Sound in water travels at a velocity governed by the relation v = √(B/rho) where B is the bulk modulus and rho is the density. F

or salt water, take B = 2.28 × 109 Pa and rho = 1043 kg/m3. A whale sends out a high frequency (10 kHz) song to another whale 1.0 km away.

Answer:

t = 0.67635 s

n = 6764

Explanation:

Given:

- The velocity of sound in water v:

                                    v = √(B/rho)

Where, B: Bulk Modulus = 2.28*10^9 Pa

            rho: Density of salt water = 1043 kg/m^3

- The wale sends out a high frequency f = 10 kHz

- The distance between two wales s = 1.0 km

Find:

- Time taken for the sound to travel between whales t?

- How many wavelengths can fit between the two whales n?

Solution:

- The time taken for the sound to travel from one whale to another can be determined from:

                               t = s / v

                               t = s / √(B/rho)

                               t = s*√(rho/B)

- Plug in the values:

                               t = 1000*√(1043/2.28*10^9)

                              t = 0.67635 s

- The wavelength λ of the sound emitted can be calculated by the following formula:

                               λ = √(B/rho) / f

                               λ = √(2.28*10^9/1043) / 10^4

                               λ =  0.14785 m

- The number of wavelengths n that could fit in the distance s is:

                               n*λ = s

                               n = 1000 / 0.14785

                              n = 6764

A ball is attached to a string of length 3 m to make a pendulum. The pendulum is placed at a location that is away from the Eart
Musya8 [376]

1) 0.61 m/s^2

2) 13.9 s

Explanation:

1)

The acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration that an object in free fall (acted upon the force of gravity only) would have.

It can be calculated using the equation:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the object from the Earth's center

The pendulum in the problem is at an altitude of 3 times the radius of the Earth (R), so its distance from the Earth's center is

r=4R

where

R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

Therefore, we can calculate the acceleration due to gravity at that height using eq.(1):

g=\frac{GM}{(4R)^2}=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})0.}{(4\cdot 6.37\cdot 10^6)^2}=0.61 m/s^2

2)

The period of a simple pendulum is the time the pendulum takes to complete one oscillation. It is given by the formula

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity at the location of the pendulum

Note that the period of a pendulum does not depend on its mass.

For the pendulum in this problem, we have:

L = 3 m is its length

g=0.61 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity (calculated in part 1)

Therefore, the period of the pendulum is:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3}{0.61}}=13.9 s
