A 40-cmcm-long tube has a 40-cmcm-long insert that can be pulled in and out. A vibrating tuning fork is held next to the tube. A

s the insert is slowly pulled out, the sound from the tuning fork creates standing waves in the tube when the total length LL is 42.5 cmcm , 58.5 cmcm
What is the frequency of the tuning fork? Assume velocity of sound = 343 m/s

Answer:

1070 Hz

Explanation:

First, I should point out there might be a typo in the question or the question has inconsistent values. If the tube is 40 cm long, standing waves cannot be produced at 42.5 cm and 58.5 cm lengths. I assume the length is more than the value in the question then. Under this assumption, we proceed as below:

The insert in the tube creates a closed pipe with one end open and the other closed. For a closed pipe, the difference between successive resonances is a half wavelength \frac{\lambda}{2}.

Hence, we have

\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=58.5-42.5=16 \text{ cm}

\lambda=32\text{ cm}=0.32 \text{ m}.

The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency.

v=f\lambda

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}

f=\dfrac{343}{0.32}=1070 \text{ Hz}

A mass of 0.273 kg is placed on an incline of 38.382 degrees. It is attached by a rope over a pulley to a mass of 0.254 kg. Find
Natali5045456 [20]

here tension in the string is counter balanced by weight of block of mass m1

so we can say

T = m_1g

T = 0.254 \times 9.8 = 2.49 N

now on the other side the block which is placed on the inclined plane

we can say that component of weight of the block and friction force is counter balanced by tension force

m_2g sin\theta + F_f = T

now we can plug in all values to find the friction force

0.273 \times 9.8 sin38.382 + F_f = 2.49

1.66 + F_f = 2.49

F_f = 0.83 N

so it will have 0.83 N force on it due to friction

now to find the friction coefficient

F_f = \mu \times F_n

here we know that

F_n = m_2gcos\theta

F_n = 0.273 \times 9.8 \times cos38.382 = 2.1 N

now from above equation

0.83 = \mu \times 2.1

\mu = 0.38

so friction coefficient will be 0.38

What is the role of the ocular lens?
konstantin123 [22]
It's a type of lens that is attached to a variety of optical devices such as telescopes and microscopes. It is so named because it is usually the lens that is closest to the eye when someone looks through the device.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

dF=2.5Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Time T=0.2sec

Generally the Period is given as

 T= 2 * 0.2 = 0.4

Therefore difference in frequency dF

 dF=\frac{1}{T}

 dF=\frac{1}{0.4}

 dF=2.5Hz

A skier starts from rest and accelerates down a slope 2 at 23 m/s^2. How much time required for the skier to reach a speed of 9.
gayaneshka [121]

The skier's speed at time <em>t</em> is

<em>v</em> = (23 m/s²) <em>t</em>

To reach a speed of 9.3 m/s, the skier would need

9.3 m/s = (23 m/s²) <em>t</em>

<em>t</em> = (9.3 m/s) / (23 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 0.404 s

What is the difference between radial acceleration and tangential acceleration and how do you calculate both of these accelerati
sergey [27]

Answer:

Tangential acceleration is in the direction of velocity - along the circumference of a circle if the object is undergoing circular motion

a = (V2 - V1) / T

Radial acceleration is perpendicular to the direction of motion if the object is not moving in a straight line (perhaps along the circumference of a circle)

a = m V^2 / R = m ω^2 R   where R is the radius vector of the velocity - note that the Radius vector is directed from the center of motion to the object and for circular motion would be constant in magnitude but not  in direction
