of 30°C and a pressure of 101 kPa. Find the density change, the temperature change, and the velocity change across this wave

Answer:

Density change, Δρ = 2.4 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m³

Temperature Change, ΔT = 0.0258 K

Velocity Change, Δc = 0.0148 m/s

Explanation:

For sound waves moving through the air,

Pressure and Temperature varies thus

(P₀/P) = (T₀/T)^(k/(k-1))

Where P₀ = initial pressure of air = 101KPa = 101000 Pa

P = final pressure of air due to the change brought about by the moving sound wave = 101000+30 = 101030 Pa

T₀ = initial temperature of air = 30°C = 303.15 K

T = final temperature of air = ?

k = ratio of specific heats = Cp/Cv = 1.4

(101000/101030) = (303.15/T)^(1.4/(1.4-1))

0.9990703 =(303.15/T)^(3.5)

Solving This,

T = 303.1758 K

ΔT = T - T₀ = 303.1758 - 303.15 = 0.0258 K

Density can be calculate in two ways,

First method

Δρ = ρ - ρ₀

P₀ = ρ₀RT₀

ρ₀ = P₀/RT₀

R = gas constant for air = 287 J/kg.k

where all of these are values for air before the wave propagates

P₀ = 101000 Pa, R = 287 J/kg.K, T₀ = 303.15K

ρ₀ = 101000/(287 × 303.15) = 1.1608655 kg/m³

ρ = P/RT

P = 101030 Pa, T = 303.1758K

ρ = 101030/(287×303.1758) = 1.1611115 kg/m³

Δρ = ρ - ρ₀ = 1.1611115 - 1.1608655 = 0.00024 kg/m³ = 2.4 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m³

Second method

(ρ₀/ρ) = (T₀/T)^(1/(k-1))

Where ρ₀ is initially calculated from ρ₀ = P₀/RT₀, then ρ is then computed and the diff taken.

Velocity Change

c₀ = √(kRT₀) = √(1.4 × 287 × 303.15) = 349.00669 m/s

c = √(kRT) = √(1.4 × 287 × 303.1758) = 349.0215415 m/s

Δc = c₀ - c = 349.0215415 - 349.00669 = 0.0148 m/s

What happens to a current when the electric field in the wire increase
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

If the voltage is increased then the electric field is higher, and electron velocity (average) is proportional to this field. Then you have an increase in speed. And current is total charge passing per time unit, so current is proportional to velocity value of charge (and to voltage in resistors and wire).
