Justify why sound waves need a medium to propagate with example??

1 answer:

Lana71 [14]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

Sound needs a material medium for their propagation like solid, liquid or gas to travel because the molecules of solid, liquid and gases carry sound waves from one point to another. Sound cannot progress through the vacuum because the vacuum has no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound waves.

Two lightbulbs both operate on 120V . One has a power of 25W and the other 100W. (ii) Which lightbulb carries more current? Choo

Vikki [24]

The lightbulb that carries more current will be the 25W bulb.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

It should be noted that an electric current simply means the stream of charged particles that move through an electrical conductor or space.

In this case, it should be noted that the power is the same for both bulbs. Therefore, the 25W bulb will have the higher resistance so that it will have lower power.

Therefore, the lightbulb that carries more current will be the 25W bulb.

calculate the diameter of a silver wire of length 75cm , which is extended by 1.85mm when a 10kg mass is suspended from it's end

sdas [7]

Answer: $0.8\ mm$

Explanation:

Given

length of wire $l=75\ cm$

change in length $\Delta l=1.85\ mm$

mass of wire $m=10\ kg$

Young's modulus for silver $E=7.9\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2$

load on wire $F=mg$

$F=10\times 9.8=98\ kg$

change in length is given by

$\Delta l=\dfrac{Pl}{AE}$

Where A=area of cross-section

$A=\dfrac{Pl}{\Delta lE}$

$A=\dfrac{98\times 0.75}{1.85\times 10^{-3}\times 7.9\times 10^{10}}$

$A=\dfrac{73.5}{14.615\times 10^{7}}$

$A=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

also wire is the shape of cylinder so cross-section is given by

$A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

$\Rightarrow d^2=\dfrac{5.029\times 10^{-7}\times 4}{\pi }$

$\Rightarrow d^2=64.02\times 10^{-8}$

$\Rightarrow d=8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

$\Rightarrow d=0.8\ mm$

un tanque de gasolina de 40 litros fue llenado por la noche, cuando la temperatura era de 68 grados farenheit. Al dia siguiente

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Volume of gasoline that expands and spills out is 1.33 ltr

Explanation:

As we know that when temperature of the liquid is increased then its volume will expand and it is given as

$\Delta V = V_o\gamma \Delta T$

here we know that

$V_o = 40 Ltr$

volume expansion coefficient of the gasoline is given as

$\gamma = 950 × 10^{–6}$

change in temperature is given as

$\Delta T = (131 - 68) \times \frac{5}{9}$

$\Delta T = 35 ^oC$

Now we have

$\Delta V = 40(950 \times 10^{-6})(35)$

$\Delta V = 1.33 Ltr$
