why is sound mechanical wave? long answer
Answers
As discussed in the previous unit of The Physics Classroom Tutorial, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium, transporting energy from one location to another location. The medium is simply the material through which the disturbance is moving; it can be thought of as a series of interacting particles. The example of a slinky wave is often used to illustrate the nature of a wave. A disturbance is typically created within the slinky by the back and forth movement of the first coil of the slinky. The first coil becomes disturbed and begins to push or pull on the second coil. This push or pull on the second coil will displace the second coil from its equilibrium position. As the second coil becomes displaced, it begins to push or pull on the third coil; the push or pull on the third coil displaces it from its equilibrium position. As the third coil becomes displaced, it begins to push or pull on the fourth coil. This process continues in consecutive fashion, with each individual particle acting to displace the adjacent particle. Subsequently the disturbance travels through the slinky. As the disturbance moves from coil to coil, the energy that was originally introduced into the first coil is transported along the medium from one location to another.
A sound wave is similar in nature to a slinky wave for a variety of reasons. First, there is a medium that carries the disturbance from one location to another. Typically, this medium is air, though it could be any material such as water or steel. The medium is simply a series of interconnected and interacting particles. Second, there is an original source of the wave, some vibrating object capable of disturbing the first particle of the medium. The disturbance could be created by the vibrating vocal cords of a person, the vibrating string and soundboard of a guitar or violin, the vibrating tines of a tuning fork, or the vibrating diaphragm of a radio speaker. Third, the sound wave is transported from one location to another by means of particle-to-particle interaction. If the sound wave is moving through air, then as one air particle is displaced from its equilibrium position, it exerts a push or pull on its nearest neighbors, causing them to be displaced from their equilibrium position. This particle interaction continues throughout the entire medium, with each particle interacting and causing a disturbance of its nearest neighbors. Since a sound wave is a disturbance that is transported through a medium via the mechanism of particle-to-particle interaction, a sound wave is characterized as a mechanical wave. Production and Propagation of Sound Waves
The creation and propagation of sound waves are often demonstrated in class through the use of a tuning fork. A tuning fork is a metal object consisting of two tines capable of vibrating if struck by a rubber hammer or mallet. As the tines of the tuning forks vibrate back and forth, they begin to disturb surrounding air molecules. These disturbances are passed on to adjacent air molecules by the mechanism of particle interaction. The motion of the disturbance, originating at the tines of the tuning fork and traveling through the medium (in this case, air) is what is referred to as a sound wave. The generation and propagation of a sound wave is demonstrated in the animation below.
Many Physics demonstration tuning forks are mounted on a sound box. In such instances, the vibrating tuning fork, being connected to the sound box, sets the sound box into vibrational motion. In turn, the sound box, being connected to the air inside of it, sets the air inside of the sound box into vibrational motion. As the tines of the tuning fork, the structure of the sound box, and the air inside of the sound box begin vibrating at the same frequency, a louder sound is produced. In fact, the more particles that can be made to vibrate, the louder or more amplified the sound.

A professional baseball player can throw the ball around 45 m/s if the distance between the pitcher and the batter is 18.39 m. How much time does it take for the ball to get to the batter?
Answers
Answer:
The time taken for the ball to get to the batter is 0.41 s.
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the baseball, u = 45 m/s
horizontal distance between the pitcher and the batter, X = 18.39 m
The horizontal distance or range of a projectile is given as;
X = ut
where;
t is the time of flight
u is the initial velocity
t = X / u
t = 18.39 / 45
t = 0.41 s
Therefore, the time taken for the ball to get to the batter is 0.41 s.

A cyclist speeds up from 3 m/s to 7 m/s in 8 seconds.
What is its change in velocity?
What's its acceleration?
Answers
Answer:
Change in velocity = 4 m/s and acceleration = 0.5 m/s²
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity, u = 3 m/s
Final velocity, v = 7 m/s
Time, t = 8 seconds
(a) The change in velocity of a cyclist.
[tex]\Delta v=v-u\\\\=7\ m/s-3\ m/s\\\\=4\ m/s[/tex]
(b) Acceleration,
[tex]a=\dfrac{\Delta v}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{4\ m/s}{8\ s}\\\\a=0.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the change in velocity is 4 m/s and acceleration is 0.5 m/s².

