Explain how the absorption of sound waves differs from the transmission of sound waves

Physics
1 answer:
Gnom [1K]3 years ago
4 0

When a sound wave meets an obstacle, some of the sound is reflected back from the front surface and some of the sound passes into the obstacle material, where it is absorbed or transmitted through the material.

Reflection and absorption are dependent on the wavelength of the sound. The percentage of the sound transmitted through an obstacle depends on how much sound is reflected and how much is absorbed. We are assuming that the obstacle is relatively large, such that no sound passes around the edges.

Q11) If you were standing at the top of a building and you dropped a rock.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Part A

The distance travel by the rock is approximately 132.496 m

Part B

The speed when the rock hits the ground is approximately 50.96 m/s

Explanation:

Part A

The question is focused on the kinetics equation of a free falling object

The given parameter is the time it takes the rock to hit the ground, t = 5.2 s

For an object in free fall, we have;

h = 1/2·g·t²

Where;

h = The height from which the object is dropped

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to travel the distance, h = 5.2 s

∴ h = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (5.2 s)² ≈ 132.496 m

The distance travel by the rock, h ≈ 132.496 m

Part B

The speed, 'v', when the rock hits the ground, is given by the following kinematic equation,

v = g·t

∴ v = 9.8 m/s² × 5.2 s = 50.96 m/s

The speed when the rock hits the ground, v ≈ 50.96 m/s.
