The Answer is B : The water particles become locked in place.
Sound waves actually travel much faster in water than air, but words and the direction of the noise are distorted.
Answer:
a) vB = 10.77 ft/s
b) W = 11.30 lb*ft
Explanation:
a) W = 8 lb ⇒ m = W/g = 8 lb/32.2 ft/s² = 0.2484 slug
vA <em>lin</em> = 5 ft/s
rA = 2 ft
v <em>rad</em> = 4 ft/s
vB = ?
rB = 1 ft
W = ?
We can apply The law of conservation of angular momentum
L<em>in</em> = L<em>fin</em>
m*vA*rA = m*vB*rB ⇒ vB = vA*rA / rB
⇒ vB = (5 ft/s)*(2 ft) / (1 ft) = 10 ft/s (tangential speed)
then we get
vB = √(vB tang² + vB rad²) ⇒ vB = √((10 ft/s)² + (4 ft/s)²)
⇒ vB = 10.77 ft/s
b) W = ΔK = K<em>B</em> - K<em>A</em> = 0.5*m*vB² - 0.5*m*vA²
⇒ W = 0.5*m*(vB² - vA²) = 0.5*0.2484 slug*((10.77 ft/s)²-(5 ft/s)²)
⇒ W = 11.30 lb*ft
