Answer:

The correct answer is a rarefaction.

Explanation:

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that propagate in a medium, such as air. As the vibration continues, a series of successive condensations and rarefactions form and propagate from it. The pattern created in the air is something like a sinusoidal curve to represent a sound wave.

There are peaks in the sine wave at the points where the sound wave has condensations and valleys where it has rarefactions.

Have a nice day!

Paintball guns were originally developed to mark trees for logging. A forester aims his gun directly at a knothole in a tree tha

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The distance between knothole and the paint ball is 0.483 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 4.0 m

Distance = 15 m

Speed = 50 m/s

The angle at which the forester aims his gun are,

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{4}{15}$

$\tan\theta=0.266$

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{15}{\sqrt{15^2+4^2}}$

$\cos\theta=0.966$

Using the equation of motion of the trajectory

The horizontal displacement of the paint ball is

$x=(u\cos\theta)t$

$t=\dfrac{x}{u\cos\theta}$

Using the equation of motion of the trajectory

The vertical displacement of the paint ball is

$y=u\sin\theta(t)-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y=u\sin\theta(\dfrac{x}{u\cos\theta})-\dfrac{1}{2}g(\dfrac{x}{u\cos\theta})^2$

$y=x\tan\theta-\dfrac{gx^3}{2u^2(\cos\theta)^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$y=(15\times0.266)-(\dfrac{9.8\times(15)^2}{2\times(50)^2\times(0.966)^2})$

$y=3.517\ m$

We need to calculate the distance between knothole and the paint ball

$d=h-y$

$d=4-3.517$

$d=0.483\ m$

Hence, The distance between knothole and the paint ball is 0.483 m.

The filament in the bulb is moving back and forth, first pushed one way and then the other. What does this imply about the curre

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector

Explanation:

The current is defined by

i = dQ / dt

this is the number of charges per unit area over time.

The movement of the charge carriers (electrons) is governed by the applied potential difference, when the filament has a movement the drag speed of these moving electrons should change slightly.

But the energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector of the electromagnetic wave

S = 1 / μ₀ EX B

It moves at the speed of light and its speed depends on the properties of the doctor and is not disturbed by small changes in speed, therefore the current in the circuit does not change due to this movement

For a metal that has an electrical conductivity of 7.1 x 107 (Ω-m)-1, do the following: (a) Calculate the resistance (in Ω) of a

jonny [76]

Answer:

(a) 0.0178 Ω

(b) 3.4 A

(d) 9.01 x 10⁻³ V/m

Explanation:

(a)

σ = Electrical conductivity = 7.1 x 10⁷ Ω-m⁻¹

d = diameter of the wire = 2.6 mm = 2.6 x 10⁻³ m

Area of cross-section of the wire is given as

A = (0.25) π d²

A = (0.25) (3.14) (2.6 x 10⁻³)²

A = 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ m²

L = length of the wire = 6.7 m

Resistance of the wire is given as

$R=\frac{L}{A\sigma }$

$R=\frac{6.7}{(5.3\times10^{-6})(7.1\times10^{7}) }$

R = 0.0178 Ω

(b)

V = potential drop across the ends of wire = 0.060 volts

i = current flowing in the wire

Using ohm's law, current flowing is given as

$i = \frac{V}{R}$

$i = \frac{0.060}{0.0178}$

i = 3.4 A

(c)

Current density is given as

$J = \frac{i}{A}$

$J = \frac{3.4}{5.3\times10^{-6}}$

J = 6.4 x 10⁵ A/m²

(d)

Magnitude of electric field is given as

$E = \frac{J}{\sigma }$

$E = \frac{6.4 \times 10^{5}}{ 7.1 \times 10^{7}}$

E = 9.01 x 10⁻³ V/m
