Suppose a plot of inverse wavelength vs frequency has slope equal to 0.119, what is the speed of sound traveling in the tube to
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}

Now,

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}

\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s

There is a parallel plate capacitor. Both plates are 4x2 cm and are 10 cm apart. The top plate has surface charge density of 10C
liberstina [14]

Answer:

1) The total charge of the top plate is 0.008 C

b) The total charge of the bottom plate is -0.008 C

2) The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates is 0

3) The electric field between plates is approximately 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates is approximately 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The given parameters of the parallel plate capacitor are;

The dimensions of the plates = 4 × 2 cm

The distance between the plates = 10 cm

The surface charge density of the top plate, σ₁ = 10 C/m²

The surface charge density of the bottom plate, σ₂ = -10 C/m²

The surface area, A = 0.04 m × 0.02 m = 0.0008 m²

1) The total charge of the top plate, Q = σ₁ × A = 0.0008 m² × 10 C/m² = 0.008 C

b) The total charge of the bottom plate, Q = σ₂ × A = 0.0008 m² × -10 C/m² = -0.008 C

2) The electrical field at the point exactly midway between the plates is given as follows;

V_{tot} = V_{q1} + V_{q2}

V_q = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{r}

Therefore, we have;

The distance to the midpoint between the two plates = 10 cm/2 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

V_{tot} =  \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} + \dfrac{k \cdot (-q)}{0.05}  = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} - \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} = 0

The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates, V_{tot} = 0

3) The electric field, 'E', between plates is given as follows;

E =\dfrac{\sigma }{\epsilon_0 } = \dfrac{10 \ C/m^2}{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2/(N\cdot m^2)} \approx 1.1294 \times 10^{12}\ N/C

E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

The electric field between plates, E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates

The charge on an electron, e = -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, F_e = E × e

∴ F_e = 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C ×  -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, F_e ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

Why a flying areoplane has more kinectic energy than a flying insect
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: Because the angle of attack is so high, a lot of momentum is transferred downward into the flow. These two features create a large amount of lift force as well as some additional drag.

Brainlest would be much appreciated.
