What is the speed of sound in air at 50°F (in ft/s)?

Physics

6 0

Answer:

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

Explanation:

Speed of sound in air with temperature

v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{T}{273.15}} \\

Here speed is in m/s and T is in celcius scale.

T = 50°F

T=(50-32)\times \frac{5}{9}=10^0C \\

Substituting

v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{10}{273.15}}=337.31m/s \\

Now we need to convert m/s in to ft/s.

1 m = 3.28 ft

Substituting

v_{air}=337.31\times 3.28=1106.38ft/s \\

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

To what potential should you charge a 3.0 μf capacitor to store 1.0 j of energy?
Nimfa-mama [501]
The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:
U= \frac{1}{2}CV^2
where
U is the energy
C is the capacitance
V is the potential difference

The capacitor in this problem has capacitance
C=3.0 \mu F = 3.0 \cdot 10^{-6} F
So if we re-arrange the previous equation, we can calculate the potential V that should be applied to the capacitor to store U=1.0 J of energy on it:
V= \sqrt{ \frac{2U}{C} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 1.0 J}{3.0 \cdot 10^{-6}F} }=816 V

There are devices to put in a light socket that control the current through a lightbulb, thereby increasing its lifetime. Which
Dmitrij [34]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Limiting the maximum current through the bulb. This will help in preserving or improving the bulb's lifetime and also this won't have an effect on the brightness of the bulb as brightness is affected by the average value. Although brightness is a factor of current, reducing the maximum current won't have any bearing on the average current the bulb is getting.

Which of the following is an example of kinetic mechanical energy?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Kinetic energy must be moving. Potential energy has the ability to move but is not doing so at the moment.

A is likely the answer. But there's lots involved in that kind of motion.

B If the ball is elevated, it implies it is not moving yet. It has potential energy.

C Again, the spring is compressed. It will push something when it moves, but it is not moving yet.

D The load gun's bullet is not moving. It's still potential energy.

E. The mouse trap is set, but it is not moving. When the mouse eats the bait then it's potential energy will transform into kinetic energy.
