How do supersonic flights create sonic boom? Please explain in detail.

Physics
1 answer:
Alekssandra [29.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Ok a full paragraph is at least 5 sentences

1. "A sonic boom is a phenomenon that happens when a supersonic plane travels at speeds greater then the speed of sound."

2. "The way this happens is that as the plane is traveling at supersonic speeds ( speeds greater than that of sound) this means it's going faster than its own sound."

3. "As a result, a pressure wave is produced in the shape of a cone which has its vertex at the nose of the plane and its base behind the plane."

4. "The angle opening on the cone depends on the speed the plane is traveling at. All of the sound pressure is contained in this cone."

5. "Imagine the plane is traveling towards you. As it reaches near you, you can see it but you cannot hear anything. As your ears touch the edge of the cone, you hear the very loud sonic boom. You hear the sonic boom as your ears reach the cone ; not when the plane breaks the sound barrier."

Hope this helps. Okay its more than 5 but maybe thats better :D

05. The time required to complete one lap around a perfectly circular track having a radius of 1,835 meters is 86
likoan [24]

Answer:

v = 134.06 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a circular track is 1,835 m

Time required to complete one lap around a perfectly circular track is 86 seconds

We need to find the car's velocity. Velocity is equal to,

v=d/t

On circular path,

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{2\pi \times 1835}{86}\\\\v=134.06\ m/s

So, car's velocity is 134.06 m/s.

A runner has a temperature of 40°c and is giving off heat at the rate of 50cal/s (a) What is the rate of heat loss in watts? (b)
Andrew [12]

Answer:

(a)  209 Watt

(b) 4482.8 seconds

Explanation:

(a) P = 50×4.18

Where P = rate of heat loss in watt

    P = 209 Watt

Applying,

Q = cm(t₁-t₂)................ Equation 1

Where Q = amount of heat given off, c = specific heat capacity capacity of human, m = mass of the person, t₁ and t₂ = initial and final temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 90 kg, t₁ = 40°C, t₂ = 37°C

Constant: c = 3470 J/kg.K

Substtut these values into equation 1

Q = 90×3470(40-37)

Q = 936900 J

But,

P = Q/t.............. Equation 2

Where t = time

t = Q/P............ Equation 3

Given: P = 209 Watt, Q = 936900

Substitute into equation 3

t = 936900/209

t = 4482.8 seconds

Tranh slowed his skateboard as he
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 8m/s

Final velocity  = 2m/s

Time taken  = 3seconds

Unknown and solution:

1. Is he accelerating or decelerating?

Tranh is obviously decelerating in this period. This is negative form of acceleration in which the speed reduces as the body comes to a stop.

Deceleration is a negative change in velocity with time i.e a body is reducing its velocity as time is changing.

2. What is the value?

 Mathematically;

          Deceleration  = \frac{Final velocity  - initial velocity}{time taken}

         Deceleration  = \frac{2 -8}{3}

                                  = -2m/s²

Free electromagnetic oscillations occur in an electrical circuit. Knowing the characteristic dimensions of the elements, L=20mH
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

a. 0.199 ms b. 5.03 kHz c. 0.1 mJ

Explanation:

a. The period of oscillation of an L-C circuit is T = 2π√(LC) where L = inductance = 20 mH = 20 × 10⁻³ H and C = capacitance = 0.005 mF = 5 × 10⁻⁶ F.

So, T = 2π√(LC)

= 2π√(20 × 10⁻³ H × 5 × 10⁻⁶ F)

= 2π√(100 × 10⁻¹¹)

= 2π√(10 × 10⁻¹⁰)

= 2π(3.16 × 10⁻⁵)

= 19.87 × 10⁻⁵

= 1.987 × 10⁻⁴ s

= 1.99 × 10⁻⁴ s

= 0.199 × 10⁻³ s

= 0.199 ms

b. frequency , f = 1/T where T = period = 0.199 × 10⁻³ s.

So, f = 1/0.199 × 10⁻³ s

= 5.03 × 10³ Hz

= 5.03 kHz

c. The electromagnetic energy E = 1/2Li² where L = inductance = 20 × 10⁻³ H and i = current = 100 mA = 0.1 A

So, E = 1/2Li²

= 1/2 × 20 × 10⁻³ H × (0.1 A)²

= 0.1 × 10⁻³ J

= 0.1 mJ

A 65kg person throw a 0.045kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 30m/s. A second person, with a mass of 60kg, catches the s
Kobotan [32]
Well, st first we should find <span>initial momentum for the first person represented in the task which definitely must be :
</span>(65+0.045)*2.5
And then we find the final one :  65*x + 0.045*30
Then equate them together : x=2.48 m/s 
So we can get the velocity, which is is 2.48 m/s
In that way, according to the main rules of <span>conservation of momentum you can easily find the solution for the second person.
