How are longitudinal and transverse waves different?

Physics
1 answer:
Natalija [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave. On the other hand, a transverse wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is at a right angle to the wave direction.

A pressure sensor inside of a mixing tank is designed to turn red when the pressure inside the tank exceeds 1.9 kPa. If the sens
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

19 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Pressure (P) = 1.9 kPa

Length (L) = 10 cm

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall convert 1.9 KPa to N/m². This can be obtained as follow:

1 KPa = 1000 N/m²

Therefore,

1.9 KPa = 1.9 KPa × 1000 N/m² / 1 KPa

1.9 KPa = 1900 N/m²

Thus, 1.9 KPa is equivalent to 1900 N/m².

Next, we shall convert 10 cm to m. This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

10 cm = 10 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

10 cm = 0.1 m

Thus, 10 cm is equivalent to 0.1 m

Next, we shall determine the area of the square. This can be obtained as follow:

Length (L) = 0.1 m

Area of square (A) =?

A = L²

A = 0.1²

A = 0.01 m²

Thus, the area of the square is 0.01 m².

Finally, we shall determine the force that must be exerted on the sensor in order for it to turn red. This can be obtained as follow:

Pressure (P) = 1900 N/m²

Area (A) = 0.01 m²

Force (F) =?

P = F/A

1900 = F / 0.01

Cross multiply

F = 1900 × 0.01

F = 19 N

Therefore, a force of 19 N must be exerted on the sensor in order for it to turn red.

Speakers A and B are vibrating in phase. They are directly facing each other, are 8.2 m apart, and are each playing a 78.0 Hz to
Stels [109]

Answer:6.298,4.1,1.9015

Explanation:

Wavelength=\frac{velocity of sound }{frequency}

=\frac{343}{78}=4.397 m

Distance of 3rd speaker from speaker A is x

From B 78-x

Difference between the distances must be a whole number of wavelengths

First

x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=4.397    for 1 st wavelength

2x=8.2+4.397=12.597

x=6.298m

second

For zero wavelength

x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=0

2x=8.2

x=4.1m

Third

\left ( 8.2-x\right )-x=4.397

x=1.9015 m

Consider a transformer. used to recharge rechargeable flashlight batteries, that has 500 turns in its primary coil, 3 turns in i
Rashid [163]

Answer:

<em>a) 0.72 V</em>

<em>b) 19.2 mA</em>

<em>c) 2.304 Watts</em>

Explanation:

A transformer is used to step-up or step-down voltage and current. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction. When the primary coil is greater than the secondary coil, the it is a step-down transformer, and when the primary coil is less than the secondary coil, the it is a step-up transformer.

number of primary turns = N_{p} = 500 turns

input voltage = V_{p} = 120 V

number of secondary turns = N_{s} = 3 turns

output voltage = V_{s} = ?

using the equation for a transformer

\frac{V_{s} }{V_{p} }  = \frac{N_{s} }{N_{p} }

substituting values, we have

\frac{V_{s} }{120 }  = \frac{3 }{500} }

500V_{p}  = 120*3\\500V_{p} = 360

V_{p} = 360/500 =<em> 0.72 V</em>

<em></em>

b) by law of energy conservation,

I_{P}V_{p} = I_{s}V_{s}

where

I_{p} = input current = ?

I_{s} = output voltage = 3.2 A

V_{s} = output voltage = 0.72 V

V_{p} = input voltage = 120 V

substituting values, we have

120I_{p} = 3.2 x 0.72

120I_{p} = 2.304

I_{p}  = 2.304/120 = 0.0192 A

= <em>19.2 mA</em>

<em></em>

c) power input = I_{p} V_{p}

==> 0.0192 x 120 = <em>2.304 Watts</em>
