Since the density of air decreases with an increase in temperature, but the bulk modulus B is nearly independent of temperature,

how would you expect the speed of sound waves in air to vary with temperature?

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concept related to the speed of sound waves in fluids.

By definition we know that the speed would be given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{\beta}{\rho}}

\beta = Bulk modulus

\rho =Density of air

From the expression shown above we can realize that the speed of sound is <em>inversely proportional</em> to the fluid in which it is found, in this case the air. When the density increases, the speed of sound decreases and vice versa.

According to the statement then, if the density of the air decreases due to an increase in temperature, we can conclude that the speed of sound increases when the temperature increases. <u>They are directly proportional.</u>

A 5.0-cm by 7.0-cm rectangular coil has 100 turns. Its axis makes an angle of 65° with a uniform magnetic field of 0.55 T. What
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

0.0814 Wb

Explanation:

L = length of the rectangular coil = 5 cm = 0.05 m

w = width of rectangular coil = 7 cm = 0.07 m

A = Area of the coil = L w = 0.05 x 0.07 = 35 x 10⁻⁴ m²

B = magnitude of uniform magnetic field = 0.55 T

θ = angle of axis of coil with magnetic field = 65°

Magnetic flux through the coil is given as

Φ = N B A Cosθ

Φ = (100) (0.55) (35 x 10⁻⁴ ) Cos65

Φ = 0.0814 Wb

Bacteria provides a valuable clue to the origin of life on Earth. Which of these is the most likely process by which bacteria wa
mezya [45]
The appropriate answer is d. chemical transformation of non living matter. Scientists believe that life originated on earth when the conditions present led to the formation of chemicals that contain carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. These are the primary components of organic matter and consequently all living things. Inorganic matter in ancient oceans could have been transformed into amino acids by complex reactions involving extreme heat or lightening.

Light travels through air faster than it travels through water. How would
Airida [17]

Answer:

The fastest thing in the whole universe is the speed of light in a vacuum (like outer space!), clocking in at a great 2.99 x 108 m/s. Light travels in waves, and we call this traveling propagation. Propagation of waves has both a speed and a direction, called the velocity. The velocity of light changes depends on the material it travels through.

I hope it is helpful. Please mark as brilliant
