ANSWER

625 m/s

EXPLANATION

Given:

• The frequency of the sound wave, f = 250 Hz

• The wavelength, λ = 2.5 m

Find:

• The speed of the wave, v

The speed of a wave of wavelength λ and frequency f is given by,

$v=f\cdot\lambda$

Substitute the known values and solve,

$v=250Hz\cdot2.5m=625m/s$

Hence, the speed of the wave is 625 m/s.

A concave mirror has a focal length of 30.0 CM. an object is placed 15.0 CM from the mirror. what is the radius of curvature of

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

60 cm

Explanation:

We are given;

Focal length of a concave mirror as 30.0 cm
Object distance is 15.0 cm

We are required to determine the radius of curvature.

We need to know that the radius of a curvature is the radius of a circle from which the curved mirror is part.

We also need to know that the radius of curvature is twice the focal length of a curved mirror.

Therefore;

Radius of curvature = 2 × Focal length

Therefore;

Radius of curvature = 2 × 30 cm

= 60 cm

Direct current, DC, flows in a _________ direction while alternating current, AC, the direction of flow ___________. A) single,

kramer

The flow of Direct current (DC) is constant and flows in one direction. Most digital electronics make use of DC. Alternating current (AC) periodically flows in reverse and is mostly used to deliver power to houses, buildings and the like. With that alone, you can already rule out A, C and D.

The answer would then be B. constant, periodically reversing.

A piano tuner is using a 392 Hz tuning fork to tune the wire for a G-Natural note. She hears 4 beats per second. What are the tw

inysia [295]

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

$f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |$

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

$f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz$

$f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz$

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz

Suppose an electron is trapped within a small region and the uncertainty in its position is 24.0 x 10-15 m. What is the minimum

Alina [70]

Answer:

Uncertainty in position (∆x) = 24 × 10⁻¹⁵ m
Uncertainty in momentum (∆P) = ?
Planck's constant (h) = 6.26 × 10⁻³⁴ Js

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta x .\Delta p = \dfrac{h}{4\pi}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf24 \times {10}^{ - 15} .\Delta p = \dfrac{6.26 \times {10}^{ - 34}} {4 \times \frac{22}{7} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf24 \times {10}^{ - 15} .\Delta p = \dfrac{6.26 \times {10}^{ - 34}} { \frac{88}{7} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf24 \times {10}^{ - 15} .\Delta p = \dfrac{6.26 \times {10}^{ - 34} \times 7} { 8 }$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{43.82 \times {10}^{ - 34} } { 8 \times 24 \times {10}^{ - 15} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{43.82 \times {10}^{ - 34} } { 192 \times {10}^{ - 15} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{43.82 \times {10}^{ - 34} \times {10}^{15} } { 192}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{43.82 \times {10}^{ -19} } { 192}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{4382 \times {10}^{ - 2} \times {10}^{ -19} } { 192}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = \dfrac{4382 \times {10}^{ - 21} } { 192}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = 22.822\times {10}^{ - 21}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \sf\Delta p = 2.2822 \times {10}^{1} \times {10}^{ - 21}$

$\longrightarrow \: \: \underline{ \boxed{ \red{ \bf\Delta p = 2.2822 \times {10}^{ - 20} \: kg/ms}}}$
