(a) If two sound waves, one in a gas medium and one in a liquid medium, are equal in intensity, what is the ratio of the pressur

e amplitude of the wave in the liquid to that of the wave in the gas? Assume that the density of the gas is 2.27 kg/m3 and the density of the liquid is 972 kg/m3. The speed of sound is 376 m/s in the gas medium and 1640 m/s in the liquid. (b) If the pressure amplitudes are equal instead, what is the ratio of the intensities of the waves (of the one in the liquid to that in the gas)?

Answer:

(a) The ratio of the pressure amplitude of the waves is 43.21

(b) The ratio of the intensities of the waves is 0.000535

Explanation:

Given;

density of gas, \rho _g = 2.27 kg/m³

density of liquid, \rho _l = 972 kg/m³

speed of sound in gas, C_g = 376 m/s

speed of sound in liquid, C_l = 1640 m/s

The of the sound wave is given by;

I = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho C} \\\\P_o^2 = 2 \rho C I\\\\p_o = \sqrt{2 \rho CI}

Where;

P_o is the pressure amplitude

P_o_g= \sqrt{2 \rho _g C_gI} -------(1)\\\\P_o_l= \sqrt{2 \rho _l C_lI}---------(2)\\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \frac{\sqrt{2 \rho _l C_lI}}{\sqrt{2 \rho _g C_gI}} \\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \rho _l C_lI}{2 \rho _g C_gI} }\\\\ \frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{ \rho _l C_l}{ \rho _g C_g} }\\\\ \frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{ (972)( 1640)}{ (2.27)( 376)} }\\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = 43.21

(b) when the pressure amplitudes are equal, the ratio of the intensities is given as;

I = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho C}\\\\I_g = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _g C_g}-------(1)\\\\I_l = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _l C_l}-------(2)\\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = (\frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _l C_l})*(\frac{2\rho_gC_g}{P_o^2} )\\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = \frac{\rho _gC_g}{\rho_lC_l} \\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = \frac{(2.27)(376)}{(972)(1640)}\\\\ \frac{I_l}{I_g} = 0.000535

siniylev [52]

Answer:

K=58.8N/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass M=0.442

Drop distance d=0.150

Generally the equation for Spring Constant is mathematically given by

 K=\frac{2mg}{x}

 K=\frac{2*0.442*9.8}{1.150}

 K=58.8N/m

Is 40 mph possible to run?
Bogdan [553]

NO

The likelihood of reaching 40 miles per hour is very slim. Several factors are related to how quickly somebody can run, which is why only one person has ever run 28 miles per hour.Catch a sprinter smashing a speed record and they look like they could keep up with a car chase. 40 MPH: The fastest speed humans can run. The current fastest human in the world is Usain Bolt, who can run at nearly 28 miles per hour.Steve in Davis, Calif. So far, the fastest anyone has run is about 27½ miles per hour, a speed reached (briefly) by sprinter Usain Bolt just after the midpoint of his world-record 100-meter dash in 2009.

The earth tilt about 23 degrees which leads to the formation of seasons on earth.

<h3>At what degree the earth tilt?</h3>

This is tilted at 23 degrees from the vertical. The northern hemisphere is in the winter season.

This is the path as the earth revolves around the sun. It takes 1 year to complete this path.

This is the path as the earth rotates around its.

So we can conclude that the earth tilt about 23 degrees which leads to the formation of seasons on earth.
