Factors affecting speed of sound in air​

Physics
2 answers:
zepelin [54]3 years ago

The speed varies depending on atmospheric conditions; the most important factor is the temperature. Humidity has little effect on the speed of sound, nor does air pressure by itself. Air pressure has no effect at all in an ideal gas approximation.

Answer:

The Density of Medium: Sound requires a medium to travel. The density of the medium is among the factors which affect the speed of sound. ...

The Temperature of The Medium: Higher the temperature, the higher is the speed of sound in the medium.

A cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.

Calculate the recoil speed of a 1.4 kg rifle shooting 0.006 kg bullets with muzzle speed of 800 m/a.3.43 m/s
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

a) 3.43 m/s

Explanation:

Due to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the bullet - rifle system must be conserved.

The total momentum before the bullet is shot is zero, because they are both at rest, so:

p_i = 0

Instead the total momentum of the system after the shot is:

p_f = mv+MV

where:

m = 0.006 kg is the mass of the bullet

M = 1.4 kg is the mass of the rifle

v = 800 m/s is the velocity of the bullet

V is the recoil velocity of the rifle

The total momentum is conserved, therefore we can write:

p_i = p_f

Which means:

0=mv+MV

Solving for V, we can find the recoil velocity of the rifle:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.006)(800)}{1.4}=-3.43 m/s

where the negative sign indicates that the velocity is opposite to direction of the bullet: so the recoil speed is

a) 3.43 m/s

A student is creating a table with properties of electromagnetic and mechanical waves.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The property of the wave marked X is related to the source of the wave

Explanation:

The source of of origin of waves

Electromagnetic wave are waves that consists of varying electric and magnetic field that vibrate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation of the wave and they are therefore transverse waves and transfer energy

Electromagnetic waves originate from the vibration of charged particles that gives off varying electric and magnetic fields

Mechanical waves are defined as waves that require a material medium such as air, water, metal, plastic, stretched leather, or wood to propagate

Mechanical waves originate from vibration of the particles of a medium

Sound waves which is a form of longitudinal mechanical waves that propagates by the vibration of the particles of a given medium about a point parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

 a = √ (a_t² + a_c²)

a_t = dv / dt ,    a_c = v² / r  

Explanation:

In a two-dimensional movement, the acceleration can have two components, one in each axis of the movement, so the acceleration can be written as the components of the acceleration in each axis.

            a = aₓ i ^ + a_y j ^

Another very common way of expressing acceleration is by creating a reference system with a parallel axis and a perpendicular axis. The axis called parallel is in the radial direction and the perpendicular axis is perpendicular to the movement, therefore the acceleration remains

         a = √ (a_t² + a_c²)

where the tangential acceleration is

           a_t = dv / dt

the centripetal acceleration is

          a_c = v² / r
