7. A sound wave begins traveling through a thin metal rod at one end with a speed that is 15 times the speed of sound in air. If

an observer at the other end of the rod hears the sound twice, one from the sound traveling through the rod and one from the sound traveling through the air, with a time delay of 0.12 s, how long is the rod? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

Answer:

   L = 44,096 m

Explanation:

The speed of the sound wave is constant therefore we can use the relations of uniform kinematics

             v = x / t

the speed of the wave in the bar is

            v = 15 v or

            v = 15 343

             v = 5145 m / s

The sound at the bar goes the distance

             L = v t

Sound in the air travels the same distance

             L = v_air (t + 0.12)

as the two recognize the same dissonance,

             v t = v_air (t +0.12)

             t (v- v_air) = 0.12 v_air

              t = 0.12 v_air / (v -v_air)

l

et's calculate

             t = 0.12 343 / (5145 - 343)

             t = 8.57 10-3 s

The length of the bar is

              L = 5145 8.57 10-3

              L = 44,096 m

Answer:

v = 23.66 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motion may be expressed:

v² = u² + 2as,

Where

v = final velocity (we are asked to find this)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s since we are told that it starts from rest

a = acceleration = 0.56m/s²

s = distance traveled = given as 500m

Simply substitute the known values into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2(0.56)(500)

v² = 560

v = √560

v = 23.66 m/s

A 65.0-Ω resistor is connected to the terminals of a battery whose emf is 12.0 V and whose internal resistance is 0.5 Ω. Calcula
Luda [366]

Answer:

a) 0.1832 A

b) 11.91 Volts

c) 2.18 Watt , 0.0168 Watt

Explanation:

(a)

R = external resistor connected to the terminals of the battery = 65 Ω

E = Emf of the battery = 12.0 Volts

r = internal resistance of the battery = 0.5 Ω

i = current flowing in the circuit

Using ohm's law

E = i (R + r)

12 = i (65 + 0.5)

i = 0.1832 A

(b)

Terminal voltage is given as

V_{ab} = i R

V_{ab} = (0.1832) (65)

V_{ab} = 11.91 Volts

(c)

Power dissipated in the resister R is given as

P_{R} = i²R

P_{R} = (0.1832)²(65)

P_{R} = 2.18 Watt

Power dissipated in the internal resistance is given as

P_{r} = i²r

P_{r} = (0.1832)²(0.5)

P_{r} = 0.0168 Watt

Why are bathroom tiles usually rough
Aleks04 [339]
-- Bathroom tiles are usually cool, so water condenses on them
when you take a hot bath or shower in the room. 

-- The natural result is that a smooth tile would become slippery,
exactly when you're walking around with wet feet and nothing on them ...
a dangerous situation.

-- In order to circumvent this safety hazard, the tiles in the bathroom
should be rough, especially on the floor.

A ball is connected to a light spring suspended vertically. When pulled downward from its equilibrium position and released, the
babunello [35]

Answer:

The forms of energy involved are

1. Kinetic energy

2. Potential energy

Explanation:

The system consists of a ball initially at rest. The ball is pulled down from its equilibrium position (this builds up its potential energy) and then released. The released ball oscillates due to a continuous transition between kinetic and potential energy.
