What is laplaces correction to newtons formula?

laplace

s corrected out that when sound is produced compression and rarefaction occur so rapidly that heat remains still in a region where it is generated so, temperature doesn't remains constant


Are slow waves higher in pitch than fast waves?

Not necessarily. The frequency of a wave is equal to the speed divided by the wavelength so if it is fast and has a low wavelength then it will be high pitched. If it has a very large wavelength though it will have a lower pitch.

Does the speed of sound independent of frequency?

No, the speed of sound is not independent of frequency. In general, the speed of sound increases with increasing frequency. This relationship is due to the way sound waves travel through a medium, such as air or water.

When you make sounds by plucking a rubber band you make the rubber band move back and forth very quickly this movement is called?

Vibration. The back and forth motion of the rubber band creates sound waves that we perceive as sound.

What is the frequency of supersonic sound?

Question Re-phrased:

What speed must an object reach, in order for frictional heating to overcome wind chill, and cause a signifigant amount of heating?

Specific Question 1: How fast must a Boeing 737 go, in order for the airplane's skin to heat to 100 degrees celcius? (Assume no structural failure.)

Specific Question 2: How fast must a bullet go to actually achieve an increase in temperature while in flight?

Is the old saying true that if you put your ear to a railroad track you can hear a train that is mile away?

Yes, if there is no other force acting upon the railroad track then you would be able to hear the train about a mile away. Unfortunately this is dangerous because there is no way to tell exactly how far away the train is.

Is speed of sound more in water or in air and why?

The speed of sound is faster in water than in air. This is because water is denser and transmits sound waves more efficiently than air. The molecules in water are closer together, allowing sound waves to travel faster through the medium.

How is the speed of sound is affected by temperature?

The speed of sound increases with increasing temperature because the molecules in the medium vibrate more rapidly and transmit the sound waves faster. This means that sound travels faster in hotter temperatures compared to colder temperatures.

How fast can you listen?

I can process and understand information in real-time, so my listening speed is very fast. I can read and interpret text at a rapid pace, allowing me to provide quick responses to your questions.

What is the speed of sound in air when the air temperature is 31 C?

Assuming that the air is dry (0% humidity) then the speed of sound in 31 degree air is 382.46 m/s (approximately)

Here is the equation for the speed of sound in bone-dry air in degrees C

331.3+((0.606^-1)*("Temp")) in m/s

What is the speed of sound at 70 degrees?

Speed of sound is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × T

T = temperature in °C.

Speed of sound at 70°C is c ≈ 331 + 0.6 × 70 = 373 m/s.

Why does backwards recording sound scary?

Because the sound played backwards is unnatural to our ears, and since our minds aren't used to the concept of backwards-playing our natural response is to be scared or nervous of it, as with many other things unknown to us. Of course backwards-recordings don't provoke any kind of curses or anything to be scared or worried about.

What was the first man made item to exceed the speed of sound?

The first man-made item to exceed the speed of sound was the Bell X-1 aircraft, piloted by Chuck Yeager on October 14, 1947. This achievement marked a significant milestone in aviation history and paved the way for supersonic flight.

What is the non-dimensional property that is 1 at the speed of sound?

The non-dimensional property that is 1 at the speed of sound is the Mach number. It is the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound in the medium it is traveling through. A Mach number of 1 means the object is traveling at the speed of sound.

Why is vacuum a good insulator?

A vacuum is a good insulator because it prevents the transfer of heat by eliminating the medium (matter).
A perfect vacuum is the absence of matter. Heat is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation. Radiation is the only form of heat transfer that does not need a medium. Furthermore, radiation is generally the least efficient method of heat transfer.

How fast the particles in a Quarter are moving?

They're moving with all different speeds that cover a tremendous range.

Their average speed depends on the temperature of the Quarter.

WHAT frequency sounds are detectable at longer ranges in seawater?

Low frequency sounds (20-1,000 Hz) can travel long distances in seawater due to their ability to penetrate further and experience less attenuation compared to higher frequency sounds. This makes them detectable over greater distances in the ocean.

What is the relation between frequency and distance of propagation?

Frequency and distance are directly proportional the higher the frequency the more distance for the sound to dissipate th lower the frequency th shorter the distance for the sound to dissipate

What is the speed of sound flying?

The speed of sound flying varies depending on the altitude, temperature, and humidity. On average, the speed of sound at cruising altitude ranges from approximately 660 to 720 miles per hour.

When the temperature of the air is 25C the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately in steel casting are detected by?

The velocity of sound in the air is about 330 m/s.

The velocity of sound in a liquid is about three times that. But varies widely with liquid.

The velocity of sound in a solid body is about 4 or 5 times that of the sound in air. But once again, it varies widely with the solid.

hint, check the values for lead and tungsten.

What is an aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound called?

The type of aircraft that flies faster than the speed of the sound are called SuperSonic aircraft.There are many supersonic aircrafts. Nowadays there are also HyperSonicaircrafts. The maximum speed recorded is Mach 9.6 (9.6 times faster than the speed of sound) by X-43A.

What happens when a sonic boom happens on land?

depending on the size of the object that broke the sound barrier a whip for example does almost nothing but a fighter jets sonic boom could be loud enough to break glass make you deaf or possibly even kill you if your close enough.

The velocity of sound in air is independent of change in what variable?

The velocity of sound in air is independent of changes in frequency. Sound waves travel at a constant speed determined by the properties of the medium they are traveling through, such as air temperature and pressure.
