Through which medium will sound have slowest speed? Group of answer choices

Vinvika [58]

Answer: Air

Explanation: Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Air and hydrogen have nearly the same elastic properties, but the density of hydrogen is less than that of air. Sound thus travels faster (about 4 times as fast) in hydrogen than in air.

A radar station detects an airplane approaching directly from the east. At first observation, the range to the plane is 375.0 m

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

819.78 m

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

OA = range of initial position of the airplane from the point of observation = 375 m
OB = range of the final position of the airplane from the point of observation = 797 m
$\theta$ = angle of the initial position vector from the observation point = $43^\circ$
$\alpha$ = angle of the final position vector from the observation point = $123^\circ$
$\vec{AB}$ = displacement vector from initial position to the final position

A diagram has been attached with the solution in order to clearly show the position of the plane.

$\vec{OA} = OA\cos \theta \hat{i}+OA \sin \theta \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = 375\ m\cos 43^\circ \hat{i}+375\ m\sin 43^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = (274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\vec{OB} = OB\cos \alpha \hat{i}+OB \sin \alpha \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = 797\ m\cos 123^\circ \hat{i}+797\ m\sin 123^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m$

Displacement vector of the airplane will be the shortest line joining the initial position of the airplane to the final position of the airplane which is given by:

$\vec{AB}=\vec{OB}-\vec{OA}\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} = (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m-(274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} = (-708.34\ \hat{i}+412.67\ \hat{j})\ m$

The magnitude of the displacement vector = $\sqrt{(-708.34)^2+(412.67)^2}\ m = 819.78\ m$

Hence, the magnitude of the displacement of the plane is 819.67 m during the period of observation.
