Two children use a homemade "telephone" consisting of two paper cups attached by an aluminum wire which is 8.4 m long. Determine

the time for the "sound" to travel from one cup to the other. How does this compare with the time for sound to travel the same distance through air? (speed of sound in aluminum is 5100 m/s, in air is 343 m/s)

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance over wire of aluminium d = 8.4 m

velocity of sound in aluminium = 5100 m /s

time required = distance / velocity

= 8.4 / 5100 s

= .001647 s

velocity of sound in air = 343 m /s

time required = distance / velocity

= 8.4 / 343 s

= .024489 s

Difference of time

= .024489 - .001647

= .022842 s

= 22.842 ms .

In which of the fire plume structure zones do the gases accelerate upward?
I am Lyosha [343]
The zone that gases always accelerate upward is the Luminous flame zone. The fire plume is the column of hot gases, flames and smoke rising above a fire. Gases accelerate upward toward the always luminous flame zone. The luminous flame height is the distance between the base of a flame and the point at which the plume is luminous half the time and transparent half the time.

Explain what characterises a sound as noise or music​
natta225 [31]

Explanation:

Noise is sound with a continuous structure. Music is composed of sounds with a fundamental frequency and overtones. Noise is composed of sounds with frequencies that range continuously in value from as low as you can hear to as high as you can hear — not necessarily at equal intensity, however.

A 150 kg boy and his bike are traveling 12 m/s when he slams on his breaks and stop at his friend’s house. How much impulse is r
Nataly [62]

Answer:

J = 1800 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy, m = 150 kg

Initial velocity of a boy, u = 12 m/s

Finally, it stops, v = 0

We need to find the impulse is required to produce this change in momentum. We know that impulse is equal to the change in momentum. So,

J=m(v-u)\\\\=150\times (0-12)\\\\=-1800\ kg-m/s\\\\|J|=1800\ kg-m/s

So, the impulse is equal to 1800 kg-m/s
