The speed of sound at room temperature (20 degrees Celsius) is 343 m/s. If the speed of sound in air increases about 0.60 m/s fo
stepan [7]

Answer:

36,67 degrees Celsius

Explanation:

The simplest way to approach this problem, given the information provided, is to simply start with the speed difference.

Goal: 353 m/s

Start: 343 m/s (at 20 degrees Celsius).

Difference: 10 m/s

Variation rate: 0.60 m/s/d (d = degree)

d = \frac{10 m/s}{0.60 m/s/d}  = 16,67 d

So, 16,67 degrees more than the starting point.

The temperature will then be 36.67 degrees Celsius, when the sound travels at the speed of 353 m/s.

Colt1911 [192]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a

   The tension is  T =  48.255 \ N

b

   The time taken is  t =  0.226 \ s

c

   The position for maximum velocity is  

        S = 0  

d

     The maximum velocity is  V_{max} =0.384 \ m/s

Explanation:

The free body for this question is shown on the second uploaded image

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the bob  is m_b  =  5 \ kg

     The angle is  \theta = 10^o

     The length of the string is  L =  0.5 \ m

The tension on the string is mathematically represented as

              T  = mg cos \theta

substituting values

             T =  5 * 9.8 cos(10)

             T =  48.255 \ N

The motion of the bob is mathematically represented as

             S =  A sin (w t  + \frac{\pi }{2} )

     =>   S =  A sin (wt)

Where  w is the angular speed

and  \frac{\pi}{2} is the phase change

At initial position S =  0

   So   wt  = cos^{-1} (0)

          wt  = 1

Generally w can be mathematically represented as

          w =  \frac{2 \pi }{T}

Where T is the period of oscillation which i mathematically represented as

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

So  

      t   = \frac{1}{w}

       t   = \frac{T}{2 \pi}

       t =  \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

substituting values

       t =  \sqrt{\frac{0.5}{9.8} }

       t =  0.226 \ s

Looking at the equation

         wt =  1

We see that maximum velocity of the bob will be at  S = 0  

i. e     w =  \frac{1}{t}

The maximum velocity is mathematically represented as

          V_{max}   =  w A

Where A is the amplitude which is mathematically represented as

         A = L sin \theta

So

      V_{max} = \frac{2 \pi }{T }  L sin \theta

      V_{max} = \frac{2 \pi }{2 \pi } \sqrt{\frac{g}{L} }   L sin \theta  Recall   T  =  2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

     V_{max} = \sqrt{gL} sin \theta

substituting values        

       V_{max} = \sqrt{9.8 * 0.5 } sin (10)

       V_{max} =0.384 \ m/s

What is the approximate terminal velocity of a sky diver before the parachute opens
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The approximate terminal velocity of a sky diver before the parachute opens is 320 km/h.

Explanation:

  • The terminal velocity is the maximum magnitude of velocity that is attained by the diver when he or she falls in the air.
  • The terminal velocity of the person diving in air before opening parachute is 320 km/h that means the velocity when the person is experiencing free fall is 320 km/h.
  • During terminal velocity, we can represent mathematical equation as;

                           Buoyancy force + drag force = Gravity

All but two gaps within a set of Venetian blinds have been blocked off to create a double-slit system. These gaps are separated
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Explanation:

separation between two gaps, d = 5 cm

angle between central and second order maxima, θ = 0.52°

use

d Sinθ = n λ

n = 2

0.05 x Sin 0.52° = 2 x λ

λ = 2.27 x 10^-4 m

λ = 226.9 micro metre
