What is the difference between a sonic boom and a shock wave?

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

kap26 [50]

Answer:

0.265

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram. There are four forces:

Normal force Fn pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Tension force T at an angle θ.

Friction force Fn μ pushing left.

Sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn + T sin θ − mg = 0

Fn = mg − T sin θ

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T cos θ − Fn μ = 0

Fn μ = T cos θ

μ = T cos θ / Fn

μ = T cos θ / (mg − T sin θ)

Given T = 164 N, θ = 10.0°, m = 65.0 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

μ = (164 N cos 10.0°) / (65.0 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 164 N sin 10.0°)

μ = 0.265

A dog has a mass of 20 kg. If the dog is pushed across the ice with a force of 40 N, what is its acceleration?

olasank [31]

Answer:

The acceleration is 2 m/s2.

Explanation:

We calculate the acceleration (a), with the data of mass (m) and force (F), through the formula:

F = m x a ---> a= F/m

a = 40 N/20 kg <em> 1N= 1 kg x m/s2</em>

a= 40 kgx m/s2/ 20 kg

1) A person having a mass of 59.1 kg stands before a flight of 30 stairs each of which is 25.0 cm high. He runs up 20 stairs, tu

poizon [28]

Answer:

P = 147,75 W

Explanation:

A man whose mass is 59.1kg climbs up 30 steps of a stair each step is 25 cm high

Height at 30 steps , h=30×2.5= 7.5 m

Change in potential energy , =mgh=59.1×10×7.5 = 4432.5 J

So, Work done by the man , W= 4432.5J

Power used , P= $\frac{W}{T}$

P = 4432.5 /30

P = 147,75 W

I would love to stretch a wire from our house to the Shop so I can 'call' my husband in for meals. The wire could be tightened t

dezoksy [38]

Note: I'm not sure what do you mean by "weight 0.05 kg/L". I assume it means the mass per unit of length, so it should be "0.05 kg/m".

Solution:
The fundamental frequency in a standing wave is given by
$f= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L} }$
where L is the length of the string, T the tension and m its mass. If we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we find
$f= \frac{1}{2 \cdot 24 m} \sqrt{ \frac{240 N}{0.05 kg/m} }=1.44 Hz$

The wavelength of the standing wave is instead twice the length of the string:
$\lambda=2 L= 2 \cdot 24 m=48 m$

So the speed of the wave is
$v=\lambda f = (48 m)(1.44 Hz)=69.1 m/s$

And the time the pulse takes to reach the shop is the distance covered divided by the speed:
$t= \frac{L}{v}= \frac{24 m}{69.1 m/s}=0.35 s$
