sound is a longitudinal wave, and its speed depends on the medium through which it propagates. in air, sound travels at 343 m/s

. in an experiment, you observe a sound with a frequency of 600 hz and a wavelength of 6.5 m . what is the speed of sound in this different medium?

The speed of the sound wave in the medium, given the data is 3900 m

<h3>Velocity of a wave </h3>

The velocity of a wave is related to its frequency and wavelength according to the following equation:

Velocity (v) = wavelength (λ) × frequency (f)

v = λf

With the above formula, we can obtain the speed of the sound wave. Details below:

<h3>How to determine speed of the sound wave</h3>

The speed of the wave can be obtained as illustrated below:

  • Frequency (f) = 600 Hz
  • Wavelength (λ) = 6.5 m
  • Velocity (v) =?

v = λf

v = 6.5 × 600

v = 3900 m

Thus, the speed of the sound wave in the medium is 3900 m

When introduced into a region where an electric field is present, an electron with initial velocity will eventually move?
VARVARA [1.3K]
A magnetic field is made by electric currents that is induced from opposite terminals of charges. When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, the electrons move to a certain direction. The guide used for this is Fleming's Left-Hand Rule as shown in the picture. It shows that the motion of the electron is in right angles or perpendicular to the force of the magnetic field. The resulting path of the direction of the electron will be in circular motion.This is the concept used in transformers where a voltage is induced from coils of currents. The electrons move in a helical or circular motion.

A 600-N box is pushed up a ramp that is 2 meters high and 5 meters long. The person exerts a force of 300-N. What is the efficie
AfilCa [17]
From information given, there are two forces in action, the vertical and the horizontal. We first need to calculate separately work done by these two forces, then determine the efficiency. Work = Force × distance work(a) → 600N × 2m = 1,200 Nm work(b) → 300N × 5m = 1,500 Nm Efficiency = work(a) / work (b) × 100 Efficiency = 1200 / 1500 × 100 Efficiency = 0.8 × 100 Efficiency = 80% Therefore the efficiency of the ramp is 80%

suppose a log's mass is 5 kg. After burning, the mass of the ash is 1 kg. explain what May have happened to the other 4 kg.
alexdok [17]
We know that the mass of the log before burning is 5 kg. After it is burnt, the mass of the ash comes out to be 1 kg. So there is a definite mismatch of 4 kg. When the log is burnt, there is the formation of smoke. The air and water present in the wood vaporises to reduce the weight significantly. The combustion actually leads to the formation of carbon dioxide that mixes with the air and also water. The extra mass thus goes into the formation of carbon dioxide and water.

A 0.060-kg ice hockey puck comes toward a player with a high speed. The player hits it directly back softly with an average forc
kramer

Answer:u=-22 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of puck m=0.06\ kg

Average force f_{avg}=1.5\times 10^3\ N

time of contact t=1.2ms=1.2\times 10^{-3}\ s

puck leaves with a velocity of v=8\ m/s

We know impulse is F_{avg}\Delta t=\text{change in momentum}

therefore

1.5\times 10^3\times (1.2\times 10^{-3})=P_f-P_i

P_i=0.06\times 8-1.8

P_i=0.48-1.8=-1.32\ kg-m/s

Final momentum P_f=m\times v_f

P_f=0.06\times 8

P_f=0.48\ kg-m/s

Impulse on the ball =F_{avg}\Delta t

Impulse=1.5\times 10^3\times 1.2\times 10^{-3}=1.8\ N-s

Initial velocity is given by

u=\frac{P_i}{m}=\frac{-1.32}{0.06}

u=-22\ m/s

i.e. initially ball is moving towards -x-axis
