How do I find the speed of sound when given Frequency and displacement?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: Taking into account sound is a wave, we can use the information of the displacement (generally given as a graph) to find the wavelength and frequency, then we can calculate the speed with the formula of the speed of a wave.

Explanation:

If we have the displacement graph of the sound wave, we can find its amplitude, its wavelength and period (which is the inverse of frequency).

Now, if we additionally have the frequency as data, we can use the equation of the speed of a wave:

$s=\lambda f$

Where:

$s$ is the speed of the sound wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$f$ is the frequency

Answer:

a) x = 0.098

b) x = 2.72 m

Explanation:

(a) To find the stretch of the fire net when the same person is lying in it, you can assume that the net is like a spring with constant spring k. It is necessary to find k.

When the person is falling down he acquires a kinetic energy K, this energy is equal to the elastic potential energy of the net when it is max stretched.

Then, you have:

$K=U\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ (1)
