A 90.0-m-long brass rod is struck at one end. A person at the other end hears two sounds as a result of two longitudinal waves,

one traveling in the metal rod and the other traveling in the air. What is the time interval between the two sounds? Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s. Use 8600 kg/m3 for the density of brass and 9.00×109 Pa for Young's modulus of brass.

Answer:

0.174413400763 s

Explanation:

L = Length of rod = 90 m

Speed of sound in air = 344 m/s

$\rho$ = Density of brass = 8600 kg/m³

Y = Young's modulus = $9\times 10^9\ Pa$

Velocity of sound in a material is given by

$v_b=\sqrt{\dfrac{Y}{\rho}}\\\Rightarrow v_b=\sqrt{\dfrac{9\times 10^9}{8600}}\\\Rightarrow v_b=1022.99150921\ m/s$

Time taken in brass

$t=\dfrac{L}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{90}{1022.99150921}\\\Rightarrow t=0.0879772697913\ s$

In air

$t=\dfrac{L}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{90}{343}\\\Rightarrow t=0.262390670554\ s$

The time interval is $0.262390670554-0.0879772697913=0.174413400763\ s$

An egg falls from a nest at a height of 4m. What speed will it have when it is 1m from the ground? Neglect air resistance and ta

Zolol [24]

Answer: 7.66 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to free fall (vertical motion). Hence, this can be considered a one-dimension problem and we can use the following equation:

$V^{2}=V_{o}^{2}+2gd$

Where:

$V$ is the final velocity of the egg at the asked height

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the egg

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

$d=4 m- 1m= 3m$ is the distance at which the egg is from the nest, when it is $1 m$ from the ground

Isolating $V$ :

$V=\sqrt{V_{o}^{2}+2gd}$

Substituting the known values:

$V=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^{2})(3 m)}$

$V=7.66 m/s$ This is the final velocity of the egg

Semenov [28]

Answer:

a. $I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2$

b. $K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m$

Explanation:

The inertia can be find using

a.

$I = m*r^2$

$m = 0.95 g * \frac{1 kg}{1000g}=9.5x10^{-4} kg$

$r=0.54 cm * \frac{1m}{100cm} =5.4x10^{-3}m$

$I = 9.5x10^{-4}kg*(5.4x10^{-3}m)^2$

$I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2$

now to find the torsion constant can use knowing the period of the balance

b.

T=0.5 s

$T=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{I}{K}}$

Solve to K'

$K = \frac{4\pi^2* I}{T^2}=\frac{4\pi^2*2.7702 kg*m^2}{(0.5s)^2}$

$K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m$

A particle in the first excited state of a one-dimensional infinite potential energy well (with U = 0 inside the well) has an en

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The energy of this particle in the ground state is E₁=1.5 eV.

Explanation:

The energy $E_{n}$ of a particle of mass <em>m</em> in the <em>n</em>th energy state of an infinite square well potential with width <em>L </em>is:

$E_{n}=\frac{n^{2}h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}$

In the ground state (n=1). In the first excited state (n=2) we are told the energy is E₂= 6.0 eV. If we replace in the above equation we get that:

$E_{1}=\frac{h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}$

$E_{2}=\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}}$

So we can rewrite the energy in the ground state as:

$E_{1}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}})$

$E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} E_{2}$

$E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} ( 6.0\ eV)$

Finally

$E_{1}=1.5\ eV$
