How does the speed of a sound wave change as the medium through which it traveks changes?

1 answer:

8 0

Increase as density increase and vise versa.
The wavelength increases when a sound wave travels from a less dense to a more dense medium, the speed increases, and the frequency stays the same.

Consider the following four objects: a hoop, a solid sphere, a flat disk, a hollow sphere. Each of the objects has mass M and ra

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Hoop.

Explanation:

The angular acceleration performed at a given torque:

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

The moments of inertia of each element are described below:

Hoop

$I = M\cdot R^{2}$

Solid sphere

$I = \frac{2}{5}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}$

Flat disk

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}$

Hollow sphere

$I = \frac{2}{3}\cdot M \cdot R^{2}$

The greater the moment of inertia, the greater the torque to obtain the same angular acceleration. Therefore, the hoop requires the largest torque to receive the same angular acceleration.

The charge per unit length on a long, straight filament is -92.0 μC/m. Find the electric field 10.0 cm above the filament.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

E = 1.655 x 10⁷ N/C towards the filament

Explanation:

Electric field due to a line charge is given by the expression

E = $[tex]\frac{\lambda}{2\pi\times\epsilon_0\times r}$ [/tex]

where λ is linear charge density of line charge , r is distance of given point from line charge and ε₀ is a constant called permittivity and whose value is

8.85 x 10⁻¹².

Putting the given values in the equation given above

E = $\frac{92\times10^{-6}}{2\times3.14\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times10^{-1}}$

E = 1.655 x 10⁷ N/C

An aluminum bar 600mm long, with diameter 40mm, has a hole drilled in the center of the bar. The hole is 40mm in diameter and 10

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1.228 x $10^{-6}$ mm

Explanation:

diameter of aluminium bar D = 40 mm

diameter of hole d = 30 mm

compressive Load F = 180 kN = 180 x $10^{3}$ N

modulus of elasticity E = 85 GN/m^2 = 85 x $10^{9}$ Pa

length of bar L = 600 mm

length of hole = 100 mm

true length of bar = 600 - 100 = 500 mm

area of the bar A = $\frac{\pi D^{2} }{4}$ = $\frac{3.142* 40^{2} }{4}$ = 1256.8 mm^2

area of hole a = $\frac{\pi(D^{2} - d^{2}) }{4}$ = $\frac{3.142*(40^{2} - 30^{2})}{4}$ = 549.85 mm^2

Total contraction of the bar = $\frac{F*L}{AE} + \frac{Fl}{aE}$

total contraction = $\frac{F}{E} * (\frac{L}{A} +\frac{l}{a})$

==> $\frac{180*10^{3}}{85*10^{9}} *( \frac{500}{1256.8} + \frac{100}{549.85})$ = 1.228 x $10^{-6}$ mm

What type of reaction feels cold to the touch? A. Endothermic, because energy is being released into the surroundings B. Endothe

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

D. Exothermic, because energy is being absorbed from the surroundings

Explanation:

This is true about the Exothemic reaction due to the fact that, the reaction occurs outside the body. During this reaction, the energy being absorbed from the surrounding environment will hit the body surface thereby creating the coldness due to the heat given out from the body being minimal.
