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

1 answer:

3 0

<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>

A thin spherical shell has a radius of 0.70 m. An applied torque of 860 N m gives the shell an angular acceleration of 4.70 rad/

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

$I=182.97\ kg-m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a spherical shell, r = 0.7 m

Torque acting on the shell, $\tau=860\ N$

Angular acceleration of the shell, $\alpha =4.7\ m/s^2$

We need to find the rotational inertia of the shell about the axis of rotation. The relation between the torque and the angular acceleration is given by :

$\tau=I\alpha$

I is the rotational inertia of the shell

$I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha }\\\\I=\dfrac{860}{4.7}\\\\I=182.97\ kg-m^2$

So, the rotational inertia of the shell is $182.97\ kg-m^2$ .

A 1640 kg merry-go-round with a radius of 7.50 m accelerates from rest to a rate of 1.00 revolution per 8.00 s. Estimate the mer

son4ous [18]

Solution :

Given data :

Mass of the merry-go-round, m= 1640 kg

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 7.50 m

Angular speed, $\omega = \frac{1}{8}$ rev/sec

$=\frac{2 \pi \times 7.5}{8}$ rad/sec

= 5.89 rad/sec

Therefore, force required,

$F=m.\omega^2.r$

$$$=1640 \times (5.89)^2 \times 7.5$

= 427126.9 N

Thus, the net work done for the acceleration is given by :

W = F x r

= 427126.9 x 7.5

= 3,203,451.75 J

What is the coldest place on earth

exis [7]

The continent of Antartica is located at the bottom of the world. the South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on earth. It is covered with ice up to 3 miles thick. Very few plants and animals can survive here, but penguins, fish, and seals live on the coast and in the seas. No people live on Antarctica permanently, but scientists and tourists visit.
