Having established that a sound wave corresponds to pressure fluctuations in the medium, what can you conclude about the directi

DaniilM [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

the pressure fluctuation is LONGITUDINAL

Explanation:

Sound waves are an oscillating movement of air particles, this can be analyzed in two different, but equivalent ways, as an air oscillation and with a pressure wave due to these oscillations.

The expression for the wave is

        ΔP = Δo sin (kx - wt)

Therefore, the pressure variation is in the same direction as the displacement variation, consequently the pressure fluctuation is LONGITUDINAL

An insulated rigid tank initially contains 1.4-kg saturated liquid water and water vapor at 200°C. At this state, 25 percent of
Elan Coil [88]

Solution:

Mass of liquid water and water vapor in the insulated tank initially = 1.4 kg

Temperature = 200 °C

And 25% of the volume by liquid water is steam.

State 1

$m=\frac{V}{v}$

$m=m_f+m_g$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{v_f}+\frac{0.75V}{v_g}$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{1.1565 \times 10^{-3}}+\frac{0.75V}{0.1274}$       (taking the value of $v_g$ and $v_g$ at 200°C  )

$V=6.304 \times 10^{-3}$

Now quality of vapor

$x=\frac{m_g}{m}$

  $=3.377 \times 10^{-3}$

Internal energy at state 1 can be found out by

$u_1=u_f+xu_{fg}$

    $=850.65+3.377\times10^{-3}\times 1744.65$

    = 856.54 kJ/kg

After heating with the resistor for 20 minutes, at state 2, the tank contains saturated water vapor $v_2=v_g \text { and }\ x=1$

Tank is rigid, so volume of tank is constant.

$v_g=v_2=\frac{V}{m}$

$v_g=\frac{6.304\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}$

$v_g=4.502 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3 /kg$

Now interpolate the value to get temperature at state 2 with specific volume value to get final temperature

$T_2=360+(374.14-360)\left(\frac{0.004502-0.006945}{0.003155-0.006945}\right)$

   = 369.11° C

Internal energy at state 2

$u_2=2154.9 \ kJ/kg$

Now power rating of the resistor

$P=\frac{m(u_2-u_1)}{t}$

$P=\frac{1.4(2154.9-856.54)}{20 \times 60}$

  = 1.51 kW

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.1 m/s. How long does h
balandron [24]
We need to use the kinematic equation
S=ut+(1/2)at^2
where
S=displacement (+=up, in metres)
u=initial velocity (m/s)
t=time (seconds)
a=acceleration (+=up, in m/s^2)

Substitute values
S=displacement = 1.96-2.27 = -0.31 m (so that shot does not hit his head)
u=11.1
a=-9.81 (acceleration due to gravity)

-0.31=11.1t+(1/2)(-9.81)t^2
Rearrange and solve for t
-4.905t^2+11.1t-0.31=0
t=-0.02756 or t=2.291 seconds 
Reject the negative root to give
t=2.29 seconds (to 3 significant figures)
