⁻²] = -4050 V = -4.050 kV. The potential difference V₁ - V₂ = 2700 - (-4050) V = 6750 V = 6.75 kV. Since the potential difference is positive, V₁ is higher. So, the inner shell is at a higher potential.
