Answer:

The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.

The distance between a speaker and a listener is 8.0 m. Determine the frequency of the sound wave if exactly 20 waves are formed

dmitriy555 [2]

The frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Wave number, n = 20

Speed of light, v = 340 m/s

Frequency, f = ?

we know:

wave number = $\frac{frequency}{speed of light}$

$20 = \frac{f}{340 m/s} \\\\f = 20 X 340 s^-^1\\\\f = 6800 Hz$

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

A horizontal 953 N merry-go-round of radius 1.68 m is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 73.9 N applied tangent

solniwko [45]

Answer:

K.E=365.2 J

Explanation:

Given data

Weight w =953 N

radius r=1.68 m

F=73.9 N

t=2.55 s

g=9.8 m/s²

To find

Kinetic Energy K.E

Solution

From the moment of inertia

$I=(1/2)MR^{2}\\ as \\W=mg\\So\\I=(1/2)(W/g)R^{2}\\I=(1/2)(953/9.8)(1.68)^{2}\\I=137.232kg.m^{2}$

The angular acceleration is given as

$a=T/I\\a=\frac{FR}{I}\\ a=\frac{(73.9)(1.68)}{137.232}\\a=0.905rad/s^{2}$

The angular velocity is given as

$w=at\\w=(0.905)(2.55)\\w=2.31rad/s$

So the Kinetic Energy is given as

$K.E=(1/2)Iw^{2}\\ K.E=(1/2)(137.232)(2.31)^{2}\\ K.E=365.2J$

How do you do this problem?

kvasek [131]

Explanation:

First, find the velocity of the projectile needed to reach a height h when fired straight up.

Given:

Δy = h

v = 0

a = -g

Find: v₀

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0)² = v₀² + 2(-g)(h)

v₀ = √(2gh)

Now find the height reached if the projectile is launched at a 45° angle.

Given:

v₀ = √(2gh) sin 45° = √(2gh) / √2 = √(gh)

v = 0

a = -g

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0)² = √(gh)² + 2(-g)Δy

2gΔy = gh

Δy = h/2
