B. There is not enough matter in space to transmit sound waves.
Explanation:
Sound waves are created when there is a vibration of the particles in a medium. For example, our voice is an example of sound wave: when we speak, the molecules of air around us start vibrating, producing regions of higher concentration of molecules (called compressions) and of lower concentration (called rarefactions). It is clear from this definition that sound waves can only propagate if there is a physical medium: such as a gas, a liquid or a solid, but sound waves cannot propagate through empty space.
Since space is almost empty, the correct choice is
B. There is not enough matter in space to transmit sound waves.
C because you need to order it from fastest to slowest and the least amount of time taken is the fastest.
Given Information:
Frequency of horn = f₀ = 440 Hz
Speed of sound = v = 330 m/s
Speed of bus = v₀ = 20 m/s
Answer:
Case 1. When the bus is crossing the student = 440 Hz
Case 2. When the bus is approaching the student = 414.9 Hz
Case 3. When the bus is moving away from the student = 468.4 Hz
Explanation:
There are 3 cases in this scenario:
Case 1. When the bus is crossing the student
Case 2. When the bus is approaching the student
Case 3. When the bus is moving away from the student
Let us explore each case:
Case 1. When the bus is crossing the student:
Student will hear the same frequency emitted by the horn that is 440 Hz.
f = 440 Hz
Case 2. When the bus is approaching the student
f = f₀ ( v / v+v₀ )
f = 440 ( 330/ 330+20 )
f = 440 ( 330/ 350 )
f = 440 ( 0.943 )
f = 414.9 Hz
Case 3. When the bus is moving away from the student
f = f₀ ( v / v+v₀ )
f = 440 ( 330/ 330-20 )
f = 440 ( 330/ 310 )
f = 440 ( 1.0645 )
f = 468.4 Hz
Answer:
a) w = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s
b) v1 = 463.1 m/s
c) v1 = 440.433 m/s
Explanation:
Given:-
- The radius of the earth, R = 6.37 * 10 ^6 m
- The time period for 1 revolution T = 24 hrs
Find:
What is the earth's angular speed?
What is the speed of a point on the equator?
What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 1/5 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator?
Solution:
- The angular speed w of the earth can be related with the Time period T of the earth revolution by:
w = 2π / T
w = 2π / 24*3600
w = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s
- The speed of the point on the equator v1 can be determined from the linear and rotational motion kinematic relation.
v1 = R*w
v1 = (6.37 * 10 ^6)*(7.27 * 10^-5)
v1 = 463.1 m/s
- The angle θ subtended by a point on earth's surface 1/5 th between the equator and the pole wrt equator is.
π/2 ........... s
x ............ 1/5 s
x = π/2*5 = 18°
- The radius of the earth R' at point where θ = 18° from the equator is:
R' = R*cos(18)
R' = (6.37 * 10 ^6)*cos(18)
R' = 6058230.0088 m
- The speed of the point where θ = 18° from the equator v2 can be determined from the linear and rotational motion kinematic relation.
v2 = R'*w
v2 = (6058230.0088)*(7.27 * 10^-5)
v2 = 440.433 m/s
