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

 <span>Place a test charge in the middle. It is 2cm away from each charge. 
The electric field E= F/Q where F is the force at the point and Q is the charge causing the force in this point. 
The test charge will have zero net force on it. The left 30uC charge will push it to the right and the right 30uC charge will push it to the left. The left and right force will equal each other and cancel each other out. 
THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION. 
THe electric field exactly midway between them = 0/Q = 0. 
But if the point moves even slightly you need the following formula 
F= (1/4Piε)(Q1Q2/D^2) 
Assume your test charge is positive and make sure you remember two positive charges repel, two unlike charges attract. Draw the forces on the test charge out as vectors and find the magnetude of the force, then divide by the total charge to to find the electric field strength:)</span>
