Oop i have no clue but i need to answer questions so that i can ask some :)
Explanation:
The velocity of sound depends on the density of the medium. So we need to find the density of air at each set of conditions. The density of air is:
ρ = (Pd / (Rd T)) + (Pv / (Rv T))
where Pd and Pv are the partial pressures of dry air and water vapor,
Rd and Rv are the specific gas constants of dry air and water vapor,
and T is the absolute temperature.
At the first condition:
Pv = 31.7 mmHg = 4226.3 Pa
Pd = 650 mmHg - 31.7 mmHg = 618.3 mmHg = 82433 Pa
Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K
Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K
T = 30°C = 303.15°C
ρ = (82433 / 287.00 / 303.15) + (4226.3 / 461.52 / 303.15)
ρ = 0.94746 + 0.03021
ρ = 0.97767 kg/m³
At the second condition:
Pv = 0 Pa
Pd = 650 mmHg = 86660 Pa
Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K
Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K
T = 0°C = 273.15°C
ρ = (86660 / 287.00 / 273.15) + (0 / 461.52 / 273.15)
ρ = 1.1054 + 0
ρ = 1.1054 kg/m³
The square of the velocity of sound is proportional to the ratio between pressure and density:
v² = k P / ρ
Since the atmospheric pressure is constant, we can say it's proportional to just the density:
v² = k / ρ
Using the first condition to find the coefficient:
(340)² = k / 0.97767
k = 113018.652
Now finding the velocity of sound at the second condition:
v² = 113018.652 / 1.1054
v = 319.75
If Equal distance is traveled in equal interval of time then it is known as uniform motion in which velocity of object will remain same.
Then if distance covered will be same and the time taken to cover same distance is decreasing then it shows that speed is increasing with time due to which it took less time to cover same distance. This is also known as positive acceleration.
Now if the distance covered will be same and time taken to cover same distance is increasing then it shows that speed is decreasing with time due to which it took more time to cover the same distance. This is also known as negative acceleration.
Now in the above case it is given that the first mile takes you 10 minutes. The second mile takes you 20 minutes. So the time taken is increasing while we cover same distance so this is an example of <u>Negative Acceleration</u>
