Do compressional waves need a medium? If so which one would be the fastest ans slowest medium.

1 answer:

5 0

Yes, compression waves need a medium. without a medium there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.

A long string is wrapped around a 6.6-cm-diameter cylinder, initially at rest, that is free to rotate on an axle. The string is

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

$\omega_f=571.42\ rpm$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of cylinder, d = 6.6 cm

Radius of cylinder, r = 3.3 cm = 0.033 m

Acceleration of the string, $a=1.5\ m/s^2$

Displacement, d = 1.3 m

The angular acceleration is given by :

$\alpha =\dfrac{a}{r}$

$\alpha =\dfrac{1.5}{0.033}$

$\alpha =45.46\ rad/s^2$

The angular displacement is given by :

$\theta=\dfrac{d}{r}$

$\theta=\dfrac{1.3}{0.033}$

$\theta=39.39\ rad$

Using the third equation of rotational kinematics as :

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta$

Here, $\omega_i=0$

$\omega_f=\sqrt{2\alpha \theta}$

$\omega_f=\sqrt{2\times 45.46\times 39.39}$

$\omega_f=59.84\ rad/s$

Since, 1 rad/s = 9.54 rpm

So,

$\omega_f=571.42\ rpm$

So, the angular speed of the cylinder is 571.42 rpm. Hence, this is the required solution.

brainly an andean condor with a wingspan and a mass soars along a horizontal path. model its wings as a rectangle with a width.

Anna35 [415]

The difference between the pressure at the top surfaces of the condor's wings and the pressure at the bottom surfaces is 101,204 Pa.

<h3>Difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wingspan</h3>

The difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wingspan is calculated as follows;

ΔP = P(top) - P(bottom)

<h3>Area of the wingspan</h3>

A = bh

A = 2.7 m x 0.27 m

A = 0.729 m²

<h3>Weight of the Andean condor</h3>

W = mg

W = 9 x 9.8

W = 88.2 N

<h3>Pressure at the top surface of condor's wings</h3>

The pressure at the top surface of condor's wings is due to atmospheric pressure

P(top) = 14.7 Psi = 101,325 Pa

<h3>Pressure at the bottom surface of condor's wings</h3>

The pressure at the bottom surface is due to weight of andean condor.

P = W/A

P(bottom) = 88.2/0.729

P(bottom) = 120.99 Pa

The difference between the pressure at the top surfaces of the condor's wings and the pressure at the bottom surfaces is calculated as;

ΔP = P(top) - P(bottom)

ΔP = 101,325 Pa - 120.99 Pa

ΔP = 101,204 Pa

The complete question is below;

An Andean condor with a wingspan of 270 cm and a mass of 9.00 kg soars along a horizontal path. Model its wings as a rectangle with a width of 27.0 cm.

Can someone help me ASAP

Phantasy [73]

Well I don't know. Let's actually LOOK at the picture and see if that helps.

A, B, C, and D all have the same TOTAL length, but A has the most waves crammed into that same total length.

By golly, that means the length of <u><em>each</em></u> wave in A must be shorter than each wave in B, C, or D.

The correct choice is <em> A </em>. Looking at the picture did the trick !
