The shock-wave cone created by a space shuttle at one instant during its re-entry into the atmosphere makes an angle of 58.0掳 with its direction of motion. The speed of sound at this altitude is 331 m/s. (a) What is the Mach number of the shuttle at this instant, and (b) how fast (in m/s and in mi/h) is it traveling relative to the atmosphere? (c) What would be its Mach number and the angle of its shock-wave cone if it flew at the same speed but at low altitude where the speed of sound is 344 m/s?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A)The Mach number of the shuttle is 1.18

B) The speed of the shuttle in m/s is 390 m/s and the speed of the shuttle in mi/h is 872 mi/h. C) The Mach number is 1.13 and the angle of the shock wave is 61.9

Step by step solution

01

STEP 1 Formula to Mach number of the shuttle

The formula to Mach number of the shuttle is, M=1sinwhere, M is the Mach number of the shuttle.is the angle of the shock wave.

The speed of the shuttle in m/s is sin=vvswhere, is the angle of shock wave. v is the speed of sound in the air at that instant, vsis the sonic speed of the shuttle.

The Mach number isM=vvs where, M is the Mach number, vsis the sonic speed of the shuttle. v is the speed of the sound in air.

02

Calculate the Mach number of the shuttle

The angle of the shock wave created by the space shuttle is 58.0 and the speed of the sound at that instant is 331 m/s. Substitute 58.0 forin the above equation to find M.

M=1sin58.0=1.179=1.18

Therefore, The Mach number of the shuttle is 1.18

03

Calculate the speed of the shuttle

The angle of the shock wave created by the space shuttle is 58.0, the speed of the sound at that instant is 331 m/s and the Mach number of the shuttle is 1.18.Substitute 58.0 for and 331 m/s for v in the above equation to findvs

sin58.0=Vvsvs=331m/ssin58.0=390.31m/s=390m/s

Formula, to calculate the speed of the shuttle in mi/h is,

vsmijh=vs6.21104mi1m3600s1h=(390.31m/s)6.21104mi1m3600s1h=872mi/h

Therefore, the speed of the shuttle in m/s is 390 m/s and the speed of the shuttle in mi/h is 872 mi/h.

04

Calculate the Mach number and angle of the shock

The Mach number isM=vvsSubstitute 390 m/s forvs and 344 m/s for v in the above equation to find M

role="math" localid="1668077721573" =390m/s344m/s=1.13

Therefore, the Mach number is 1.13

Formula to calculate the angle of the shock is蝉颈苍伪=vvs Substitute 390 m/s forvsand 344 m/s for v in the above equation to find

=344m/s390m/s=61.9

Therefore, the angle of the shock is61.9

A turntable 1.50 m in diameter rotates at 75 rpm. Two speakers, each giving off sound of wavelength 31.3 cm, are attached to the rim of the table at opposite ends of a diameter. A listener stands in front of the turntable. (a) What is the greatest beat frequency the listener will receive from this system? (b) Will the listener be able to distinguish individual beats?

You blow across the open mouth of an empty test tube and produce the fundamental standing wave of the air column inside the test tube. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s and the test tube act as a stopped pipe. (a) If the length of the air column in the test tube is 14.0 cm, what is the frequency of this standing wave? (b) What is the frequency of the fundamental standing wave in the air column if the test tube is half filled with water?

(a) A sound source producing 1.00-kHz waves moves toward a stationary listener at one-half the speed of sound. What frequency will the listener hear? (b) Suppose instead that the source is stationary and the listener moves toward the source at one-half the speed of sound. What frequency does the listener hear? How does your answer compare to that in part (a)? Explain on physical grounds why the two answers differ.

The Vocal Tract. Many opera singers (and some pop singers) have a range of about21/2 octaves or even greater. Suppose a soprano鈥檚 range extends from A below middle C (frequency 220 Hz) up to E-flat above high C (frequency 1244 Hz). Although the vocal tract is quite complicated, we can model it as a resonating air column, like an organ pipe, that is open at the top and closed at the bottom. The column extends from the mouth down to the diaphragm in the chest cavity, and we can also assume that the lowest note is the fundamental. How long is this column of air if v = 354 m/s? Does your result seem reasonable, on the basis of observations of your own body?

For sound waves in air with frequency 1000 Hz, a displacement amplitude of 1.2 x 108 m produces a pressure amplitude of 3.0 脳 10-虏 Pa. Water at 20掳C has a bulk modulus of 2.2 x 10鈦 Pa, and the speed of sound in water at this temperature is 1480 m/s. For 1000-Hz sound waves in 20掳C water, what displacement amplitude is produced if the pressure amplitude is 3.0 x 102 Pa? Explain why your answer is much less than 1.2 x 10-8 m.
