Answer:

3.6 kHz

Explanation:

The pipes behave like a closed pipe . The end open is the end of the air canal outside the ear and the closed end is the eardrum.

The first harmonic will be as seen in the figure attached.

The length of the first harmonic will be λ/4.

λ/4=2.4 cm

λ=2.4 * 4=9.6 cm 0.096 m

Speed of Sound- 344 m/s(in air)

velocity(v) * Time Period(T) = Wavelength (λ)

Also, Time Period(T)= \frac{\textrm{1}}{\textrm{Frequency(f)}}

\frac{\textrm{Velocity}}{\textrm{Wavelength}}=\frac{\textrm{1}}{\textrm{Time Period}} =Frequency

Plugging in the values into the equation,

Frequency = \frac{344}{0.096} Hz

                  = 3583.3 Hz≈3600 Hz= 3.6 kHz

Frequency= 3.6 kHz

Answer:

3.6 kHz

Explanation:

The auditory canal is a closed pipe because it has one closed end, the end terminated at the eardrum.

The length of the first harmonic of a closed pipe is given as;

L = λ/4 --------------------  (i)

where L = Length

and λ = wavelength

2.4 = λ/4

λ = 2.4 x 4 = 9.6 cm

Also, v = fλ  ------------------ (ii)

where v = speed of sound in air = 344 m/s

f = frequency of wave in Hertz

f = v/λ ------------------ (iii)

convert 9.6 cm to m = 0.096 m

substitute for λ and v in (iii)

f = \frac{344}{0.096} = 3583.33

3583.33 Hz = 3600 Hz = 3.6 kHz

Four solid plastic cylinders all have radius 2.41 cm and length 5.94 cm. Find the charge of each cylinder given the following ad
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

QUICK NOTE: THE QUESTION IS NOT COMPLETE. Although it is not, we can make assumptions, since we only need values for the UNIFORM CHARGE DENSITY.

SO, LET US BEGIN;

To solve this question we are to use the equation (1) below;

Charge,Q = uniform charge density,p × Total area of the cylinder,A ------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

From the question, we are given radius, R to be 2.41 cm and length, L to be 5.94 cm.

Step one: calculate for the total area of the cylinder, A.

Total area of the cylinder, A= area of the top surface + area of the buttom + area of the curved surface of the cylinder.

Hence, total area of the cylinder,A is;

==> πR^2 + πR^2 + 2πRL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Then, total area of the cylinder,A is;

==> (L + R)2πR.

Step two: find the charge of each cylinder.

===> For the first cylinder; we have the uniform charge density to be 35 nC/m^2.

Therefore, the combination of equation (1) and (3) gives;

Charge Q= p × (L + R)2πR...----------------------------(4)

Hence, Q= 35 × [(5.94 + 2.41) 2× 3.143 × 5.94].= 10912.615 coulumb.

====> For the second cylinder, we have a uniform charge density of 50 nC/m^2.

Using equation (4), charge,Q= 15,589.45 Coulumb

=====> For THE third cylinder, the uniform charge density is 600, we make use of equation (4);

Charge,Q= 600×311.789.

Charge,Q= 187,073.4 coulumb.

====> For THE fourth cylinder, the uniform charge density is 750 nC/m^2.., we make use of equation (4);

Charge,Q= 233,841.75 coulumb.

A boat heads directly across a river. Its speed relative to the water is 3 m/s. It takes it 539 seconds to cross, but it ends up
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

3.24 m/s

Explanation:

Suppose that the boat sails with velocity (relative to water) direction being perpendicular to water stream. Had there been no water flow, it would have ended up 0m downstream

Therefore, the river speed is the one that push the boat 662 m downstream within 539 seconds. We can use this to calculate its magnitude

v_r = 662 / 539 = 1.23 m/s

So the boat velocity vector relative to the bank is the sum of of the boat velocity vector relative to the water and the water velocity vector relative to the bank. Since these 2 component vectors are perpendicular to each other, the magnitude of the total vector can be calculated using Pythagorean formula:

v = \sqrt{v_b^2 + v_r^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 1.23^2} = \sqrt{9 + 1.5129} = \sqrt{10.5129} = 3.24 m/s
