Hot chocolate effect tap a metal spoon inside a mug of water and note the frequency fi you hear. Then add a spoonful of powder (say, chocolate mix or instant coffee) and tap again as you stir the powder. The frequency you hear has a lower value f because the tiny air bubbles released by the powder change the water's bulk modulus. As the bubbles reach the water surface and disappear, the frequency gradually shifts back to its initial value. During the effect, the bubbles don't appreciably change the water's density or volume or the sound's wavelength. Rather, they change the value of dV/dp-that is, the differential change in volume due to the differential change in the pressure caused by the sound wave in the water. If fs/fi = 0.333, what is the ratio (dv/dp)s/(dv/dp)i?

A sound wave in air at 20°C has a frequency of 150 Hz and displacement amplitude of 5.00 X 10-3 mm. For this sound wave calculate the (a) Pressure amplitude (in Pa); (b) Intensity fm W/m2); (c) Sound intensity level fm decibels).
Borden Inc. conducts a business that spans four states. Its total income for the year was $32 million. However, the total of the taxable incomes reported on Borden\'s four state income tax returns was $34.8 million. Discuss the possible reasons for such a discrepancy?
At 850°C, CaCO3 undergoes substantial decomposition to yield CaO and CO2. Assuming that the (H°f values of the reactant and products are the same at 850°C as they are at 25°C, calculate the enthalpy change (in kJ) if 66.8 g of CO2 are produced in one reaction?
Last month, 34,781 Toyota Camry cars were sold, and there were 10,096 Ford Mustangs sold. Relative Change. Exercises each provide two values. For each pair of values, use a percentage to express their relative change or difference. Use the second given value as the reference value, and express...
Zak Corp. purchased depreciable assets costing $600,000 on January 2, 2010. For tax purposes, the company uses CCA in a class that has a 40% rate. For financial reporting purposes, the company uses straight-line depreciation over five years. The enacted tax rate is 34% for all years. This...

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside Earth. Unlike a gas, Earth can experience both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves. Typically, the speed of S waves is about 4.5 km/s, and that of P waves 8.0 km/s. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P waves arrive...
