6. Why does sound travel faster through a steel bar than through a swimming pool filled with water?

I understand that sound travels faster in water then in air. Water is a liquid, and air is gas.

Water still has the ability to roll the molecules over each other (so water can flow), it has some flexibility.

But I do not understand how a solid that is inflexible can make sound waves travel faster then in a flexible liquid.

In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air.

Sound waves travel over four times faster in water than it would in air.

The magnetic field at the centre of a toroid is 2.2-mT. If the toroid carries a current of 9.6 A and has 6.000 turns, what is th

Answer:

Radius, r = 0.00523 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, $B=2\ mT=2.2\times 10^{-3}\ T$

Current in the toroid, I = 9.6 A

Number of turns, N = 6

We need to find the radius of the toroid. The magnetic field at the center of the toroid is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{2\pi r}$

$r=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{2\pi B}$

$r=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 6\times 9.6}{2.2\pi \times 2\times 10^{-3}}$

r = 0.00523 m

or

$r=5.23\times 10^{-3}\ m$

So, the radius of the toroid is 0.00523 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A baseball pitcher throws a ball at 97.0 mi/h in the horizontal direction. How far does the ball fall vertically by the time it

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 mile=5280 ft

1 hour=3600 seconds

Changing speed from mi/h to ft/s

$97 mi/h \times \frac {5280}{3600}=142.2666667 ft/s\approx 142.27 ft/s$

Time of flight, $t=\frac {distance}{speed}=\frac {60.5}{142.27}=0.425257732 s\approx 0.425 s$

From fundamental kinematics equations

$h=0.5gt^{2}$ where g is acceleration due to gravity whose value is taken as 32.2 ft/s2 and h is the distance

By substitution

$h=0.5\times 32.2\times 0.425^{2}=2.9080625 m\approx 2.91 m$
