Answer:

Temperature is also a condition that affects the speed of sound. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

A. 2.2*10^-2m

Explanation:

Using

Area = length x L/ uo xN²

So A = 0.7m * 25 x 10^-3H /( 4π x10^-7*

3000²)

A = 17.5*10^-3/ 1.13*10^-5

= 15.5*10^-2m²

Area= π r ²

15.5E-2/3.142 = r²

2.2*10^2m

A mass-spring system has k = 56.8 N/m and m = 0.46 kg.

andriy [413]

Answer:

A. $\omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}$

B. $f=1.7685\ Hz$

C. $T=0.5654\ s$

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant, $k=56.8\ N.m^{-1}$

mass attached, $m=0.46\ kg$

for a spring-mass system the frequency is given as:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{56.8}{0.46}}$

$\omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}$

frequency is given as:

$f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}$

$f=\frac{11.1121}{2\pi}$

$f=1.7685\ Hz$

Time period of a simple harmonic motion is given as:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

$T=0.5654\ s$

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need 2 different equations for this problem: first the velocity of sound equation, then the frequency of the sound equation.

The velocity of sound is found in:

v = 331.5 + .606T

We need to find that first in order to fill it into the frequency equation which is

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$ where v is the velocity we will find the part a, f is frequency and lambda is the wavelength. Starting with the velocity of the sound:

v = 331.5 + .606(25) and

v = 331.5 + 15 and rounding correctly using the rules for sig fig when adding:

v = 347 m/s

Filling that into the frequency equation:

$75=\frac{347}{\lambda}$ and

$\lambda=\frac{347}{75}$ so

$\lambda=4.6m$

Answer:

I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.

Explanation:

Since time dilates in moving objects, we use the formula t = t₀/√(1 - β²) where t = time in space vehicle, t₀ = time on earth = 9 hours and β = v/c where v = speed of space vehicle = 0.8c.

So, t = t₀/√(1 - β²)

t = 9/√(1 - (v/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8c/c)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.8)²)

= 9/√(1 - (0.64)

= 9/√0.36

= 9/0.6

= 15 hr

So, according to a timer on the space vehicle, I should be active for 15 hours to meet the physical activity requirement.
