Use your knowledge of and experience with waves and to answer the following and show your work.   What is the frequency in Hertz (Hz) of a signal that repeats 80,000 times in a minute?     What is the period of the wave in part (a)?       Now suppose you have a composite signal (composed of many frequencies). If the frequencies range from 50 Hz to 600 Hz, what is the (analog) bandwidth?
You hear a seal produce an alarm call on the beach. Some of this alarm sound will also penetrate into the water to alert seals swimming underwater. Based upon your measurements of acoustic impedance, you calculate that the Reflection Coefficient R=0.5. Please answer both parts of this question and show your work. 1. How much of the sound energy will reflect back from the water into the air? Give either the proportion or the percentage. If you give the percentage, you must include the percentage sign (%) 2. How much of the sound energy will penetrate into the water? Give either the proportion or the percentage. If you give the percentage, you must include the percentage sign (%)
Solve the following problems. Show your solution. 1. Echoes return in 2.5 s to a person standing in front of a cliff. How far away is the cliff of the peed of the sound in air at sea level is 343 m/s when the temperature is 20 o C 2. The airplane takes off at 9:00 AM and flies in a straight path at 300 km/hr until1:00 PM, its speed is increased to 400 km/hr and it maintain this speed in the same direction until it lands at 3:00 PM. What is the average speed of the airplane fir the entire flight? 3. An object that is undergoing uniform acceleration from rest moves 7.4 m in 2.5 s. what is the acceleration of the object?
