(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

The vector position of an object is given by r what is the torque acting on the object about the origin when a force f = (−12.5i
attashe74 [19]
Let the vector position of the object in the (x-y) plane be 
\vec{r} = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j}

The applied force is
\vec{f} = -12.5 \hat{i}


By definition, the applied torque is
\vec{T} = \vec{r} \times \vec{f} = (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}) \times (-12.5y \hat{i}) = 12.5\hat{k}

Answer: 12.5y \, \hat{k}

Sam is recklessly driving 60 mph in a 30 mph speed zone when he suddenly sees the police. he steps on the brakes and slows to 30
barxatty [35]
For this problem, we use the derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. The equations used for this problem are:

a = (v - v₀)/t
2ax = v² - v₀²
where
a is the acceleration
x is the distance
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity
t is the time

The solution is as follows;

a = (60mph - 30 mph)/(3 s * 1 h/3600 s)
a = 36,000 mph²

2(36,000 mph²)(x) = 60² - 30²
Solving for x,
x = 0.0375 miles

According to Newton’s first law of motion, when will an object at rest begin to move?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Newton's first law of motion says something like "An object remains
in constant, uniform motion until acted on by an external force".

Constant uniform motion means no change in speed or direction.
If an object changes from rest to motion, that's definitely a change
of speed.  So it doesn't remain in the state of constant uniform
motion (none) that it had when it was at rest, and that tells us
that an external force must have acted on it.

A 71 kW radio station broadcasts its signal uniformly in all directions. - What is the average intensity of its signal at a dist
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy of signal being radiated per second on all sides = 71 x 10³ J .

At a distance of 220 m it is spread over an area of 4 π x (220)² because it is spreading uniformly on all sides.

So energy crossing per unit area

= \frac{71\times10^3}{4 \times \pi\times(220)^2}

= 11.67 x 10⁻² Wm⁻²s⁻¹.

This is the intensity of the signal.

At 2200 m this intensity will further reduce by 100 times

So there it becomes equal to

11.67 x 10⁻⁴ Wm⁻² s⁻¹.
