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 college dorm room measures 14 ft wide by 13 ft long by 6 ft high. What is the air in it under normal conditions?
kirza4 [7]

Complete question:

A college dormitory room measures 14 ft wide by 13 ft long by 6 ft high. Weight density of air is 0.07 lbs/ft3. What is the weight of air in it under normal conditions?

Answer:

the weight of the air is 76.44 lbs

Explanation:

Given;

dimension of the dormitory, = 14 ft by 13 ft by 6 ft

density of the air, = 0.07 lbs/ft³

The volume of the air in the dormitory room = 14 ft x 13 ft x 6 ft

                                                                          = 1092 ft³

The weight of the air = density  x  volume

                                   = 0.07 lbs/ft³  x  1092 ft³

                                   = 76.44 lbs

Therefore, the weight of the air is 76.44 lbs

Susan said, if I fertilize my geranium plants, they will blossom
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

I don't know what you're asking, but I will try my best.

If Susan fertilizes her geranium plants, it will help them blossom. If she over-fertilizes them though, they will die. But yes, in general, they will blossom if Susan fertilizes her geranium plants.

Answer:

given -

initial velocity = 4.09 m/s

acceleration = 1.01 m/s²

distance = 23.4 m

time = ?

using second formula of motion,

s = ut + 1/2 at².

where, s = distance

u = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

23.4 = 4.09(t) + 1/2(1.01)(t) ²

23.4 = 4.09t + 2.02t²

2.02t² + 4.09t - 23.4 = 0

solving the equation by using quadratic formula

Use the standard form, ax² + bx + c = 0 , to find the coefficients of our equation, :

a = 2.02

b = 4.09

c = -23.4

we get t=2.539 or t= -4.563

time cannot be negative so

t= 2.539 sec = 2.6 Sec is the answer
