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

Physics

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

What are the characteristics of high energy waves?
sladkih [1.3K]
<span>The relationship between wavelength, frequency and energy of Electromagnetic Radiation is given by E = hf = hc/lamba -------(1) So from (1) there's a linear relationship between E and f. The higher the frequency, f, the higher the energy E. Also from (1) it is obvious that the lower the wavelength, lambda, the higher the energy, E. This means the answer is D.</span>

A man stands by a train track to watch the train car go by. Inside, a man walks through the train car eating a hot dog (the hot
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

D) 11 m/s

Explanation:

The problem asks us to calculate the velocity of the hot dog with respect to the observer stationary outside the train. This velocity is given by:

v=v_t + v_m + v_h

where

v_t=+10 m/s is the velocity of the train (towards right)

v_m=+2 m/s is the velocity of the man (towards right)

v_h=-1 m/s is the velocity of the hot-dog (towards left, so we put a negative sign)

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

v=+10 m/s+2 m/s-1 m/s=+11 m/s

and the positive sign means the velocity is toward right.

The function h(t) = –16t2 + 96t + 6 represents an object projected into the air from a cannon. The maximum height reached by the
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Since h(t) represents the height and t represents the time, we can set the equation equal to 150 to find t.

-16t^2+96t+6=150

Subtract 150 from both sides to set the equation equal to 0, to find the solutions.

-16t^2+96t-144=0

Factor out -16, because all of the terms are divisible by it.

-16(t^2+6t+9)=0

Now we can focus on the terms inside the parenthesis and factor it again.

t^2-6t+9=0

We need to find two value that can be multiplied to get 9 and added to get -6.

-3 and -3 works.

Thus, we get (x-3)(x-3).

Now solve for 0.

x-3=0

x=3

The object reaches its maximum height after 3 seconds.