A student thinks that any real vibration must be damped. Is the student correct? If so, give convincing reasoning. If not, give an example of a real vibration that keeps constant amplitude forever if the system is isolated.
Answers
Answer:
Yes the student is correct
Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed
The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy (disorderliness) of an isolated system always increases
Therefore, whereby energy is not supplied to maintain the orderly oscillatory motion with constant amplitude, the amplitude of the system is bound to reduce with time that is the vibration of the system must be damped

How much tension must a rope withstand if it is used to accelerate a 6526 kg car vertically upwards at 8.9 m/s^2?
Answers
Answer:
The value is [tex]T = 122036.2 \ N[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the car is [tex]m = 6526 \ kg[/tex]
The acceleration is [tex]a= 8.9 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Generally the net force applied on the rope is mathematically represented as
[tex]F_{net} = T - W[/tex]
Here W is the weight of the car which is evaluated as
[tex]W = m * g[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 6526 * 9.8[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 63954.8 \ N[/tex]
Generally the net force can also be mathematically represented as
[tex]F = m * a[/tex]
So
[tex]m * a = T - 63954.8[/tex]
=> [tex]6526 * 8.9 = T - 63954.8[/tex]
=> [tex]T = 122036.2 \ N[/tex]

Sometimes you can see a faint reflection in the surface of a shiny plate or cup.Why ?
Answers
Answer:
The degree of reflection whether faint or bright you see on the surface of an object is an indication that light particles had hit the surface. Since light is a wave and as part of its characteristics can get reflected. However, the amount of light reflected by a surface is dependent on the smoothness of the surface which can be shiny or dull, it can also be dependent on the nature of the surface which can be glass, water, and so on. So, from the question, you can see a faint reflection on the surface of a shiny plate or cup because of the smoothness of the surface which reflects the lights that hit it from a particular direction at the same angle.

Answers
Answer:
(a) 100.38 m
(b) 183.49 m
(c) 6.12 seconds and 12.24 seconds.
Explanation:
Given that a body is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 60 m/s.
Assuming that upward direction is positive
So, the initial velocity, u=60 m/s
As the acceleration due to gravity, g=9.81 m/s^2, acts in the downward direction, so
a=-9.81 m/s^2
(a) By using the equation of motion, the displacement of the body after time t=2 seconds, is
[tex]s=ut+\frac 1 2 at^2 \\\\ s=60\times 2 +\frac 1 2 (-9.81)2^2 \\\\[/tex]
s=100.38 m
Hence, the height of the body will be 100.38 m after 2 seconds.
(b) At the maximum height, the velocity of the object is zero, so
v=0.
The maximum height is the displacement of the body where it attains zero velocity.
Using the equation of the motion.
[tex]v^2=u^2+2as \\\\0= 60^2 +2(-9.81)s \\\\s=\frac {3600}{2\times 9.81} \\\\[/tex]
s=183.49 m
Hence, the maximum height of the body is 183.49 m.
(c) Time to reach the maximum height
v=u+at
0=60 +(-9.81)t
t=60/9.81
t=6.12 seconds.
The body will take 6.12 seconds to reach the maximum height.
As the time to reach the maximum height from the initial position is the same as the time to reach the initial position from the maximum height.
So, the total time to returns again to the place where it was launched
= 2 x 6.12 = 12.24 seconds.

Eventually, the filament falls apart, gets frail, and breaks, subsequently finishing the life of the light. Lights radiate light by siphoning an electric flow through a dainty tungsten fiber. The filament warms and emits light. Over the long haul, the filament oxidizes and turns out to be increasingly fragile, until it splits up and the bulb goes out. ...

Answers
Explanation:
A boat at sea is being moved by the ocean current at 5 metres/minute directly to the east.
At the same time, it is being moved directly to the north at 3 metres/minute by a strong wind.
We need to find the magnitude and direction of the boat's overall velocity.
As both velocities are moving perpendicular to each other. The resultant velocity is given by :
[tex]v=\sqrt{5^2+3^2} \\\\=\sqrt{25}\\\\=5\ \text{metres/minute}[/tex]
For direction,
[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_y}{v_x}\\\\=\dfrac{3}5{}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{3}5{})\\\\=30.96^{\circ}[/tex]

Explanation:
Friction Force
When an object is at rest on a rough surface, it encounters a friction force that opposes motion.
The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:
[tex]Fr=\mu_k N[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu_k[/tex] is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force.
If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:
N = W = m.g
Thus, the friction force is:
[tex]Fr=\mu_k W[/tex]
We are given the coefficient of static friction [tex]\mu_k=0.5[/tex] and the mass of the object m=10 Kg. The minimum force needed to make it start moving is the maximum friction force:
Fr=0.5*10*9.8
Fr = 49 N
Answer: B. 49 N

A ball is thrown directly upward with an initial speed of 72 m/s. How much time passes before the ball reaches the highest point it will ever reach
Answers
Answer:
7.35 seconds
Explanation:
The computation of the time passed prior to the ball reached to the highest point is as follows;
As we know that the acceleration because of gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s
As the ball is thrown directly in an upward direction with a speed of 72 m/s
So, the time passed prior to the ball reached to the highest point is
= 72 ÷ 9.8
= 7.35 seconds
Hence, the above represents the answer
