(a) If two sound waves, one in a gas medium and one in a liquid medium, are equal in intensity, what is the ratio of the pressur

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

(a) The ratio of the pressure amplitude of the waves is 43.21

(b) The ratio of the intensities of the waves is 0.000535

Explanation:

Given;

density of gas, $\rho _g$ = 2.27 kg/m³

density of liquid, $\rho _l$ = 972 kg/m³

speed of sound in gas, $C_g$ = 376 m/s

speed of sound in liquid, $C_l$ = 1640 m/s

The of the sound wave is given by;

$I = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho C} \\\\P_o^2 = 2 \rho C I\\\\p_o = \sqrt{2 \rho CI}$

Where;

$P_o$ is the pressure amplitude

$P_o_g= \sqrt{2 \rho _g C_gI} -------(1)\\\\P_o_l= \sqrt{2 \rho _l C_lI}---------(2)\\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \frac{\sqrt{2 \rho _l C_lI}}{\sqrt{2 \rho _g C_gI}} \\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \rho _l C_lI}{2 \rho _g C_gI} }\\\\ \frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{ \rho _l C_l}{ \rho _g C_g} }\\\\ \frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{ (972)( 1640)}{ (2.27)( 376)} }\\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = 43.21$

(b) when the pressure amplitudes are equal, the ratio of the intensities is given as;

$I = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho C}\\\\I_g = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _g C_g}-------(1)\\\\I_l = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _l C_l}-------(2)\\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = (\frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _l C_l})*(\frac{2\rho_gC_g}{P_o^2} )\\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = \frac{\rho _gC_g}{\rho_lC_l} \\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = \frac{(2.27)(376)}{(972)(1640)}\\\\ \frac{I_l}{I_g} = 0.000535$

The "Biltmore Agreement" stipulated that a. remote broadcasts could not emanate from hotels. b. NBC could not give away tickets

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The "Biltmore Agreement" stipulated that:

Radio stations agreed to broadcast no longer than five minutes of news, twice per day, while using information supplied by the newspapers.

e. radio stations could only air five-minutes newscasts a day.

Explanation:

The Biltmore Agreement tried to reconcile within the press war between newspapers and radio, as during its golden age the newspapers´ revenues decreased. Radio´s brand new technology was more attractive and creative for advertising and could report breaking news faster than the newspapers, which through the press associations including the Associated Press and the United Press, pressured to stop providing news to radio stations beginning a war in 1933, which partially ended with the Biltmore Agreement, which restricted the radio´s broadcasting of news if the newspapers continued publishing radio listings, radio stations were to broadcast no longer than five minutes of news, twice per day, if information supplied by the newspapers was used, no sponsors were allowed, and no more that 30 words in a single story were allowed either; radio stations had to include: "See your daily newspaper for further details" in their announcements and, could only broadcast news after 9:30 AM for morning news, and after 9:00 PM for evening news, so people would have already received their newspapers.

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s
