What are shock waves? How are they produced?

Physics
1 answer:
Gemiola [76]3 years ago
7 0

This phenomenon is known as a shock wave. Shock waves are also produced if the aircraft moves faster than the speed of sound. If a moving source of sound moves faster than sound, the source will always be ahead of the waves that it produces.

A tradesman sharpens a knife by pushing it with a constant force against the rim of a grindstone. The 30-cm-diameter stone is sp
Lorico [155]

Answer:

a. 0.21 rad/s2

b. 2.205 N

Explanation:

We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds

200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s

180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s

r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{21 - 18.85}{10} = 0.21 rad/s^2

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

I = mR^2/2

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

I = 28*0.15^2/2 = 0.315 kgm^2

So the friction torque is

T_f = I\alpha = 0.315*0.21 = 0.06615 Nm

The friction force is

F_f = T_f/R = 0.06615 / 0.15 = 0.441 N

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

N = F_f/\mu = 0.441/0.2 = 2.205 N

If two conductors are not touching but are close to each other, a large enough voltage will cause an _________________ to occur
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Electrical breakdown.

Explanation:

When two conductors are relatively close enough, and have a very large voltage between them, it can lead to a Dielectric breakdown. A dielectric breakdown occurs when an insulator is subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. The air between the conductors is the insulator that breaks down, leading to an electrical discharge arc to flow between the two conductors. This electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.

A man attempts to push a 19.8 kg crate across a warehouse floor. He slowly increases the force until the crate starts to move at
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

 μ = 0.18

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second Law, the coordinate system is horizontal and vertical

Before starting to move the box

Y axis

     N-W = 0

     N = W = mg

X axis

     F -fr = 0

     F = fr

The friction force has the formula

     fr = μ N

     fr =  μ m g

At the limit point just before starting the movement

     F = μ m g

     μ = F / m g

calculate

      μ = 34.8 / (19.8 9.8)

    μ = 0.18
