Peak value is what we say to the maximum value of the signal..
or rms value..root mean square value
STEP ONE:
Let you and your friend stand as far away as possible from a large reflecting wall and clap your hands rapidly at a regular rate.
STEP TWO:
Adjust this rate until each clap just coincides with the return of an echo of its predecessor, or until clap and echo are heard as equally spaced.
STEP THREE:
Use a stopwatch to find the time between claps, t. Make a rough measurement of distance to the wall, s. Thus the speed of sound, v = 2s/t
Answer:
a) velocity v = 322.5m/s
b) time t = 19.27s
Explanation:
Note that;
ads = vdv
where
a is acceleration
s is distance
v is velocity
Given;
a = 6 + 0.02s
so,
Remember that
![v = \frac{ds}{dt} \\\frac{ds}{v} = dt\\\int\limits^s_0 {\frac{ds}{\sqrt{12s+0.02s^{2} } } } \, ds = \int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt \\t= (5\sqrt{2} ) ln \frac{| [s + 300 + \sqrt{(s^{2} + 600s)} ] |}{300} .......2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bds%7D%7Bdt%7D%20%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7Bds%7D%7Bv%7D%20%3D%20dt%5C%5C%5Cint%5Climits%5Es_0%20%7B%5Cfrac%7Bds%7D%7B%5Csqrt%7B12s%2B0.02s%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%7D%20%7D%20%5C%2C%20ds%20%3D%20%5Cint%5Climits%5Et_0%20%7B%7D%20%5C%2C%20dt%20%5C%5Ct%3D%20%20%285%5Csqrt%7B2%7D%20%29%20ln%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%7C%20%5Bs%20%2B%20300%20%2B%20%5Csqrt%7B%28s%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%2B%20600s%29%7D%20%5D%20%7C%7D%7B300%7D%20.......2)
substituting s = 2km =2000m, into equation 1
v = 322.5m/s
substituting s = 2000m into equation 2
t = 19.27s
