The speed of sound in air changes with the temperature. When the temperature T is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the speed S of sound is

1087.5 feet per second. For each degree increase in temperature, the speed of sound increases by 1.1 feet per second. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) Explain why speed S is a linear function of temperature T. Because S always increases by 1.1 when T increases by 1 Correct: Your answer is correct. , S has a constant rate of change and is a linear function of T. Identify the slope of the function. 1.1 Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) Use a formula to express S as a linear function of T. S = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (c) Solve for T in the equation from part (b) to obtain a formula for temperature T as a linear function of speed S. T = (d) Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope of the function you found in part (c). The slope of T as a linear function of S is , and this means that an increase in the speed of sound by 1 foot per second corresponds to an increase of degree in temperature.

Answer and Explanation: A. At temperature t = 32, the speed of sound, s = 1087.5. As the temperature increases by 1°F, speed increases by 1.2. Therefore, S = 1088.6 for T= 33°F. Given two equations: 1087.5 = k(32) + c and 1088.6 = k(33) + c. Subtracting yields (33-32)k = 1088.6 - 1087.5 leading to K = 1.1. Expression: S = kT + c; with 1087.5 = 32(1.1) + c, we find c = 1052.3. Hence, S = 1.1t + 1052.3. Rewriting as T = (s/1.1) - (1052.3/1.1) gives T = 0.90(s) - 956.3. This implies that the temperature rises by 0.90 for every 1 ft/s increase in sound speed.

What is the total flux φ that now passes through the cylindrical surface? enter a positive number if the net flux leaves the cyl
Ostrovityanka [3204]

The overall flux through the cylindrical surface is determined as

\phi = \frac{q}{epsilon_0}

Here q represents the charge contained within the surface

To find the value of q

q = \lambda* L

Consequently, we have

\phi = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}

This gives us the total flux

Now, utilizing Gauss's law, we can determine the electric field

\int E.dA = \phi

\int E.dA = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}

E* 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda * L}{epsilon_0}

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

Using the aforementioned expression to find the electric field at the specified location

A 54 kg man holding a 0.65 kg ball stands on a frozen pond next to a wall. He throws the ball at the wall with a speed of 12.1 m
serg [3582]

Response:

The man's speed is 0.144 m/s

Explanation:

This exemplifies conservation of momentum.

The momentum of the ball prior to being caught must equal the momentum of the man-ball system after catching the ball.

Mass of the ball = 0.65 kg

Mass of the man = 54 kg

Speed of the ball = 12.1 m/s

The momentum of the ball before impact can be calculated as mass multiplied by velocity

= 0.65 x 12.1 = 7.865 kg-m/s

After catching the ball, the momentum of the combined system is

(0.65 + 54)Vf = 54.65Vf

Where Vf denotes their final shared velocity.

Setting the initial momentum equal to the final momentum,

7.865 = 54.65Vf

Vf = 7.865/54.65 = 0.144 m/s
