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.

An ice-skater is moving at a constant velocity across an icy pond, The skater throws a snowball directly ahead.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

(D) It is equal to the original velocity of the skater.

Explanation:

The velocity of the center of mass of a system is

\vec{v}_{cm} = \frac{m1\vec{v}_1 + m_2\vec{v}_2}{m_1 + m_2}

The velocity of the center of mass is constant if there is no external force, because the total momentum of the whole system is conserved.

So, before the snowball is thrown, the velocity of the center of mass is equal to that of the skater. This velocity will always be equal to the velocity of the center of mass of the system.
