What is the temperature if the speed of sound through air is measure to be 319m/s? SHOW STEPS PLEASE

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]T \approx -20.328^{\circ}C[/tex]

Explanation:

The speed of sound through air as a function of temperature can be estimated by the following first-order polynomic approximation:

[tex]v \approx 331.4\,\frac{m}{s} + \left(0.61\,\frac{m}{s\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot T[/tex]

Where:

[tex]v[/tex] - Speed of sound, in meters per second.

[tex]T[/tex] - Temperature, in [tex]^{\circ}C[/tex].

The temperature of air when speed of sound through air is [tex]319\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] is:

[tex]319\,\frac{m}{s} \approx 331.4\,\frac{m}{s} + \left(0.61\,\frac{m}{s\cdot ^{\circ}C}\right)\cdot T[/tex]

[tex]T \approx -20.328^{\circ}C[/tex]

If speed of sound through air is measure to be 319m/s, the temperature will be -18.15°C  or 255 K.

The sound's speed is directly proportional to the square root of temperature.  

V =  √ RT/M  

Thus,  

[tex]\bold {\dfrac {V1}{V2} = \sqrt { \dfrac {T1}{T2}}}[/tex]

Where,

V1 -  Speed of sound in air =  346 m/s.

V2 - Currunt speed = 319m/s

T1 - Room temperature = 25°C = 298 K  = 300 K

T2 - Currunt temperature,

346/319 = √300/T2  

1.085 = √300/T2  

300/T2 = 1.176  

T2 = 300/1.176  

T2 = 255 K

Therefore,  If speed of sound through air is measure to be 319m/s, the temperature will be -18.15°C  or 255 K.
