Properties of sound

A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).

Quality Of Sound

A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vib…

Categories of Sound Wave

People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules th…

Chapter 14, Problem 86GP

Hearing a Good Hit Physicist Robert Adair, once appointed the “official physicist to the National League” by the commissioner of baseball, believes that the “crack of the bat” can tell an outfielder how well the ball has been hit. According to Adair, a good hit makes a sound of 510 Hz, while a poor hit produces a sound of 170 Hz. What is the difference in wavelength of these sounds?

In order for Jane to return to base camp, she needs to swing across a river of width D that is filled with alligators. She must swing into a wind exerting constant horizontal force F, F = 110 N, L = 40.0 m, 0 = 50.0°, and her mass to be 50.0 kg. Wind →F Tarzan! Jane (a) with what minimum speed (in m/s) must Jane begin her swing to just make it to the other side? (If Jane can make it across with zero initial velocity, enter 0.) m/s on a vine having length L and initially making an angle with the vertical (see below figure). Take D = 48.0 m, (b) Shortly after Jane's arrival, Tarzan and Jane decide to swing back across the river (simultaneously). With what minimum speed (in m/s) must they begin their swing? Assume that Tarzan has a mass of 80.0 kg. m/s
