A hammer strikes one end of a thick iron rail of length 8.80 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two

pulses of sound, one that travels through the air and a longitudinal wave that travels through the rail. (The speeds of sound in air and in iron are 343 m/s and 5950 m/s, respectively.)
Required:
Find the separation in time between the arrivals of the two pulses.

Answer:

ΔT = 0.02412 s

Explanation:

We will simply calculate the time for both the waves to travel through rail distance.

FOR THE TRAVELING THROUGH RAIL:

T_{rail} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Rail}\\\\T_{rail} = \frac{8.8\ m}{5950\ m/s}\\\\T_{rail} = 0.00148\ s

FOR THE WAVE TRAVELING THROUGH AIR:

T_{air} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Air}\\\\T_{air} = \frac{8.8\ m}{343\ m/s}\\\\T_{air} = 0.0256\ s

The separation in time between two pulses can now be given as follows:

\Delta T = T_{air}-T_{rail} \\\Delta T = 0.0256\ s - 0.00148\ s\\

<u>ΔT = 0.02412 s</u>

A dense metal sphere is dropped from a 10-meter tower, and at the exact same time an identical metal sphere is thrown horizontal
givi [52]

Answer:

A. Both spheres land at the same time.

Explanation:

The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion.  Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:D) His Facial expressions when they spend time together

 

Explanation:

Eva's should carefully observe the normal verbal signs by her lover because facial expression gives the hint to listener or viewer that one is interested towards other.

Some common facial Expression are

  • Smiling Eyes:While smiling is, of course, an important expression when we speak, attempting to keep a constant  smile could make you look more like a trained sociopath than a happy, enthusiastic presenter. These enables other person to feel the good vibes out of you and left a positive impact of your presence.
  • Nod on: It is important to express interest in the feedback of your audience. No one likes an identity-centered snob. One way to show that you're actually engaged in the comments and questions they pose is by nodding while you're listening. Moving your head a little wider will help to express your attention as well.

A small steel roulette ball rolls around the inside of a 30 cm diameter roulette wheel. It is spun at 150 rpm, but is slows to 6
liraira [26]

Solution :

Given

Diameter of the roulette ball = 30 cm

The speed ball spun at the beginning = 150 rpm

The speed of the ball during a period of 5 seconds = 60 rpm

Therefore, change of speed in 5 seconds = 150 - 60

                                                                      = 90 rpm

Therefore,

90 revolutions in 1 minute

or In 1 minute the ball revolves 90 times

i.e. 1 min = 90 rev

     60 sec = 90 rev

        1 sec = 90/ 60 rec

         5 sec = $\frac{90}{60}\times 5$

                   = 75 rev

Therefore, the ball made 75 revolutions during the 5 seconds.
