24 Questions
What is the primary requirement for sound to be transmitted?
A medium of transmission
What is elasticity in the context of sound waves?
A property of matter that determines how much an object changes shape under pressure
What is the ratio of applied pressure change to the resulting fractional change in length or volume called?
Index of Elasticity
What is the name of the modulus that describes the elasticity of linear objects?
Young's modulus
Can sound waves travel in a vacuum?
No, sound waves require a medium to transmit
What is the relationship between the restoring force of a spring and its elasticity?
The restoring force is proportional to the elasticity
What is the unit of the elasticity modulus of the medium?
N/m2
What is the speed of sound dependent on?
Both the elasticity modulus and density of the medium
What is the unit of the speed of sound?
m/s
What is the value of the speed of sound in steel, according to the example?
5096.47 m/s
What does GPa stand for?
Giga Pascals
Why was the problem revisited in the example?

What is the shape of the oscillation made by a pendulum?
Sine
What is the value of velocity at points B and D in a pendulum's motion?
Zero
What happens to the forces at point A/C/E in a pendulum's motion?
All forces cancel each other out
What is the term for the 'force' that is not a real force, but rather a concept used to describe an object's tendency to resist changes in its motion?
Inertial force
What is the concept that carries the pendulum through point C?
Inertia and momentum
What is the phase of the pendulum at point A?
Equilibrium
What is the purpose of 'rounding and estimation' in mathematical calculations?
To solve a simpler problem by approximating the values
What is the term used to describe the back-and-forth motion of a mechanical object around its equilibrium position?
Oscillation or vibration

Factoring
What is the advantage of knowing the times tables and factoring?
It makes solving problems involving fractions easier
What is the term used to describe the amount of time taken by a wave to complete one cycle?
Period
