Answer:

A. The waves in the water travel faster and at a higher frequency than they travel on land.

Explanation:

The main reason why human ears can hear dolphins' vocalizations while under the water but cannot hear them well on land is because water is denser than air and air particles travel faster in denser particles.

Denser particles also ensures that the frequency of the waves move faster which in turn produces a faster and louder result.

A student performing a double-slit experiment is using a green laser with a wavelength of 550 nm. She is confused when the m = 5

sweet [91]

Answer:

d = 52 μm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light source (λ)= 550 nm

distance to form interference pattern(D) = 1.5 m

y = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

width of the slits = ?

now, using displacement formula

$y = \dfrac{m\lambda\ D}{d}$

for the first maxima, m = 1

$d = \dfrac{1\times \lambda\ D}{y}$

$d = \dfrac{1\times 550 \times 10^{-9}\times 1.5}{0.016}$

d = 5.2 x 10⁻⁶ m

d = 52 μm

hence, the width of her slits is equal to d = 52 μm

An 850-lb force is applied to a 0.15-in. diameter nickel wire having a yield strength of 45,000 psi and a tensile strength of 55

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

a)Yes will deform plastically

b) Will NOT experience necking

Explanation:

Given:

- Applied Force F = 850 lb

- Diameter of wire D = 0.15 in

- Yield Strength Y=45,000 psi

- Ultimate Tensile strength U = 55,000 psi

Find:

a) Whether there will be plastic deformation

b) Whether there will be necking.

Solution:

Assuming a constant Force F, the stress in the wire will be:

stress = F / Area

Area = pi*D^2 / 4

Area = pi*0.15^2 / 4 = 0.0176715 in^2

stress = 850 / 0.0176715

stress = 48,100.16 psi

Yield Strength < Applied stress > Ultimate Tensile strength

45,000 < 48,100 < 55,000

Hence, stress applied is greater than Yield strength beyond which the wire will deform plasticly but insufficient enough to reach UTS responsible for the necking to initiate. Hence, wire deforms plastically but does not experience necking.
