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}

Answer:

Water breaking down into hydrogen and oxygen is a decomposition reaction

Hydrogen and oxygen combining to form water is a synthesis reaction

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction that involves the breakdown of a chemical reactant entity into two or more simpler product fragments

Water H₂O undergoes a decomposition reaction by breaking down into hydrogen, H₂,, and oxygen, O₂, as follows;

2H₂O (l) → 2H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)

A synthesis reaction is a reaction that involves the chemical combination of two or more dissimilar molecules or atoms to produce a different compound or molecule

Water, H₂O, is formed by a synthesis reaction of hydrogen, H₂,, and oxygen, O₂, combining as follows;

2H₂ + O₂  → 2H₂O

In an elastic head-on collision, a 0.60 kg cart moving at 5.0 m/s [W] collides with a 0.80 kg cart moving at 2.0 m/s [E]. The co
labwork [276]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity. Given that:

m_1=0.6kg,u_1=-5m/s(moving \ west),m_2=0.8kg,u_2=2m/s,k=1200N/m

a)

The final velocity of cart 1 after collision is given as:

v_1=(\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2})u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\  Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.6-0.8}{0.6+0.8} (-5)+\frac{2*0.8}{0.6+0.8}(2)= 5/7+16/7=3\ m/s

The final velocity of cart 2 after collision is given as:

v_2=(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})u_2+\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1\\  Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.8-0.6}{0.6+0.8} (2)+\frac{2*0.6}{0.6+0.8}(-5)= 2/7-30/7=-4\ m/s

b) Using the law of conservation of energy:

\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1+ \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\x=\sqrt{\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{k}}\\ Substituting\ gives:\\x=\sqrt{\frac{0.6*(-5)^2+0.8*2^2-(0.6*3^2)-(0.8*(-4)^2)}{1200}}=\sqrt{0}=0\ cm

<span>Like most Earth materials, rocks are created and destroyed in cycles. The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. </span><span>All rocks are made up of minerals. A mineral is defined as a naturally occurring, crystalline solid of definite chemical composition and a characteristic crystal structure. A rock is any naturally formed, nonliving, firm, and coherent aggregate mass of solid matter that constitutes part of a planet. i don't know if this is right but i hope it helps</span>
