The speed of sound in air is a linear function of the air temperature. When the air temperature is 10°C, the speed of sound is 3

37 m/s. When the air temperature is 30°C, the speed of sound is 349 m/s.
Can you please explain the process of writing this function as a linear equation?

The answer is s-337=0.6(t-10), but I don't know how the textbook got this answer.​

Answer:

  process: substitute the given point values into the 2-point form of the equation for a line

Step-by-step explanation:

There are more than a half-dozen different forms of the equation for a line. They are useful for different purposes. One of them is the "two-point form".

Using x as the independent variable, and y as the dependent variable, the equation can be written as ...

  y -y1 = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)/(x -x1)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points.

__

Here, your two points are ...

  (t, s) = (10, 337) and (30, 349)

Using s in place of y, and t in place of x, these two points go into the formula like this:

  s -337 = (349 -337)/(30 -10)(t -10)

Simplifying the fraction, this is ...

  s -337 = (12/20)(t -10)

And writing it as a decimal, we get ...

  s -337 = 0.6(t -10)

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

Adding y1 to both sides of the above form gives you ...

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)/(x -x1) +y1

This is the form I usually prefer to use, because it can lead directly to slope-intercept form. For this problem, the form shown above gets you to the answer you're looking for.

__

This "two-point form" is an expansion of the "point-slope form", which is ...

  y - k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

where the equation for slope is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

and (x1, y1) is used instead of (h, k).

Answer:

The actual linear equation is s= 0.6t + 331 which can be rearranged to make s-337 = 0.6( t-10 ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Any linear equation has the formula y=Mx + c , where x is the independent variable , y is the dependent variable , m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept .

here y is replaced by “s” which stands for speed of sound and x is replaced by “t” which stands for temperature.

To find the slope , we divide gain  of “s” by gain of “t “

i.e. m= \frac{349-337}{30-10}= \frac{12}{20} = 3/5

So the slope of the equation is 3/5 Or 0.6

lets plug s=337 and t= 10 into the equation s= 0.6t+ c

337= \frac{3}{5} (10) + c\\337 = 6 + c\\C= 331\\Hence the equation becomes s= 0.6t+ 331 \\Rearranging the equation , s-331 = 0.6t \\ subtracting 6 from both sides,  s-331-6 = 0.6t-6\\S-337 = 0.6 ( t- 10 )  , which is given in your book.\\\\

The last line is s-337 = 0.6t - 6 = 0.6(t-10 ) , which is given in your book.

Hope it helps

A hollow metal sphere has 6 cm inner and 8cm outer radii. The surface charge densities on the exterior surface is +100 nC/m2 and
natulia [17]

Answer:

<h2>Outer Electric Field is 11250 N/C.</h2><h2>Inner Electric Field is -10000 N/C.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to read carefully and analyse the problem. As you can see, is an electrical subject, and it's given surface charge densities and radius.

So, to calculate electric fields, we need to find the proper equation to do so: E=k\frac{q}{r^{2} }; as you can see, first we need to find the charges.

We can find all charges using the surface charge densities, because it has the next relation: p=\frac{q}{A}; which indicates that charge density is the amount of charge per area. But, there's a problem, we don't have areas, so we have to calculate them first with this relation: S=4\pi r^{2}; which gives us the surface of a sphere.

The inner surface: Si=4\pi (0.06m)^{2} = 0.04 m^{2}

The outer surface: S=4\pi (0.08m)^{2}=0.08m^{2}

Now we can calculate the charges,

Inner charge: Qi=pA=(-100\frac{nC}{m^{2} } )(0.04m^{2} )=-4nC

Outer charge: Qo=pA=100\frac{nC}{m^{2} } )(0.08m^{2} )=8nC

Then, we are able to calculate both fields:

Inner field: Ei=k\frac{Qi}{r^{2} }=9x10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} }\frac{-4x10^{-9} }{0.06m^{2} }=-10000\frac{N}{C}

Outer field:  Eo=k\frac{Qo}{r^{2} }=9x10^{9} \frac{Nm^{2} }{C^{2} }\frac{8x10^{-9} }{0.08m^{2} }=11250\frac{N}{C}

The directions that field have is opposite each other, the inner one has an inside direction, and the outer electric field has an outside direction.
