Differentiate between:a. Compression and Rarefaction​

Physics
1 answer:
zlopas [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Compression

The region in a medium where the distance between the vibrating molecules is minimum is compression.

This is the region with higher air pressure than the surrounding .

Rarefaction

The region in a medium where the distance between the vibrating molecules is maximum is rarefaction.

This is the region with relatively low air pressure.

hope it helps :)

A plane electromagnetic wave traveling in the positive direction of an x axis in vacuum has components Ex = Ey = 0 and Ez = (4.3
Ivan

Answer:

B_{m}=1.4333*10^{-8}T

Explanation:

Given data

Ex = Ey = 0

Ez=(4.3V/m)cos(π×10¹⁵s⁻¹)(t-x/c)

To find

The amplitude of the magnetic field component

Solution

The electric field is given by:

Ez=(4.3V/m)cos(π×10¹⁵s⁻¹)(t-x/c)

Where Em=4.3 V/m

The magnitude of magnetic field is given by:

B_{m}=\frac{E_{m}}{c}

Where Em is amplitude of electric field and c is speed of light.

Substitute the given values

So

B_{m}=\frac{4.3V/m}{3.0*10^{8}m/s }\\B_{m}=1.4333*10^{-8}T

A 1200-kg car initially at rest undergoes constant acceleration for 9.4 s, reaching a speed of 11 m/s. It then collides with a s
Natalka [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy and the definition of kinematic energy as half the product between mass and squared velocity. So,

KE_i = KE_f

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Here,

m = Mass

V = Velocity

Replacing,

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (12000)(11)^2

KE_f = 72600J

Therefore the  final kinetic energy of the two car system is 72.6kJ

A uniform rod is 2. 0 m long and has mass 15 kg. What is most nearly the rod's mass moment of inertia?
trapecia [35]

The rod's mass moment of inertia is 5kgm².

<h3>Moment of Inertia:</h3>

The "sum of the product of mass" of each particle with the "square of its distance from the axis of rotation" is the formula for the moment of inertia.

The Parallel axis Theorem can be used to compute the moment of inertia about the end of the rod directly or to derive it from the center of mass expression. I = kg m². We can use the equation for I of a cylinder around its end if the thickness is not insignificant.

If we look at the rod we can assume that it is uniform. Therefore the linear density will remain constant and we have;

or = M / L = dm / dl

dm = (M / L) dl

I =  \int\limits^M_0 {r^2} \, dm

I = \int\limits^\frac{L}{2} _\frac{-L}{2}  {I^2 (M/L)} \, dl

Here the variable of the integration is the length (dl). The limits have changed from M to the required fraction of L.

I = \int\limits^\frac{L}{2} _\frac{-L}{2}  {I^2 (M/L)} \, dl

I = \frac{M}3L}[(\frac{L^3}{2^3}   - \frac{-L^3}{2^3} )]\\\\I = \frac{1}{12}ML^2

Mass of the rod = 15 kg

Length of the rod = 2.0 m

Moment of Inertia, I = \frac{1}{12}15 (2)^2

                               = 5 kgm²

Therefore, the moment of inertia is 5kgm².
