Answer:

The average velocity is 7.5 km/h

Explanation:

Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:

12 minutes = 12/60 hours = 0.2 hours

Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:

1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h

Two in-phase loudspeakers that emit sound with the same frequency are placed along a wall and are separated by a distance of 5.0

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$f = 421.8 Hz$

Explanation:

When she moved a distance of 1 m from mid point she observe first destructive interference due to two speakers

so we can say that path difference of sound due to two speakers will be equal to half of the wavelength

so path difference is given as

$\Delta L = {3.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5} - {1.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5}$

so it will be

$\Delta L = 12.5 - 12.093$

$\Delta L = 0.4066$

now we know that

$\frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.4066$

$\lambda = 0.813$

now frequency of sound is given as

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

$f = \frac{343}{0.813}$

$f = 421.8 Hz$

an athlete whirls an 8.71 kg hammer tied to the end of a 1.5 m chain in a simple horizontal circle where you should ignore any v

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

T = 692.42 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hammer, m = 8.71 kg

Length of the chain to which an athlete whirls the hammer, r = 1.5 m

The angular sped of the hammer, $\omega=1.16\ rev/s=7.28\ rad/s$

We need to find the tension in the chain. The tension acting in the chain is balanced by the required centripetal force. It is given by the formula as follows :

$F=m\omega^2r\\\\=8.71\times (7.28)^2\times 1.5\\\\=692.42\ N$

So, the tension in the chain is 692.42 N.
