A capillary wave is a wave traveling across the surface of a fluid that is driven by the surface tension within the fluid. The speed v of a capillary wave depends on the density of the fluid ?ρ , the wavelength of the wave ?λ, and the surface tension ?σ . The SI units of surface tension are J/m2. The capillary wave speed can be written as
?=???????v=kσaρbλc ,
where k is some unitless constant. What must be the value of c?
Speed of sound (vo) in dry air at 0°C is 331 m/s. Therefore, at room temperature (23°C) the
speed (vT) will be
O [331 x 296) /273)] m/s
O [(331 x 23) /273] m/s
O [331/(296/273)] m/s
V[331 (23/273)] m/s
There was an accident and NASA engineers are
trying to sort out where two of their Mars Rovers
(named 'Tango' and 'Foxtrot') have landed. The
engineers know that landing site A is much hotter
than landing site B. Unfortunately, the only
working sensors on Tango and Foxtrot measure
the speed of sound. If Tango measures the speed
of sound at its landing site as 240 m/s, while
Foxtrot measures speed of sound as 258 m/s at
its landing site, where has each rover landed?
Tango landed at site A while Foxtrot landed
at site B.
Tango landed at site B while Foxtrot landed
at site A.
Both Tango and Foxtrot landed at site A.
O Both Tango and Foxtrot landed at site B.

Researchers are doing this by measuring the time it takes sound pulses to travel underwater over large distances. At a depth of 1000 m, where ocean temperatures hold steady near 4∘C, the average sound speed is 1480m/s. It's known from laboratory measurements that the sound speed increases 4.0m/s for every 1.0∘C increase in temperature. In one experiment, where sounds generated near California are detected in the South Pacific, the sound waves travel 8300 km .If the smallest time change that can be reliably detected is 1.0 s, what is the smallest change in average temperature that can be measured?arrow_forward

Since your cells are mostly water, let's look at one water (H20) molecule, and let's assume that the oxygen atom is mostly staying still, and one of the hydrogen atoms is vibrating at this frequency of 3.2x10^13 Hz (resulting in this infrared radiation). We can model this oscillation as a mass on a spring. A hydrogen atom is just a proton and an electron (and you can ignore the mass of the electron because it's so smnall) a) How much time does it take for the hydrogen atom to go through one full oscillation? b) If you're modeling the hydrogen-oxygen bond as a spring, what is its "spring constant"? c) Our "mass on a spring" has both kinetic energy and potential energy.
