The speed of sound in air is approximately 350 m/s. You are sitting in a canyon with cliffs 525 m from you. You clap your hands.

How long a delay is it to hear an echo of the clap?

Answer:

3 s.

Explanation:

Echo is defined as the repetition of a sound produced by the reflection of sound waves from an obstructing surface like a wall, mountain etc.

v = f*lambda

Where,

Lambda = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave = 1/t

v = velocity of the wave.

Distance there and back = initial ditance * 2

= 525 x 2

= 1050.

Time taken, t = lamda/velocity

= 1050 / 350

= 3 s.

So the delay is 3 seconds.

Six artificial satellites circle a space station at constant speed. The mass m of each satellite, distance L from the space stat
nikklg [1K]

Answers:

a) T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}

b) a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}

Explanation:

a) Since we are told the satellites circle the space station at constant speed, we can assume they follow a uniform circular motion and their tangential speeds V are given by:

V=\omega L=\frac{2\pi}{T} L (1)

Where:

\omega is the angular frequency

L is the radius of the orbit of each satellite

T is the period of the orbit of each satellite

Isolating T:

T=\frac{2 \pi L}{V} (2)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

T_{1}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{1}}=261.79 s (3)

T_{2}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{2}}=1570.79 s (4)

T_{3}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{3}}=196.349 s (5)

T_{4}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{4}}=98.174 s (6)

T_{5}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{5}}=785.398 s (7)

T_{6}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{6}}=196.349 s (8)

Ordering this periods from largest to smallest:

T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}

b) Acceleration a is defined as the variation of velocity in time:

a=\frac{V}{T} (9)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

a_{1}=\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=0.458 m/s^{2} (10)

a_{2}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}=0.0254 m/s^{2} (11)

a_{3}=\frac{V_{3}}{T_{3}}=0.4074 m/s^{2} (12)

a_{4}=\frac{V_{4}}{T_{4}}=1.629 m/s^{2} (13)

a_{5}=\frac{V_{5}}{T_{5}}=0.101 m/s^{2} (14)

a_{6}=\frac{V_{6}}{T_{6}}=0.814 m/s^{2} (15)

Ordering this acceerations from largest to smallest:

a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}
