Which of the following requirements must be present to hear a sonic boom?

Physics

Lorico [155]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D) The velocity of the airplane must be greater than the speed of sound

Explanation:

Sonic boom is a phenomenon that occurs when an airplane travels ay a velocity greater than the speed of sound.

When this condition is met, the sound waves produced by the airplane (mainly from the engine) is not able to travel ahead of the plane, because the plane is moving at a greater speed than the sound itself; as a result, it is only transmitted behind the plane.

In this situation, a shock wave is produced. This shock wave is associated with a very loud "bang", that can be heard clearly even at several kilometers distance (in fact, supersonic planes are normally not allowed to fly over residential areas. In the past, for example the Concorde, was only allowerd to fly at supersonic speed over the ocean).

So the correct answer is

D) The velocity of the airplane must be greater than the speed of sound

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

A drunk driver's car travel 49.13 ft further than a sober driver's car, before it hits the brakes

Explanation:

Distance covered by the car after application of brakes, until it stops can be found by using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

s = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a

where,  

Vf = Final Velocity of Car = 0 mi/h

Vi = Initial Velocity of Car = 50 mi/h

a = deceleration of car  

s = distance covered

Vf, Vi and a for both drivers is same as per the question. Therefore, distance covered by both car after application of brakes will also be same.

So, the difference in distance covered occurs before application of brakes during response time. Since, the car is in uniform speed before applying brakes. Therefore, following equation shall be used:

s = vt

FOR SOBER DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 0.33 s

s = s₁

Therefore,

s₁ = (73.33 ft/s)(0.33 s)

s₁ = 24.2 ft

FOR DRUNK DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 1 s

s = s₂

Therefore,

s₂ = (73.33 ft/s)(1 s)

s₂ = 73.33 ft

Now, the distance traveled by drunk driver's car further than sober driver's car is given by:

ΔS = s₂ - s₁

ΔS = 73.33 ft - 24.2 ft

<u>ΔS = 49.13 ft</u>

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N. What is the mechanical advantage of this system? How many sections of
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 3

Explanation:

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N.

The mechanical advantage of the system is given by the ratio of output force to the input force.

Here, output force = 300 N and input force = 100 N

Mechanical advantage,

m=\dfrac{300}{100}\\\\m=3

Mechanical advantage is 3 it means that there are 3 sections of rope support. Hence, this is the required solution.
