While talking to a friend, a construction worker momentarily set her cell phone down on one end of an iron rail of length 7.50 m

. At that moment, a second worker dropped a wrench so that it hit the other end of the rail. The person on the phone detected two pulses of sound, one that traveled through the air and a longitudinal wave that traveled through the rail. (Assume the speed of sound in iron is 5,950 m/s and the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s).
A) Which pulse reaches the cell phone first?
B) Find the separation in time (in s) between the arrivals of the two pulses.

Answer:

A)

The impulse that reaches the cell phone first is the Longitudinal wave

B)  0.0206  seconds

Explanation:

length of Iron rail = 7.5 m

speed of sound in Iron = 5950 m/s

speed of sound in Air = 343 m/s

A) Determine which pulse reaches the cell phone first

The impulse that reaches the cell phone first is the Longitudinal wave

 Time for longitudinal pulse to be detected =  7.5 / 5950 = 0.00126 s

  Time for pulse through air to be detected = 7.5 / 343 = 0.02186  s

B) separation in time between the arrivals of the two pulses

   ΔT = 0.02186 - 0.00126  = 0.0206  seconds

The speed of the star is 255 km/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion. Mathematically:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the star in this problem, we have:

m=3.38\cdot 10^{31} kg is the mass

KE=1.10\cdot 10^{42} J is the kinetic energy

Therefore, the speed of the star is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.10\cdot 10^{42})}{3.38\cdot 10^{31}}}=2.55\cdot 10^5 m/s

Which corresponds to 255 km/s
