Chapter 2: Q57E (page 541)

A jet plane flies overhead at Mach 1.70 and at a constant altitude of 1250 m. (a) What is the angle 蟽of the shock-wave cone? (b) How much time after the plane passes directly overhead do you hear the sonic boom? Neglect the variation of the speed of sound with altitude.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Angle of the shock-wave cone is 伪=36.03c

b) Time taken is 2.94s

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

Given data:

The shock wave is produced by a sound source that moves faster than sound

sin伪=vvS

Here,

v鈫�speed of sound

vs鈫�speed of source

localid="1664344351725" 伪鈫�angle of shock wave

02

Step 2:

a) As the Mach number =vSv=1.7

sim=vvS=11.7伪=sin-111.7=36.03o

Hence, the angle of the shock-wave cone is伪=36.03掳

03

Step 3:

b) Time-taken is

罢补苍伪=tan36.03掳=dvSt=0.727

On putting the values;

t=dvs脳0.727=1250m0.727脳1.7脳344m/s=2.94s

Hence, the time taken is 2.94s

The motors that drive airplane propellers are, in some cases, tuned by using beats. The whirring motor produces a sound wave having the same frequency as the propeller. (a) If one single-bladed propeller is turning at 575rpm and you hear 2Hz beats when you run the second propeller, what are the two possible frequencies (in rpm) of the second propeller? (b) Suppose you increase the speed of the second propeller slightly and find that the beat frequency changes to 2.1Hz. In part (a), which of the two answers was the correct one for the frequency of the second single-bladed propeller? How do you know?

If the deepest structure you wish to image is 10.0cm from the transducer, what is the maximum number of pulses per second that can be emitted? (a) 3850; (b) 7700; (c) 15400; (d) 1,000,000 .

25 A jet airplane is flying at a constant altitude at a steady speed vs greater than the speed of sound. Describe what observers at points A, B, and C hear at the instant shown in the figure, the shock wave has just reached point B. Explain.

BIO Ultrasound in Medicine. A 2.00-MHz soundwave travels through a pregnant woman鈥檚 abdomen and is reflected from the fatal heart wall of her unborn baby. The heart wall is moving toward the sound receiver as the heart beats. The reflected sound is then mixed with the transmitted sound, and 72 beats per second are detected. The speed of sound in body tissue is 1500 m/s. Calculate the speed of the fatal heart wall at the instant this measurement is made.

Does an aircraft make a sonic boom only at the instant its speed exceeds Mach 1? Explain.
