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

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.
pav-90 [236]
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of.  These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.

The Earth has mass ME and average radius RE. The Moon has mass MM and the average distance from the center of mass of the moon t
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Moment of inertia of Earth about its own axis is given as

I = 9.7 \times 10^{37} kg m^2

Explanation:

Since Earth is considered as solid sphere

So we will have

I = \frac{2}{5}M_eR_e^2

so we will have

I = \frac{2}{5}(5.97 \times 10^{24})(6.371 \times 10^6)^2

so we have

I = 9.7 \times 10^{37} kg m^2
