To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. Momentum can be defined as the product between mass and velocity. We will depart to facilitate the understanding of the demonstration, considering the initial and final momentum separately, but for conservation, they will be later matched. Thus we will obtain the value of the mass. Our values will be defined as

m_1 = m

m_2 = M

v_{1i} =v_0

v_{2i} = 0

Initial momentum will be

P_i = m_iv_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}

P_i = mv_0

After collision

v_{1f} = v_{2f} = \frac{v_0}{3}

Final momentum

P_f = (m_1+m_2)(\frac{v_0}{3})

P_f = (m+M)(\frac{v_0}{3})

From conservation of momentum

P_f = P_i

Replacing,

(m+M)(\frac{v_0}{3})=mv_0

(m+M)\frac{1}{3} = m

m+M=3m

M=3m-m

M=2m

Unless indicated otherwise, assume the speed of sound in air to be v = 344 m/s. A pipe closed at both ends can have standing wav
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

68.8 Hz

137.6 Hz, 206.4 Hz

Explanation:

L = Length of tube = 2.5 m

v = Velocity of sound in air = 344 m/s

Distance between nodes is given by

L=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}+m\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\lambda(n+1)}{2}=L\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{2L}{n+1}

Where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

Making n+1 = n

\lambda=\dfrac{2L}{n}

where n = 1, 2, 3 .....

For fundamental frequency n = 1

\lambda=\dfrac{2\times 2.5}{1}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=5\ m

Frequency is given by

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{344}{5}\\\Rightarrow f=68.8\ Hz

The fundamental frequency is 68.8 Hz

First overtone

2f=2\times 68.8=137.6\ Hz

Second overtone

3f=3\times 68.8=206.4\ Hz

The overtones are 137.6 Hz, 206.4 Hz

The human body is a system of systems that rely on each other to sustain a life. Explain how.
Misha Larkins [42]
The human body is connected in every way. All the organs are connected and help each other be alive. For example, the veins are connected to the heart, which help it by pumping blood and oxygen. If they weren’t there, the heart wouldn’t be able to sustain a life.
I really hope this gave you and ideas and helped you in some way:)
