Explanation:

There are two components of a longitudinal sound wave which are compression and rarefaction. Similarly, there are two components of the transverse wave, the crest, and trough.

The crest of a wave is defined as the part that has a maximum value of displacement while the trough is defined as the part which corresponds to minimum displacement.

While compression is that space where the particles are close together while the rarefaction is that space where the particles are far apart from each other.

So, the refraction or the rarefied part of a longitudinal sound wave is analogous to a trough of a transverse wave.

A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The absolute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.50 x 105 P

MArishka [77]

Answer:

$F \approx 19.5 N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure of $P_{CO_2}=1.50 * 105 Pa.$

Bottle cap area $A_b= 4.40 * 10-4 m^2$

Generally the equation for Resultant pressure $P_r$ is give as is mathematically given by

$P_r=P_{CO_2}-P_a$

Where

$P_a=atmospheric\ pressure = 1.013*10^5 pa$

$P_r=1.50 * 105 Pa-1.013*10^5 pa$

$P_r=0.487*10^5 pa$

Generally the equation for Force exerted by screw F is give as is mathematically given by

$F = P*A\\F = 0.487*10^5*4.00*10^-4\\ F = 19.48 N$

$F \approx 19.5 N$
