The wavelength for C1 note is 10.40 m, for A6 note is 0.193 m and for B7 note 0.086 m.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since, wavelength, frequency and speed of sound waves are related to each other, we can determine a single parameter with the help of other two parameters. So in this case, the frequency of different notes are given along with their common speed. So as the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength then in this case, the wavelength of the notes will be maximum for C1 and minimum for 3951.1 Hz.

Wavelength = Speed / Frequency

Wavelength for C1 note = 340 / 32.7 =10.40 m

Similarly, the wavelength for A6 note = 340/1760=0.193 m

And, the wavelength for B7 note = 340/3951.1 = 0.086 m

So, the wavelength for C1 note is 10.40 m, for A6 note is 0.193 m and for B7 note 0.086 m.

A 1400 kg car is moving at 33.8 m/s when a force is applied the opposite direction of the car's motion. The car slows down to 21

zubka84 [21]

Solve for acceleration:

a = (21.4 m/s - 33.8 m/s) / (4.7 s)

a ≈ -2.6 m/s²

Solve for force:

F = (1400 kg) a ≈ -3700 N

The minus sign tells you the force points in the opposite direction of the car's motion. Its magnitude is always positive, so F = 3700 N.

Drupady [299]

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following

Explanation:

After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.

waning gibbous phase

The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.

Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases

about 29.5 days

It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).

At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue

enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2
