Which statement describes the reason for the change in the velocity of waves as temperature decreases?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

O The particles of the medium move more slowly and there are fewer chances to transfer energy.

Explanation:

Various media are made up of particles. These particles are in constant motion according to the kinetic theory of matter. Recall that temperature has been defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a medium. Hence, for any given medium, the velocity of particle motion increases or decreases linearly with temperature.

The speed of particles in any medium increases or decreases as the temperature of the medium increases or decreases as emphasised above. Hence, at low temperature, the velocity of waves set up by the motion of particles in a medium decreases and transfer the wave energy to neighbouring particles occurs more slowly than at high temperatures.

A drag racing car with a weight of 1600 lbf attains a speed of 270 mph in a quarter-mile race. Immediately after passing the tim
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

15.065ft

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider the aerodynamic concepts related to the Drag Force.

By definition the drag force is expressed as:

F_D = -\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A

Where

\rho is the density of the flow

V = Velocity

C_d= Drag coefficient

A = Area

For a Car is defined the drag coefficient as 0.3, while the density of air in normal conditions is 1.21kg/m^3

For second Newton's Law the Force is also defined as,

F=ma=m\frac{dV}{dt}

Equating both equations we have:

m\frac{dV}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A

m(dV)=-\frac{1}{2}\rho C_d A (dt)

\frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)=-\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)

Integrating

\int \frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)= - \int\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)

-\frac{1}{V}\big|^{V_f}_{V_i}=\frac{1}{2m}(\rho)C_d (\pi r^2) \Delta t

Here,

V_f = 60mph = 26.82m/s

V_i = 120.7m/s

m= 1600lbf = 725.747Kg

\rho = 1.21 kg/m^3

C_d = 0.3

\Delta t=7s

Replacing:

\frac{-1}{26.82}+\frac{1}{120.7} = \frac{1}{2(725.747)}(1.21)(0.3)(\pi r^2) (7)

-0.029 = -5.4997r^2

r = 2.2963m

d= r*2 = 4.592m \approx 15.065ft
