If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, what is the shortest wavelength of sound that humans can hear?

We know, Wavelength = speed / frequency

Highest frequency (normally that humans can hear) = 20 KHz
= 20,000 Hz (for shortest wavelength)

Speed = 343 m/s

Substitute their values,
wavelength = 343 / 20,000
w = 0.01715

In short, Your Answer would be: 0.01715 m

Hope this helps!

F = 1/T = 20,000 so T = 1/20,000
<span>distance = speed * time </span>
<span>L = 343 T </span>
<span>L = 343/20,000 </span>
<span>L =. 01715 meters or about 1.7 centimeters</span>

telo118 [61]

Answer:

TA is greater than TB

$T_{A}$ > $T_{B}$

Explanation:

Specific heat at constant pressure $C_{p}$ is greater than specific heat at constant volume $C_{v}$ .Therefore for given amount of supplied heat,increase in temperature at constant volume is greater than increase in temperature at constant pressure

Hence

TA is greater than TB

$T_{A}$ > $T_{B}$

A long, thin solenoid has 390 turns per meter and a radius of 1.20 cm. The current in the solenoid is increasing at a uniform ra

gtnhenbr [62]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Faraday's law and the induced emf.

By definition the induced electromotive force is defined as

$\int E dl = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}$

$\int E dl = -(\frac{dB}{dt})A$

Where,

$\phi =$ Electric field

B = Magnetic Field

A = Area

At the theory the magnetic field is defined as,

$B = \mu_0 NI$

Where,

N = Number of loops

I = current

$\mu_0 =$ Permeability constant

We know also that the cross sectional area, is the area from a circle, and the length is equal to the perimeter then

A = \pi r^2

l = 2\pi r

Replacing at the previous equation we have that

$E (2\pi r) = \mu_0 n (\frac{di}{dt})(\pi R^2)$

Where,

R = Radius of the solenoid

r = The distance from the axis

Re-arrange to find the current in function of time,

$\frac{di}{dt} = \frac{Er}{\mu_0 NR^2}$

Replacing our values we have

$\frac{di}{dt} = \frac{(8.00*10^{-6})(0.0348)}{(4\pi*10^{-7})(390)(1.2*10^-2)^2}$

$\frac{di}{dt} = 3.94487A/s$

Suppose 310. grams of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is in an aluminum cup of 90.0 grams. Both of these are at 30.0C. A mass m of ice a

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of ethanol $m_e=310\ gm$

mass of aluminium cup $m_{al}=90\ gm$

both are at an initial temperature of $T_i=30^{\circ}C$

specific heat of ethanol $c_e=2.46\ J/g-K$

specific heat of aluminium $c_{al}=0.9\ J/g-K$

specific heat of ice $c_i=2.108\ J/g-K$

specific heat of water $c_w=4.184\ J/g-K$

Latent heat of fusion $L=334\ J/gm$

suppose m is the mass of ice added

Heat loss by Al cup and ethanol after $18^{\circ}C$ is reached

$Q_1=(310\times 2.46+90\times 0.9)\cdot (30-18)$

Heat gained by ice such that ice is melted and reached a temperature of $18^{\circ}C$

$Q_2=m\times 2.108\times (8.5)+m\times 334$

Comparing 1 and 2 we get

$m=23.65\ gm$

Thus 23.65 gm of ice is added
