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

What is the value for the kinetic energy for a n = 5 Bohr orbit electron in zeptoJoules?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is 86.6 zepto joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of orbit n =5

We know that,

Bohr's radius for hydrogen atom is

r = 0.53\times10^{-10}\times n^2\ m

Now, put the value of n in the formula of radius

r=0.53\times10^{-10}\times5^2

r =1.33\times10^{-9}\ m

We need to calculate the kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

E_{k}=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\times\dfrac{e^2}{2\times r_{s}}

Put the value into the formula

E_{k}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(1.6\times10^{-19})^2}{2\times1.33\times10^{-9}}

E_{k}=8.66\times10^{-20}\ J

We know that,

1\ zepto\ joule=1\times10^{-21}\ J

The kinetic energy is

E_{k}=\dfrac{8.66\times10^{-20}}{1\times10^{-21}}

E_{k}=86.6\ zepto\ Joules

Hence, The kinetic energy is 86.6 zepto joules.

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 27.9 m/s from a height of 2.0 m. How long does it take to reach its highest p
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

2.84403 seconds

2.91483 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-27.9}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=2.84403\ s

It takes 2.84403 seconds to reach the highest point

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-27.9^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=39.67431 m

The ball will travel 39.67431+2 = 41.67431 m while going down to the ground

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 41.71479=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{41.67431\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.91483\ s

The ball takes 2.91483 seconds to hit the ground after it reaches its highest point.

A support crossbeam on a high speed train is made from a titanium rod that has a length of 0.650m when measured by an observer o
Vilka [71]

Answer:

A) The crossbeam is moving relative to the observer on the platform so the height appears contracted.

Explanation:

The observer on the train and the beam are in the same reference frame. That means observer on the train will measure the proper length of the beam not the contracted length . the observer is outside and the plank is in the moving system,it will appear to be moving.
