In a string of length L, the wavelength of the n-th harmonic of the standing wave produced in the string is given by:

\lambda=\frac{2}{n} L


The length of the string in this problem is L=3.5 m, therefore the wavelength of the 1st harmonic of the standing wave is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{1} \cdot 3.5 m=7.0 m


The wavelength of the 2nd harmonic is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{2} \cdot 3.5 m=3.5 m


The wavelength of the 4th harmonic is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{4} \cdot 3.5 m=1.75 m


It is not possible to find any integer n such that \lambda=5 m, therefore the correct options are A, B and D.

For standing waves to be produced, 
L = nλ/2, where L is the length of the string, λ is the wavelength and n a natural number.

3.5 = nλ/2
7/λ = n

Therefore, the only answers that produce whole numbers when plugged into λ are A and B.

A clam of mass 0.12 kg dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 s to hit the ground. [Neglect friction.]
jarptica [38.1K]

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So if there's no air resistance, the speed of a falling object
always increases by 9.8 m/s for every second it falls.

             Speed  =  (original speed) + (gravity  x  falling time)

-- If it has no vertical speed when it started, then at the end
of 3 seconds, its speed is

                         =       (0)            + (9.8 m/s²  x  3 sec)

                       Velocity  =  29.4 m/s downward .

A car is driving at 99 km/h, calculate the distance it travels in 70 minutes.
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units

Explanation:

Distance d = vt where v = speed of the car and t = time taken to travel

Now v = 99 km/h. We now convert it to S.I units. So

v = 99 km/h = 99 × 1000 m/(1 × 3600 s)

v = 99000 m/3600 s

v = 27.5 m/s

The speed of the car is 27.5 m/s in S.I units

We now convert the time t = 70 minutes to seconds by multiplying it by 60.

So, t = 70 min = 70 × 60 s = 4200 s

The time taken to travel is 4200 s in S.I units

Now the distance, d = vt

d = 27.5 m/s × 4200 s

d = 115500 m

So, the distance the car travels is 115500 m in S.I units

The displacement volume of an automobile engine is 167 in3. what is the displacement volume in liters?
forsale [732]

The displacement volume in liters is 2.74 liters.

<h3>What is displacement volume?</h3>

Displacement volume is the quantity of solvent that will be displaced by a specified quantity of a solid during dissolution.

It can also be defined as the volume displaced by the piston as it moves between top dead center and bottom dead center in a car engine.

<h3>Displacement volume in liters</h3>

1 liter = 61.02 in³

? = 167 in³

= 167/61.02

= 2.74 liters

Thus, the displacement volume in liters is 2.74 liters.
