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}

Why is the electromagnetic spectrum called a spectrum?
Doss [256]

Answer & Explanation:

Scientists call them all electromagnetic radiation. The waves of energy are called electromagnetic (EM) because they have oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Scientists classify them by their frequency or wavelength, going from high to low frequency (short to long wavelength).

Equation of motion description is v=20+2t.How big is the initial speed,acceleration?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

the initial velocity is 20 m/s   and  the acceleration is 2 m/s²

Explanation:

Given equation of motion, v = 20 + 2t

If V represents the final velocity of the object, then the initial velocity and acceleration of the object is calculated as follows;

From first kinematic equation;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is time of motion

If we compare  (v = u + at)   to     (v = 20 + 2t)

then, u = 20    and  

         a = 2

Therefore, the initial velocity is 20 m/s   and  the acceleration is 2 m/s²
