Learning Goal: To understand the nature of a sound wave, including its properties: frequency, wavelength, loudness, pitch, and t

imbre.
Sound is a phenomenon that we experience constantly in our everyday life. Therefore, it is important to understand the physical nature of a sound wave and its properties to correct common misconceptions about sound propagation.
Most generally, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave that propagates in a medium (i.e., air). The particles in the medium oscillate back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave. This displacement of the particles generates a sequence of compressions and rarefactions of the medium. Thus, a sound wave can also be described in terms of pressure variations that travel through the medium. The pressure fluctuates at the same frequency with which the particles’ positions oscillate.
When the human ear perceives sound, it recognizes a series of pressure fluctuations rather than displacements of individual air particles.

Part A

Based on the information presented in the introduction of this problem, what is a sound wave?

A. Propagation of sound particles that are different from the particles that comprise the medium
B. Propagation of energy that does not require a medium
C. Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium
D. Propagation of energy that passes through empty spaces between the particles that comprise the medium

Part B

Having established that a sound wave corresponds to pressure fluctuations in the medium, what can you conclude about the direction in which such pressure fluctuations travel?

A. The direction of motion of pressure fluctuations is independent of the direction of motion of the sound wave.
B. Pressure fluctuations travel perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the sound wave.
C. Pressure fluctuations travel along the direction of propagation of the sound wave.

Part C

Does air play a role in the propagation of the human voice from one end of a lecture hall to the other?

A. yes
B. no

A projectile proton with a speed of 500 m/s collides elastically with a target proton initially at rest. The two protons then mo
makkiz [27]

Answer:

(a) The speed of the target proton after the collision is:V_{2f} =433(m/s), and (b) the speed of the projectile proton after the collision is: v_{1f}=250(m/s).

Explanation:

We need to apply at the system the conservation of the linear momentum on both directions x and y, and we get for the x axle:m_{1} v_{1i} =m_{1} v_{1f}Cos\beta _{1} +m_{2} v_{2f}Cos\beta _{2}, and y axle:0=m_{1} v_{1f}Sin\beta _{1}+m_{2} v_{2f}Sin\beta _{2}. Now replacing the value given as: v_{1i}=500(m/s), \beta_{1}=+60^{o} for the projectile proton and according to the problem \beta_{1}and\beta_{2} are perpendicular so \beta_{2}=-30^{o}, and assuming that m_{1}=m_{2}, we get for x axle:500=v_{1f}Cos\beta _{1}+ v_{2f}Cos\beta _{2} and y axle: 0=v_{1f}Sin\beta _{1}+v_{2f}Sin\beta _{2}, then solving for v_{2f}, we get:v_{2f}=-v_{1f}\frac{Sin\beta_{1}}{Sin\beta_{2}}= \sqrt{3}v_{1f} and replacing at the first equation we get:500=\frac{1}{2} v_{1f} +\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} *\sqrt{3}*v_{1f}, now solving for v_{1f}, we can find the speed of the projectile proton after the collision as:v_{1f}=250(m/s) and v_{2f}=\sqrt{3}*v_{1f}=433(m/s), that is the speed of the target proton after the collision.

Diagram B D c с Which car has: Ke = 100 PE=0? * 1 point A B C D​
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The car C has KE = 100, PE = 0

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of energy states that although energy can be transformed from one form to another, the total energy of the given system remains unchanged.

The energy that a body possesses due to its motion or position is known as mechanical energy. There are two kinds of mechanical energy: kinetic energy, KE and potential energy, PE.

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body possesses due to its motion.

Potential energy is the energy a body possesses due to its position.

From the principle of conservation of energy, kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy and vice versa, but in all cases the energy is conserved or constant.

In the diagram above, the cars at various positions of rest or motion are transforming the various forms of mechanical energy, but the total energy is conserved at every point. At the point A, energy is all potential, at B, it is partly potential partly kinetic energy, However, at the point C, all the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. At D, some of the kinetic energy has been converted to potential energy as the car climbs up the hill.

Therefore, the car C has KE = 100, PE = 0

For a concave mirror, when the object is at focus the image is formed at
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

When the object is placed at the focus the image is formed at infinity.

Explanation:

When a ray passes through focus and incident on a concave mirror then it will travel parallel to principal axis after reflection.Hence the image is formed at infinity.
