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.

Wittaler [7]

When she reaches the top, she has more potential energy than she had at the bottom.

         Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

                                     = (40 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)

                                     =    1,960 more joules .

         Power = (energy) / (time)

                     = (1,960 joules) / (7 seconds)

                     =         280 watts

                    (about 0.375 horsepower)

A boat is traveling with a velocity of 18 meters/second relative to water and the river is flowing at a velocity of 2.5 meters/s
ddd [48]
Vt = Vboat - Vriver 
Vt = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 m/s 

If the boat's direction is the same as the water, you sum the velocities of the river and the boat .
