What is the period of a wave traveling 5 m/s if its wavelength is 20 m/s

Physics
1 answer:
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]3 years ago
7 0

Speed of wave is given as

v = 5 m/s

Wavelength of the wave is given as

\lambda = 20 m

now from the formula of wave time period we can say

speed = \frac{wavelength}{time period}

5 = \frac{20}{T}

T = \frac{20}{5}

T = 4 s

so it will have time period of T = 4 s

A ball of a mass 0.3 kg is released from rest at a height of 8 m. How fast is it going when it hits the ground? Acceleration due
Vaselesa [24]
In order to solve this problem, there are two equations that you need to know to solve this problem and pretty much all of kinematics. The first is that d=0.5at^2 (d=vertical distance, a=acceleration due to gravity and t=time). The second is vf-vi=at (vf=final velocity, vi=initial velocity, a=acceleration due to gravity, t=time). So to find the time that the ball traveled, isolate the t-variable from the d=0.5at^2. Isolate the t and the equation now becomes \sqrt{(2d)/a}. Solving the equation where d=8 and a=9.8 makes the time \sqrt{(2*8)/9.8}=1.355 seconds. With the second equation, the vi=0 m/s, the vf is unknown, a=9.8 m/s^2 and t=1.355 sec. Substitute all these values into the equation vf-vi=at, this makes it vf-0=9.8(1.355). This means that the vf=13.28 m/s.

A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of sound is 342 m/sm/s . When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tun
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A) beats per second she will hear if she now plays the note A as the tuning fork is sounded = 5.13 beats per second

B) length she needs to extend the "tuning joint" of her flute to be in tune with the tuning fork = 0.0045m

Explanation:

A) First of all, wavelength = v/f

Where v is speed of wave and f is frequency.

Thus, wavelength of the sound wave of Note A is;

f2 = 440 Hz and v = 342m/s

λ = 342/440 = 0.7773m

Now, since the air inside the note was warmed after a while, the wave will will have a new frequency which we'll call (f1) and and new speed (v'), thus;

f2 = v'/λ = 346/0.7773 = 445.13 Hz

Now let's calculate beat frequency(fbeat).

fbeat = (f1 - f2)

So fbeat = 445.13 - 440 = 5.13Hz or 5.13 beats per second

B) Now, frequency of standing wave models (fm) = n(v/2L)

Where n is a positive integer and L is the open tube length

Making L the subject of the formula, we have; L = nv/2fm

Now from earlier derivation, we see that v = fλ and in this case, v=fλ

Thus, let's replace v with fλ to het;

L = nλ/2

If we take, n=1, L = (1 x 0.7773)/2 = 0.3887m

Now, when the air inside the tube has warmed, it will have a new length to eliminate beats and give same frequency of 440Hz.

So let's call this new length L1;

So L1 = v'/2(f2) = 346/(2x440) = 346/880 = 0.3932m

So the length she needs to extend the "tuning joint" of her flute to be in tune with the tuning fork will be;

ΔL = L1 - L = 0.3932 - 0.3887 = 0.0045m

Find the equivalent resistance of this
MAXImum [283]

Explanation:

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/ R2

1/R = 1/960 + 1/640

1/R = 5 / 1920

<h3> R = 384 ohm </h3>

So , Req = 384 + R3

Req = 384 + 180

<h3> Req = 564 ohm</h3>
