A sound wave traveling at 340 m/s is generated by a 480 Hz tuning fork.

Physics
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Wavelength = 0.7083 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed of wave = 340 m/s

Frequency = 480 Hz

To find how long is the sound wave, we would determine its wavelength;

Mathematically, the wavelength of a waveform is given by the formula;

Wavelength = velocity/frequency

Wavelength = 340/480

Wavelength = 0.7083 meters

A record is dropped vertically onto a freely rotating (undriven) turntable. Frictional forces act to bring the record and turnta
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The loss of initial Kinetic energy = 37.88 %

Explanation:

Given:

Rotational inertia of the turntable = I_t

Rotational inertia (I_r) of the record = 0.61\times I_t

According to the question:

<em>Frictional forces act to bring the record and turntable to a common angular speed.</em>

So,angular momentum will be conserved as it is an inelastic collision.

Considering the initial and final angular velocity of the turn table as  \omega _i\  ,\  \omega_f respectively.

Note :

Angular momentum (L) = Product of moment of inertia  (I)  and angular velocity (\omega) .  

Lets say,

⇒ initial angular momentum = final angular momentum

⇒  L_i=L_f

⇒ (I_t)\times \omega_i = (I_t+I_r)\times \omega_f

⇒ \omega _f=\frac{I_t}{I_t+I_r} \times (\omega_i) ...equation (i)

Now we will find the ratio of the Kinetic energies.

⇒ K_i=\frac{I_t\times \omega_i^2}{2}       ⇒ K_f=\frac{(I_r+I_t)\times \omega_f^2}{2}

Their ratios:

⇒ \frac{K_f}{K_i} =\frac{\frac{(I_t+I_r)\times \omega_f^2}{2} }{\frac{I_t\times \omega_i^2}{2} }    

⇒ \frac{K_f}{K_i} = {\frac{(I_t+I_r)\times \omega_f^2}{2} } \times {\frac{2}{I_t\times \omega_i^2}}

Plugging the values of  \omega _f^2 as \omega _f^2 =(\frac{I_t}{I_t+I_r} \times \omega_i\ )^2 from equation (i) in the ratios of the Kinetic energies.

⇒ \frac{K_f}{K_i} =\frac{(I_t+I_r)\times \frac{(I_t)^2}{(I_t+I_r)^2} \times \omega_i^2}{I_t\times \omega_i^2} =\frac{(I_t)^2}{(I_t+I_r)}\times \frac{1}{I_t}=\frac{I_t}{I_t+I_r}

Now,

The Kinetic energy lost in fraction can be written as:

⇒ \frac{K_f-K_i}{K_i}

Now re-arranging the terms.

\frac{K_f-K_i}{K_i}  =(\frac{K_f}{K_i} -1)= \frac{I_t}{I_t+I_r} -1=\frac{I_t-I_t-I_r}{I_t+I_r} =\frac{-I_r}{(I_t+I_r)}

Plugging the values of  I_r and I_t .

⇒ \frac{K_f}{K_i} = \frac{-0.61I_t}{0.61I_t+I_t} =\frac{-0.61}{1.61} =-0.3788

To find the percentage we have to multiply it with 100 and here negative means for loss of Kinetic energy.

⇒ \frac{K_f}{K_i} = =-0.3788\times 100= 37.88

So the percentage of the initial Kinetic energy lost is 37.88

A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a softball to her friends in the water below. She th
aliina [53]

Answer:

58.5 m

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total time the ball takes to reach the water. This can be done by looking at the vertical motion only.

The initial vertical velocity of the ball is

u_y = u sin \theta

where

u = 21.5 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=33.5^{\circ} is the angle

Substituting,

u_y = (21.5) sin 33.5^{\circ} =11.9 m/s

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

y = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 13.5 m is the initial heigth

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative sign because it points downward)

The ball reaches the water when y = 0, so

0 = h + u_yt +\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\0 = 13.5 +11.9 t - 4.9t^2

Which gives two solutions: t = 3.27 s and t = -0.84 s. We discard the negative solution since it is meaningless.

The horizontal velocity of the ball is

u_y = u cos \theta = (21.5) cos 33.5^{\circ} =17.9 m/s

And since the motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as follows:

d= u_x t = (17.9)(3.27)=58.5 m

1. How is a whistling teapot like a volcano?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Because of the build up of pressure. There is so much steam coming from such a compressed point, it’s coming out in force.

Now think of that same spot being closed, it only has one place to go but it can’t leave, so that pressure will build and build and then BOOM, it explodes.

In short, the answer is the pressure being released from a small point, and how that energy is released.
