Answer:
(a) The ratio of the pressure amplitude of the waves is 43.21
(b) The ratio of the intensities of the waves is 0.000535
Explanation:
Given;
density of gas, = 2.27 kg/m³
density of liquid, = 972 kg/m³
speed of sound in gas, = 376 m/s
speed of sound in liquid, = 1640 m/s
The of the sound wave is given by;
Where;
is the pressure amplitude
(b) when the pressure amplitudes are equal, the ratio of the intensities is given as;
Answer:
The potential energy of the more massive one is twice that of the other.
Explanation:
Potential energy is given by
<em>PE</em> = <em>mgh</em>
where <em>m</em> = mass of body, <em>g</em> = acceleration of gravity and <em>h</em> = height or elevation.
For the less massive car, let the mass be . Then its <em>PE</em> is
For the massive car, let the mass be . Its <em>PE</em> is
But
Hence, the potential energy of the more massive one is twice that of the other.
