Answer:

When a sound source moves faster than the speed of sound, a shock wave is produced as the sound waves interfere. A sonic boom is the intense sound that occurs as the shock wave moves along the ground.

More importantly, all of the energy gets concentrated into a very small distance this is called a shock wave. In this case, the observer does not hear the approaching source at all until the shock wave hits with all of the energy in the wave. For sound waves, this can cause a very loud noise, called a sonic boom.

Sonic booms produced by aircraft flying supersonic at altitudes of less than 100 feet, creating between 20 and 144 pounds overpressure, have been experienced by humans without injury. Damage to eardrums can be expected when overpres- sures reach 720 pounds

oscillating spring mass systems can be used to experimentally determine an unknown mass without using a mass balance. a student

12345 [234]

Answer:

Mass, m = 6.18 kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Frequency, F = 10 Hz

Spring constant, k = 250 N/m

We know that pie, π = 22/7

To find the mass, we would use the following formula;

F = 1/2π√(k/m)

Where;

F is the frequency of oscillation.

k is the spring constant.

m is the mass of the spring.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

10 = 1/2 * 22/7 * √250/m

10 = 22/14 * √250/m

Cross-multiplying, we have;

140 = 22 * √250/m

Dividing both sides by 22, we have;

140/22 = √250/m

6.36 = √250/m

Taking the square of both sides, we have;

6.36² = (√250/m)²

40.45 = 250/m

Cross-multiplying, we have;

40.45m = 250

Mass, m = 250/40.45

Mass, m = 6.18 kg

Calculate the mechanical advantage if a machine allows you to move a 60 newton rock by only exerting 15 newtons of force.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

4 Newtons

Explanation:

I think it's 4 because mechanical advantage = output force/input force
So, it would be 60/15, which is 4 newtons

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

1) maximum electric field strength = 0.016 V/m

2)maximum magnetic field strength = 5.33 x 10^(-11) T

3) wavelength = 3 x 10^(8)m

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Frequency (f) = 1 Hz

Maximum Potential ΔV = 4 mV = 4 x 10^(-3) V

Length; d = 0.25 m

Now, maximum potential formula is given as;

ΔV = E_o•d

Where E_o is maximum electric field strength.

Thus,

E_o= ΔV/d = (4 x 10^(-3))/0.25 = 0.016 V/m

B) The maximum magnetic field strength is given by;

B_o = E_o/c

Where;

c is speed of light = 3 x 10^(8)

B_o is maximum magnetic field strength

Thus,

B_o = 0.016/(3 x 10^(8)) = 5.33 x 10^(-11) T

C) Speed of any electromagnetic wave is given by;

c = fλ

Where;

f is frequency

λ is wavelength

c is speed of light = 3 x 10^(8)

Thus, making λ the subject,

λ = c/f

λ = (3 x 10^(8))/1 = 3 x 10^(8)m
