The speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Frequency, f = 11999Hz
Wavelength, λ = 0.03m
Velocity, v = ?
Sound speed in the tube is calculated by multiplying the frequency v by the wavelength λ.
As the sound loudness changed from a maximum to a minimum, then we know the sound interference in the case changed from constructive interference (the two sound waves are in phase, i.e. peaks are in a line with peaks and so the troughs), to a destructive interference (peaks coinciding with troughs). The least distance change required to cause such a change is a half wavelength distance, so:
λ/2 = 0.03/2
λ = 0.06m
We know,
v = λf
v = 0.06 X 11999Hz
v = 719.94m/s
Therefore, the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s
Answer:
v = 10 m/s
Explanation:
Let's assume the wheel does not slip as it accelerates.
Energy theory is more straightforward than kinematics in my opinion.
Work done on the wheel
W = Fd = 45(12) = 540 J
Some is converted to potential energy
PE = mgh = 4(9.8)12sin30 = 235.2 J
As there is no friction mentioned, the remainder is kinetic energy
KE = 540 - 235.2 = 304.8 J
KE = ½mv² + ½Iω²
ω = v/R
KE = ½mv² + ½I(v/R)² = ½(m + I/R²)v²
v = √(2KE / (m + I/R²))
v = √(2(304.8) / (4 + 0.5/0.5²)) = √101.6
v = 10.07968...
