What would the velocity of a wave traveling in a medium change?

Physics
1 answer:
zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
8 0
Both the speed and the direction of a wave could change
at the beginning and end of the medium, when the wave
crosses from one medium into a different one. 

But while the wave is moving from one place to another place
in the same medium, its speed and direction don't change.

A record turntable is rotating at 33 rev/min. A watermelon seed is on the turntable 4.4 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) Calcul
romanna [79]

Answer:

a) a =0.53 m/s²

b) μ=0.054

c) μ = 0.068

Explanation:

a) If we assume that the turntable is rotating at a constant speed, the only force acting on the seed parallel to the surface, which keeps it  from following a straight line trajectory, is the centripetal force.

So, we can apply Newton's 2nd Law to the seed in this way:

Fnet = m*a = m*ac = m*ω²*r

We have the value of the angular speed, ω, in rev/min, so it is advisable to convert it to rad/sec, as follows:

ω = 33 rev/min*(1 min/60 sec)*(2*π rad/ 1 rev) = 11/10*π rad/sec

So, replacing in (1), we can solve for ac, as follows:

ac = ω²*r = (11/10)²*π²*0.044 m = 0.53 m/s²

b) Now, the centripetal force that we found above, is not a new type of force, it must be a force that explains the behavior of the seed.

As the seed does not slip, the only force acting  on it parallel to the surface, is the static  friction force, which has a maximum value, as follows:

Ff = μ*N

As there is no movement in the vertical direction, this means that the normal force must be equal and opposite to Fg, so we can write the expression for Ff as follows:

Ff = μ*m*g

Now, this force is no other than centripetal force, so we can write this equation:

Ff  = Fc ⇒ μ*m*g = m*ac

⇒ μ*g = ac

Solving for μ:

μ = ac/g = 0.53 m/s² / 9.8 m/s² = 0.054

c) During the acceleration period, added to the centripetal acceleration, as the angular speed is not constant, we will have also an angular acceleration, γ , which we can get as follows:

γ = Δω/Δt = (11/10)*π / 0.37 s = 9.34 rad/sec²

By definition of angular acceleration, there exists a fixed  relationship between the angular acceleration and the tangential acceleration (same as the one between angular and tangential speed), as follows:

at = γ*r = 9.34 rad/sec²*0.044 m = 0.41 m/s

When the turntable has reached to its maximum angular velocity, it will have also the maximum value of the centripetal acceleration, which we have just found out.

So, the magnitude of the total acceleration (at the moment of maximum acceleration) as they are perpendicular each  other) , is given by the following expression:

a = √(ac)²+(at)² = 0.67 m/s²

Now, as friction force opposes to the relative movement between surfaces (the seed and the turntable), it shall be larger than the product of the mass times the total acceleration, acting along  the same action line, so we can say:

Ffmin = μ*m*g = m*a

⇒ μmin = a/g = 0.67 m/s²/9.8 m/s² = 0.068

What is air pressure
vesna_86 [32]
Air pressure is the wi get of air molecules pressing down on the earth. The pressure of the air molecules changes as you move upward from sea level into the atmosphere, the highest pressure is at sea level where the density of the air molecules is the greatest.

A proton moves from a location where V = 87 V to a spot where V = -40 V. (a) What is the change in the proton's kinetic energy?
Art [367]

Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field.  This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.

If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then  they can not move to higher potential  if any  external force does work on the system.

In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons  can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).

A gas has an initial volume of 2.5 L at a temperature of 275 K and a pressure of 2.1 atm. The pressure of the gas increases to 2
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

2.10L

Explanation:

Given data

V1= 2.5L

T1= 275K

P1= 2.1atm

P2= 2.7 atm

T2= 298K

V2= ???

Let us apply the gas equation

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

substitute into the expression we have

2.1*2.5/275= 2.7*V2/298

5.25/275= 2.7*V2/298

Cross multiply

275*2.7V2= 298*5.25

742.5V2= 1564.5

V2= 1564.5/742.5

V2= 2.10L

Hence the final volume is 2.10L
