Answer:

The speed of sound can be gotten by simply finding the average of the results.

=0.756s

It is advisable for the students to repeat 5 times because it allows them to (a) estimate the variability of the results (how close to each other they are) and (b) to increase the accuracy of the estimate.

If a current of 2.4 a is flowing in a cylindrical wire of diameter 2.0 mm, what is the average current density in this wire?

Gnom [1K]

The average current density in the wire is given by:

$J=\frac{I}{A}$

where I is the current intensity and A is the cross-sectional area of the wire.

The cross-sectional area of the wire is given by:

$A=\pi r^2$

where r is the radius of the wire. In this problem, $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.0 mm}{2}=1.0 mm=0.001 m$ , so the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi (0.001 m)^2=3.14 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2$

and the average current density is

$J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{2.4 A}{3.14 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=7.64 \cdot 10^5 A/m^2$

A 25g rock is rolling at a speed of 5 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the rock?

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The answer is 312.5j

Explanation:

The kinetic energy (KE):

KE=1/2*m*v^2

M= mass of the object

v= velocity of the object

We have;

m=25g

v=5m/s

KE=1/2*25g*5^2m/s

KE =312.5j

Standing waves can be established within a cylindrical volume. However, it is not known if the volume is closed at both ends, op

Evgen [1.6K]

The frequencies are missing in the question. The three successive resonance frequencies within the volume are $f_1, f_2 \text{ and}\ f_3$ .

Solution :

Let the volume be : v

The frequency for one end open and one end closed is given by :

So, $f_n = \frac{(2n-1)v}{4L}$

Therefore,

$f_1 = \frac{v}{4L}$ , $f_2 = \frac{3v}{4L}$ , $f_3 = \frac{5v}{4L}$

So, $f_2 - 3f_1$ and $f_3=\frac{5}{3}f_2$

Therefore, the ratio of $\frac{f_3}{f_2}=\frac{5}{3}$ which is not a whole number.

Now the frequency for open volume and closed at both end

$f_n=\frac{nv}{4L}$

So, $f_1=\frac{v}{4L}$ , $f_2 = 2f_1$ , $f_2=3f_1$

From above formulae we can see that ratio of is not a whole number that is a identification for the frequency of the volume at one end open and one end closed.

Also ratio of the consecutive frequency of the volume at open from both side and closed from both side is always a whole number.
