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

Physics
1 answer:
xxMikexx [17]2 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.

A wire has a cross sectional area of 4.00 mm2 and is stretched by 0.100 mm by a certain force. How far will a wire of the same m
Nina [5.8K]

Answer: 0.05\ mm

Explanation:

Given

Cross-sectional area of wire A_1=4\ mm^2

Extension of wire \delta l=0.1\ mm

Extension in a wire is given by

\Rightarrow \delta l=\dfrac{FL}{AE}

where, E=\text{Youngs modulus}

\Rightarrow \delta_1=\dfrac{FL}{A_1E}\quad \ldots(i)

for same force, length and material

\Rightarrow \delta_2=\dfrac{FL}{A_2E}\quad \ldots(ii)

Divide (i) and (ii)

\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.1}{\delta_2}=\dfrac{A_2}{A_1}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.1\times \dfrac{4}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.05\ mm

Suppose a car of mass m is moving at a constant speed v of
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The angle of banked curve that makes the reliance on friction unnecessary is

\arcsin(v^2/(gR))

Explanation:

In order the car to stay on the curve without friction, the net force in the direction of radius should be equal or smaller than the centripetal force. Otherwise the car could slide off the curve.

The only force in the direction of radius is the sine component of the weight of the car

w_r = mg\sin(\theta)

The cosine component is equivalent to the normal force, which we will not be using since friction is unnecessary.

Newton’s Second Law states that

F_{net} = ma = mg\sin(\theta)\\\sin(\theta) = a/g

Also, the car is making a circular motion:

a = \frac{v^2}{R}

Combining the equations:

\sin(\theta) = \frac{a}{g} = \frac{v^2/R}{g} = \frac{v^2}{gR}

Finally the angle is

\arcsin(v^2/(gR))
