Which of the following wavelengths will produce standing waves on a string that is 3.5 m long?

Physics
2 answers:
denpristay [2]3 years ago

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.

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Similar charges repel each other, whereas charges that are opposed attract each other.

Given data;

Electric force,F = 9 × 10 ⁻⁹ N

Distance between charges,d = 7 × 10⁻⁴ m

Chrge,q₁ = q₂ =q C

From Columb's law;

\rm F = K \frac{q_1q_2}{d^2} \\\\ 9 \times 10^{-9}  = 9 \times 10^9 \frac{q^2}{(7 \times 10^{-4})^2} \\\\ q^2 = 4.9 \times 10^{-25} \\\\  q = 7 \times 10^{-13} \ C

Hence the charge on each of the equally charged drops of hairspray willl be 7 × 10 ⁻¹³ C

Identify how the energy flows up through the ecosystem. Describe how decomposers help to cycle matter in an ecosystem and their
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, they carry out decomposition, a process possible by only certain kingdoms, such as fungi. Like herbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic, meaning that they use organic substrates to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development. While the terms decomposer and detritivore are often interchangeably used, detritivores ingest and digest dead matter internally, while decomposers directly absorb nutrients through external chemical and biological processes. Thus, invertebrates such as earthworms, woodlice, and sea cucumbers are technically detritivores, not decomposers, since they must ingest nutrients - they are unable to absorb them externally.

What is the expected wavelength (in cm) of 10.5 ghz microwaves in free space?
Sindrei [870]

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (300 thousand km per second) / (10.5 billion per second)

Wavelength = (300 / 10.5) (thousand km per second) / (billion per second)

Wavelength = (28.57) (million meters / second) / (thousand million / second)

Wavelength = (28.57) (meters / second) / (thousand / second)

Wavelength = (28.57) (meters / thousand)

<em>Wavelength = (28.57) (millimeters) </em>

A watt is a measure of power (the rate of energy change) equal to 1 j&gt;s. (a) calculate the number of joules in a kilowatt- ho
GalinKa [24]
Before solving this, you must know the definition of these units of measurement. Watt is a measurement of power which is the amount of energy per unit time in seconds. Energy, on the other hand, is expressed through the SI unit Joules. Thus, power is the amount of energy in Joules per second.

From here, you can use the dimensional analysis technique. Also, you should know that 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts, and 24 hours is equal to 86,400 seconds. Then,

100 = Energy/86,400
Energy = 8,640,000 Joules
