What is the difference between sound waves and water waves

1 answer:

8 0

Sound waves are three dimensional they spread out in all directions from the source of the sound.
and water waves are essentially two dimensional i.e., on the surface of water.

(a) 0.0021 s, 2926.5 rad/s

The frequency of the B note is

$f= 466 Hz$

The time taken to make one complete cycle is equal to the period of the wave, which is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{466 Hz}=0.0021 s$

The angular frequency instead is given by

$\omega = 2\pi f$

And substituting

f = 466 Hz

We find

$\omega = 2\pi (466 Hz)=2926.5 rad/s$

(b) 20 Hz, 125.6 rad/s

In this case, the period of the sound wave is

T = 50.0 ms = 0.050 s

So the frequency is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.050 s}=20 Hz$

While the angular frequency is given by:

$\omega = 2\pi f = 2 \pi (20 Hz)=125.6 rad/s$

(c) $4.30\cdot 10^{14} Hz, 7.48\cdot 1^{14} Hz, 2.33\cdot 10^{-15} s, 1.34\cdot 10^{-15}s$

The minimum angular frequency of the light wave is

$\omega_1 = 2.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s$

so the corresponding frequency is

$f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{2.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s}{2\pi}=4.30\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

and the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{4.30\cdot 10^{14}Hz}=2.33\cdot 10^{-15}s$

The maximum angular frequency of the light wave is

$\omega_2 = 4.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s$

so the corresponding frequency is

$f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{4.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s}{2\pi}=7.48\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

and the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.48\cdot 10^{14}Hz}=1.34\cdot 10^{-15}s$

(d) $2.0\cdot 10^{-7}s, 3.14\cdot 10^{7} rad/s$

In this case, the frequency is

$f=5.0 MHz = 5.0 \cdot 10^6 Hz$

So the period in this case is

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{5.0\cdot 10^6 Hz}=2.0 \cdot 10^{-7} s$

While the angular frequency is given by

$\omega = 2\pi f=2 \pi (5.0\cdot 10^{6}Hz)=3.14\cdot 10^{7} rad/s$

Gwar [14]

Answer:

- 670 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that to every action, there is equal and opposite reaction force. Since the force will be same but different in direction and acted in the same time then the impulses ( force multiply by time) of the two car be same in magnitude but different in direction - 670 kg.m/s

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

50 N.

Explanation:

On top of a horizontal surface, the normal force acting on an object is equivalent to the force of gravity acting on the object. That is:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} F_N = F_g & = ma \\ & = mg\end{aligned}$
