Explanation:
The velocity of sound depends on the density of the medium. So we need to find the density of air at each set of conditions. The density of air is:
ρ = (Pd / (Rd T)) + (Pv / (Rv T))
where Pd and Pv are the partial pressures of dry air and water vapor,
Rd and Rv are the specific gas constants of dry air and water vapor,
and T is the absolute temperature.
At the first condition:
Pv = 31.7 mmHg = 4226.3 Pa
Pd = 650 mmHg - 31.7 mmHg = 618.3 mmHg = 82433 Pa
Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K
Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K
T = 30°C = 303.15°C
ρ = (82433 / 287.00 / 303.15) + (4226.3 / 461.52 / 303.15)
ρ = 0.94746 + 0.03021
ρ = 0.97767 kg/m³
At the second condition:
Pv = 0 Pa
Pd = 650 mmHg = 86660 Pa
Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K
Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K
T = 0°C = 273.15°C
ρ = (86660 / 287.00 / 273.15) + (0 / 461.52 / 273.15)
ρ = 1.1054 + 0
ρ = 1.1054 kg/m³
The square of the velocity of sound is proportional to the ratio between pressure and density:
v² = k P / ρ
Since the atmospheric pressure is constant, we can say it's proportional to just the density:
v² = k / ρ
Using the first condition to find the coefficient:
(340)² = k / 0.97767
k = 113018.652
Now finding the velocity of sound at the second condition:
v² = 113018.652 / 1.1054
v = 319.75
30km. 24 the first two hours and 6 the half hour
Answer: make objective observations.
Explanation:
Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.
