What is the relationship between the density of a substance and the speed of sound through that substance?

Physics
1 answer:
xxMikexx [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:The greater the density of a medium, the slower the speed of sound. This observation is analogous to the fact that the frequency of a simple harmonic motion is inversely proportional to m, the mass of the oscillating object. The speed of sound in air is low, because air is easily compressible.

An offshore oil well is 2 kilometers off the coast. The refinery is 4 kilometers down the coast. Laying pipe in the ocean is twi
shusha [124]

Answer:

Rectangular path

Solution:

As per the question:

Length, a = 4 km

Height, h = 2 km

In order to minimize the cost let us denote the side of the square bottom be 'a'

Thus the area of the bottom of the square, A = a^{2}

Let the height of the bin be 'h'

Therefore the total area, A_{t} = 4ah

The cost is:

C = 2sh

Volume of the box, V = a^{2}h = 4^{2}\times 2 = 128            (1)

Total cost, C_{t} = 2a^{2} + 2ah            (2)

From eqn (1):

h = \frac{128}{a^{2}}

Using the above value in eqn (1):

C(a) = 2a^{2} + 2a\frac{128}{a^{2}} = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

C(a) = 2a^{2} + \frac{256}{a}

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t 'a':

C'(a) = 4a - \frac{256}{a^{2}} = \frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}}

For the required solution equating the above eqn to zero:

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

\frac{4a^{3} - 256}{a^{2}} = 0

a = 4

Also

h = \frac{128}{4^{2}} = 8

The path in order to minimize the cost must be a rectangle.

If a board with an area of 3m2 has a 12 N force exerted on it, what is the pressure on the board?
Cerrena [4.2K]
4 N/cm^2 is the answer. the way you get this is the formula for pressure is P=F/A. So you would plug in the numbers which would make the equation P=12/3 which you know equals 4. The units for pressure is N/cm^2 or N/m^2

I hope this helps

A −4.00 μC charge sits in static equilibrium in the center of a conducting spherical shell that has an inner radius 3.13 cm and
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

(a). The charge on the outer surface is −2.43 μC.

(b). The charge on the inner surface is 4.00 μC.

(c). The electric field outside the shell is 3.39\times10^{7}\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge q₁ = -4.00 μC

Inner radius = 3.13 m

Outer radius = 4.13 cm

Net charge q₂ = -6.43 μC

We need to calculate the charge on the outer surface

Using formula of charge

q_{out}=q_{2}-q_{1}

q_{out}=-6.43-(-4.00)

q_{out}=-2.43\ \mu C

The charge on the inner surface is q.

q+(-2.43)=-6.43

q=-6.43+2.43= 4.00\ \mu C

We need to calculate the electric field outside the shell

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times6.43\times10^{-6}}{(4.13\times10^{-2})^2}

E=33927618.73\ N/C

E=3.39\times10^{7}\ N/C

Hence, (a). The charge on the outer surface is −2.43 μC.

(b). The charge on the inner surface is 4.00 μC.

(c). The electric field outside the shell is 3.39\times10^{7}\ N/C
