One of the harmonics of a column of air in a tube that is open at one end and closed at the other has a frequency of 448 hz, and

the next higher harmonic has a frequency of 576 hz. what is the fundamental frequency of the air column in this tube?

The general formula for the frequency of the nth-harmonic of the column of air in the tube is given by
f_n = n f_1
where f1 is the fundamental frequency.

In our problem, we have two harmonics, one of order n and the other one of order (n+1) (because it is the next higher harmonic), so their frequencies are
f_n = n f_1
f_{n+1} = (n+1) f_1
so their  difference is
f_{n+1} - f_n = (n+1) f_1 - n f_1 = (n+1-n) f_1 = f_1

So, the difference between the frequencies of the two harmonics is just the fundamental frequency of the column of air in the tube, which is:
f_1 = 576 Hz - 448 Hz = 128 Hz

A racecar experiences a centripetal acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 as it travels at a constant speed of 27.0 m/s along a circular arc
alexdok [17]

Answer:

20.25 m

Explanation:

  • <u>Centripetal acceleration </u>is given by; the square of the velocity, divided by the radius of the circular path.

That is;

         <em><u>ac = v²/r</u></em>

<em>         </em><em><u> Where; ac = acceleration, centripetal, m/s², v is the velocity, m/s and r is the  radius, m</u></em>

Therefore;

r = v²/ac

  = 27²/36

  = 20.25 m

Hence the radius is 20.25 meters

An airplane flies with a constant speed of
mafiozo [28]
The airplane is traveling 620mph, or 620m/60 minutes

Divide 270 by 60 to find the number of hours the plane is flying.
270/60 = 4.5

The plane will fly for 4.5 hours. Speed * time = Distance (make sure units are the same)
620mph*4.5hr = 2,790 miles

hot water is added to three times its mass of water at 10 degree celsius and the resulting temperature is 20 degrees Celsius Wha
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The initial temperature of the hot water is 50\; \rm ^{\circ} C (assuming that no heat was lost to the surroundings.)

Explanation:

Let m denote the mass of the hot water.

The question states that the mass of the water at 10\; \rm ^\circ C is three times the mass of the hot water. If the mass of the hot water is m, the mass of the cold water would be 3\, m.

Let c denote the specific heat capacity of water. Let m denote the mass of some water. The energy required to change the temperature of that much water by \Delta T (without state change) would be:

Q = c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T.

The temperature change for the cold water was:

\Delta T_1 = 20\; \rm ^{\circ} C - 10\; \rm ^{\circ} C = 10\; \rm K.

Energy required to raise the temperature of water with mass 3\, m from 10\; \rm ^{\circ} C to 20\; \rm ^{\circ} C:

Q_1 = c \cdot (3\, m) \cdot (10\; \rm K).

On the other hand, if the initial temperature of the hot water is t\; \rm ^{\circ} C (where t > 20,) the temperature change would be:

\Delta T_2 = t\; {\rm ^{\circ} C} - 20\; {\rm ^{\circ} C} = (t - 20)\; {\rm K}.

Calculate the energy change involved:

Q_2 = c \cdot m \cdot ((t - 20)\; \rm K).

If no energy was lost to the surroundings, Q_1 should be equal to Q_2. That is:

c \cdot (3\, m) \cdot (10\; {\rm K}) = c\cdot m \cdot ((t - 20)\; {\rm K}).

Simplify and solve for t:

t - 20 = 30.

t = 50.

Therefore, the initial temperature of the hot water would be 50\; {\rm ^\circ C}.

A 0.140 kg baseball is thrown with a velocity of 33.6 m/s. It is struck with an average force of 5000.0 N, which results in a ve
timama [110]

Answer:

0.00198 secs

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of baseball, m = 0.14 kg

Initial velocity of baseball, u = 33.6 m/s

Force applied to baseball, F = -5000 N

(The force is applied in an opposite direction to the initial velocity)

Final velocity, v = -37 m/s

Using the impulse-momentum theory, we have that the impulse applied to the baseball is equal to the change in momentum of the baseball:

FΔt = m(v - u)

Time interval, Δt, will be given as:

Δt = \frac{m(v - u)}{F}

Δt = \frac{0.14(-37.0  - 33.6)}{-5000}

Δt = \frac{0.14 * -70.6}{-5000}

Δt = \frac{-9.884}{5000}

Δt = 0.00198 secs

The bat and the baseball were in contact for 0.00198 secs.
