What is wave speed measured in?

Physics
1 answer:
bekas [8.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Speed = Wavelength x Wave Frequency. In this equation, wavelength is measured in meters and frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), or number of waves per second. Therefore, wave speed is given in meters per second, which is the SI unit for speed.

scoundrel [369]

Explanation:

1) This is a synthesis reaction (two or more reactants combine to form a single product).

2) The coefficients are added to balance the reaction.

3) Adding the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) will make the reaction more precise.

In midair an M = 145 kg bomb explodes into two pieces of m1 = 115 kg and another, respectively. Before the explosion, the bomb w
Daniel [21]

Answer:

v_2=-133.17m/s, the minus meaning west.

Explanation:

We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before (p_i) and after (p_f) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.

Before the explosion we have p_i=m_iv_i=Mv_i.

After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so p_f=m_1v_1+m_2v_2.

These equations must be vectorial but since we look at the instants before and after the explosions and the bomb fragments in only 2 pieces the problem can be simplified in one dimension with direction east-west.

Since we know momentum must be conserved we have:

Mv_i=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Which means (since we want v_2 and M=m_1+m_2):

v_2=\frac{Mv_i-m_1v_1}{m_2}=\frac{Mv_i-m_1v_1}{M-m_1}

So for our values we have:

v_2=\frac{(145kg)(24m/s)-(115kg)(65m/s)}{(145kg-115kg)}=-133.17m/s

On a horizontal frictionless surface a mass M is attached to two light elastic strings both having length l and both made of the
EastWind [94]

Answer:

ω = √(2T / (mL))

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the mass.  There are two tension forces, one pulling down and left, the other pulling down and right.

The x-components of the tension forces cancel each other out, so the net force is in the y direction:

∑F = -2T sin θ, where θ is the angle from the horizontal.

For small angles, sin θ ≈ tan θ.

∑F = -2T tan θ

∑F = -2T (Δy / L)

(b) For a spring, the restoring force is F = -kx, and the frequency is ω = √(k/m).  (This is derived by solving a second order differential equation.)

In this case, k = 2T/L, so the frequency is:

ω = √((2T/L) / m)

ω = √(2T / (mL))

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical  component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.

A piano string having a mass per unit length equal to 5.20 10-3 kg/m is under a tension of 1 450 N. Find the speed with which a
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The wave in the string travels with a speed of 528.1 m/s

Explanation:

Wave speed of sound waves in a string, v, is related to the Tension in the string, T, and the mass per unit length, μ, by the relation,

v = √(T/μ)

μ = 5.20 × 10⁻³ kg/m

T = 1450N

v = √(1450/0.0052) = 528.1 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!
