Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of vibration, f = 215 Hz

Amplitude, A = 0.832 mm

(a) Let T is the period of this motion. It is given by the following relation as :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$T=\dfrac{1}{215}$

$T=4.65\times 10^{-3}\ s$

(b) Speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

It can be given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{215\ Hz}$

$\lambda=1.59\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Given the vector A with components Ax = 2.00, Ay = 6.00, the vector B with components Bx = 2.00, By = 22.00, and the vector D =

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°</em>

Explanation:

<u>Operations With Vectors</u>

Given two vectors in rectangular components:

$\vec a=(ax,ay)\ ,\ \vec b=(bx,by)$

The sum of the vectors is:

$\vec a+\vec b=(ax+bx,ay+by)$

The difference between the vectors is:

$\vec a-\vec b=(ax-bx,ay-by)$

The magnitude of $\vec a$ is:

$|\vec a|=\sqrt{ax^2+ay^2}$

The angle $\vec a$ makes with the horizontal positive direction is:

$\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{ay}{ax}\\$

The question provides the vectors:

$\vec a=(2,6)$

$\vec b=(2,22)$

$\vec d=\vec a-\vec b$

Calculate:

$\vec d=(2,6)-(2,22)=(0,-16)$

The magnitude of $\vec d$ is:

$|\vec d|=\sqrt{0^2+(-16)^2}=\sqrt{0+256}=16$

The angle is calculated by:

$\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{-16}{0}$

The division cannot be calculated because the denominator is zero. We need to estimate the correct angle by looking at the components of the vector. Since the x-coordinate is zero and the y-coordinate is negative, the vector points downwards (south), thus the angle must be -90° or 270° if the range goes from 0° to 360°.

The magnitude of vector d is 16 and the angle with the x-axis is 270°

Statements best explains why a scientific theory can be revised?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer: Because new theories can come out that better explain observations and experimental results can replace old theories.

Explanation: Theories more than ten years old are usually out of date. Scientists want to prove that the work of other scientists is wrong. New evidence that supports a change prompts scientists to modify earlier theories.

A lamp in a child's Halloween costume flashes based on an RC discharge of a capacitor through its resistance. The effective dura

Genrish500 [490]

Power of the lamp = (voltage) x (current)

0.62 watt = (3.0 v) x (current)

Current = (0.62 watt) / (3.0 volt)

Current = 0.207 Ampere

Charge = (current) x (time)

Charge = (0.207 Amp) x (0.32 sec)

<em>a). Charge = 0.066 Coulomb</em>

Energy discharge through the lamp = (charge) x (voltage)

Energy = (0.66 C) x (3.0 volt)

Energy = 0.1984 Joule

Energy stored in a capacitor = (1/2) (Capacitance) (voltage²)

0.1984 Joule = (1/2) (Cap) (3.0 v)²

Cap = 2 x 0.1984 / 9

<em>b). Cap = 0.044 Farad</em> (yikes !)

Resistance of the lamo = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (3.0 volt) / (0.207 Amp)

<em>c). Resistance = 14.49 Ω</em>

All of this feels OK except for that ridiculous 44,000 μF, 3v capacitor. Sadly, I have checked my work without finding an error, and I am too lazy to check it again. So I'll call this my final answer, and leave it to some better Brainly person to find where I went wrong.
