Sound travels faster through rigid material like steel rather than through spongy materials like rubber. Why?

Physics

<span>since sound travels using mechanical waves and needs a material medium to propagate and since mechanical waves spread through vibrations ...and since hard materials have their atoms packed closely....they need to vibrate with a smaller amplitude to pass on the wave....thus sound travels faster in a denser medium than a less dense one.</span>

At a depth of 1030 m in Lake Baikal (a fresh water lake in Siberia), the pressure has increased by 100 atmospheres (to about 107
dangina [55]

Answer:

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

Explanation:

The bulk modulus is represented by the following differential equation:

K = - V\cdot \frac{dP}{dV}

Where:

K - Bulk module, measured in pascals.

V - Sample volume, measured in cubic meters.

P - Local pressure, measured in pascals.

Now, let suppose that bulk remains constant, so that differential equation can be reduced into a first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation with separable variables:

-\frac{K \,dV}{V} = dP

This resultant expression is solved by definite integration and algebraic handling:

-K\int\limits^{V_{f}}_{V_{o}} {\frac{dV}{V} } = \int\limits^{P_{f}}_{P_{o}}\, dP

-K\cdot \ln \left |\frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} \right| = P_{f} - P_{o}

\ln \left| \frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} \right| = \frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K}

\frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} = e^{\frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K} }

The final volume is predicted by:

V_{f} = V_{o}\cdot e^{\frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K} }

If V_{o} = 1\,m^{3}, P_{o} - P_{f} = -10132500\,Pa and K = 2.3\times 10^{9}\,Pa, then:

V_{f} = (1\,m^{3}) \cdot e^{\frac{-10.1325\times 10^{6}\,Pa}{2.3 \times 10^{9}\,Pa} }

V_{f} \approx 0.996\,m^{3}

Change in volume due to increasure on pressure is:

\Delta V = V_{o} - V_{f}

\Delta V = 1\,m^{3} - 0.996\,m^{3}

\Delta V = 0.004\,m^{3}

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

exis [7]
The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.
