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

Physics
1 answer:
WINSTONCH [101]2 years ago
3 0

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

A 6.7kg object moves with a velocity of 8m/s. What's its kinetic energy?
Snezhnost [94]

Given parameters:

Mass of object = 6.7kg

Velocity  = 8m/s

Unknown parameter:

Kinetic energy  = ?

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy;

Kinetic and potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest.

Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as;

             Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

where m is the mass of the body

           v is the velocity of the body

Since we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown;

            Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} x 6.7 x 8²   = 214.4‬J

So the kinetic energy of the body is  214.4‬J

A block of ice of mass 4.30 kg is placed against a horizontal spring that has a force constant k = 250 N/m and is compressed a d
OleMash [197]

Answer:

W = 0.060 J

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

Explanation:

solution:

for the spring:

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 - 1/2*k*x_2^2

x_1 = -0.025 m and x_2 = 0

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 = 1/2*(250 N/m)(-0.028m)^2

W = 0.060 J

the work-energy theorem,

W_tot = K_2 - K_1 = ΔK

with K = 1/2*m*v^2

v_2 = √2*W/m

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

A 350-g baseball is shot out of a small cannon with a velocity of 9.0 m/s. The baseball flies horizontally at a constant height
stira [4]

Answer:

9.5 kg m^2/s

Explanation:

The angular momentum of an object is given by:

L=mvr

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

r is the distance of the object from axis of rotation

Here we have:

m = 350 g = 0.35 kg is the mass of the ball

v = 9.0 m/s is the velocity

r = 3.0 m is the distance of the object from axis of rotation (if we take the ground as the centre of rotation)

Therefore, the angular momentum is:

L=(0.35)(9.0)(3.0)=9.5 kg m^2/s
