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

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

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

Is gravity a non-contact form?

sattari [20]

No, we cannot touch gravity nor can we physically see it. We can only see how it works.

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, $V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V$

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, $V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V$

Now,

Drift velocity, $v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}$

$v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s$

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

$E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta$ (1)

And

$E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d$

Thus eqn (1) becomes

$V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta$

where

d = distance

$B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}$ (2)

(a) When $\theta = 90^{\circ}$

$B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T$

(b) When $\theta = 60^{\circ}$

$B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T$

A stone is dropped from the top of a tower. What is its velocity after 3.0 seconds?

kap26 [50]

For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth.

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet. That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.

3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s.

That's the vertical component of its velocity. The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.
