All sound waves need a(n) _______________________________________ to travel through. 4. _____________________ and ______________

_____ can be used to describe a sound wave.
Physics
1 answer:
Paha777 [63]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Material medium

compressions and rarefactions

Explanation:

A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. All mechanical waves require a material medium for propagation. The medium for the propagation of sound is air. This is the reason why, if you cover your mouth, it will be difficult for another person to hear whatever you are saying.

Sound is also a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves are described in terms of compressions and rarefactions. Compressions refer to areas where air molecules crowd together while rarefactions refer to areas where the air molecules spread out.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

362.41 km/h

Explanation:

F = Force

m = Mass = 84 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

C = Drag coefficient = 0.8

ρ = Density of air = 1.21 kg/m³

A = Surface area = 0.04 m²

v = Terminal velocity

F = ma

F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow mg=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\frac{mg}{\rho CA}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\frac{20\times 9.81}{1.21\times 0.8\times 0.04}}\\\Rightarrow v=100.66924\ m/s

Converting to km/h

100.66924\times 3.6=362.41\ km/h

The terminal velocity of the stone is 362.41 km/h

A 4.25 kg block is sent up a ramp inclined at an angle theta=37.5° from the horizontal. It is given an initial velocity ????0=15
wel

Answer:

d = 11.79 m

Explanation:

Known data

m=4.25 kg  : mass of the block

θ =37.5°  :angle θ of the ramp with respect to the horizontal direction

μk= 0.460  : coefficient of kinetic friction

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the block on the ramp and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

Forces acting on the block

W: Weight of the block : In vertical direction

N : Normal force : perpendicular to the ramp

f : Friction force: parallel to the ramp

Calculated of the W

W= m*g

W=  4.25 kg* 9.8 m/s² = 41.65 N

x-y weight components

Wx= Wsin θ= 41.65*sin 37.5° = 25.35 N

Wy= Wcos θ =41.65*cos 37.5° =33.04 N

Calculated of the N

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    ay = 0

N - Wy = 0

N = Wy

N = 33.04 N

Calculated of the f

f = μk* N= 0.460*33.04

f = 15.2 N

We apply the formula (1) to calculated acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*ax  ,  ax= a  : acceleration of the block

-Wx-f = m*a

 -25.35-15.2 = (4.25)*a

-40.55 =  (4.25)*a

a = (-40.55)/ (4.25)

a = -9.54 m/s²

Kinematics of the block

Because the block moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula to calculate the final speed of the block :

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (2)

Where:  

d:displacement  (m)

v₀: initial speed  (m/s)

vf: final speed   (m/s)

Data:

v₀ = 15 m/s

vf = 0

a = -9.54 m/s²

We replace data in the formula (2)  to calculate the distance along the ramp the block reaches before stopping (d)

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d

0 = (15)²+2*(-9.54)*d

2*(9.54)*d =   (15)²

(19.08)*d = 225

d = 225 / (19.08)

d = 11.79 m

Two drums of the same size and same height are taken.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

i) The pressure acting on the base of <em>B</em> will be half the pressure acting on the base of <em>A</em>

ii) The pressure acting on the base of <em>B</em> will be the same as the pressure acting on the base of <em>A</em>

iii) The pressure on the base of drum <em>A</em> will be slightly less than the pressure on the base of drum <em>B</em>

Explanation:

The pressure acting on the base of the drum, P = h·ρ·g

Where;

h = The level of the liquid in the drum

h_{max} = The height of the drums

ρ = The density of the liquid in the drum

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

i) If <em>A</em> is completely filled, we have h_A = h_{max}

Therefore, P_A = h_{max}×\rho_{liquid}×g

If <em>B</em> is half filled, we have, h_B =  (1/2)·h_{max}

P_B = (1/2) × h_{max}×\rho_{liquid}×g

Therefore, P_B = (1/2) × P_A

The pressure acting on the base of <em>B</em> will be half the pressure acting on the base of <em>A</em>

ii) If both <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are each filled with water (the same liquid), then the pressure on their bases will be P_A = h_{max}×\rho_{water}×g = P_B, the same, given that the acceleration due to gravity, <em>g</em>, is constant and the same in Nepal and India

iii) If <em>A</em> is filled with water, and <em>B</em> is filled with salty water, we have that, the density of salty water is slightly higher than water, therefore, we get;

P_A = h_{max}×\rho_{water}×g <  P_B =

The pressure on the base of drum <em>A</em> will be less than the pressure on the base of drum <em>B.</em>
