how did we discover how to brake the sound barior and why did we not go as fast as the speed of light

Physics

quester [9]3 years ago

The problem of the "sound barrier" has to do with moving through
air, and the things the air does when you try to push it out of the
way faster than the speed of sound.  Moving through air faster
than sound was an engineering and technological problem, not
a scientific one.

Concerning light, that's about 874 thousand times faster.

Design an experimental set up to show that white light is made up of different colours of light​
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.

This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.

You can comfortably hold your fingers close beside a candle flame, but not very close above the flame. why? challenge (optional)
Inessa05 [86]
The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.

A wire of length 5mm and Diameter 2m extends by 0.25 when a force of 50N was use. calculate the
bazaltina [42]

Answer and Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Force = 50N

Length = 5mm

diameter = 2.0m = 2\times 10^{-3}

Extended by = 0.25mm = 0.25\times 10^{-3}

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows

a. The Stress of the wire is

= \frac{force\ applied}{area\ of \ circle}

here area of circle = perpendicular to the are i.e cross-sectional  i.e

= \frac{\pi d^{2}}{4}

= \frac{\pi(2\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}

Now place these above values to the above formula

= \frac{4\times 50}{\pi\times 4 \times 10^{-6}} \\\\ = \frac{50}{\pi}

= 15.92 MPa

As 1Pa = 1 by N m^2

So,

MPa = 10^6 N m^2

b. Now the strain of the wire is

= \frac{Change\ in\ length}{initial\ length} \\\\ = \frac{0.25\times 10^{-3}}{5}

= 5 \times 10^{-5}
