How dose the speed of the sound differ in water, iron, and Helium?

Physics
1 answer:
stepladder [879]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

             air       water      iron        helium

v(m/s)   280     2200      17780     39682

Explanation:

The speed of a wave depends on the physical properties of the medium where it travels, in the case of a longitudinal wave such as sound, it depends on the resistance to deformation (volume modulus and the density of the medium

         v = \sqrt{ \frac{B}{ \rho } }

in the mentioned materials they are constant  

             air       water      iron        helium

B           1 10⁵    2.2 10⁹    140 10⁹   0.05 10⁹

ρ           1.28     997        7874       1.26

v(m/s)   280     2200      17780     39682

The velocity of a body is given by the equation v= a + bx, where 'x' is displacement. The unit of b is .......
valina [46]

Answer:

s^ -1    ( or    1/sec)

Explanation:

Velocity is given in units of displacement / sec

like feet /sec   or   m/sec    

so b would have units of   s^-1

(or perhaps a more general term would be   time^-1)

A powerful searchlight shines on a man. The man's cross-sectional area is 0.500m2 perpendicular to the light beam, and the inten
babymother [125]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵N

(b) the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.

Explanation:

Given;

cross-sectional area of the man, A = 0.500m²

intensity of light, I = 35.5kW/m²

If all the incident light were absorbed, the pressure of the incident light on the man can be calculated as follows;

P = I/c

where;

P is the pressure of the incident light

I is the intensity of the incident light

c is the speed of light

P = \frac{I}{c} =\frac{35500}{3*10^8} = 1.18*10^{-4} \ N/m^2

F = PA

where;

F is the force of the incident light on the man

P is the pressure of the incident light on the man

A is the cross-sectional area of the man

F = 1.18 x 10⁻⁴ x 0.5 = 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N

The magnitude of the force the light beam exerts on the man is 5.9 x 10⁻⁵ N

Therefore, the force the light beam exerts is much too small to be felt by the man.

What would happen if both the radius and mass of a planet were cut in half
Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

According to formula

g = GM/R^2

when mass is halved the value of g becomes half but when radius is halved the value of g increases 4 times.

As a result of both value of g becomes twice.
