A resonance tube can be used to measured the speed of sound in air. A tuning fork is held above the opening of the tube and stru

ck, while the far end of the tube is lengthened or shortened. Resonances (loudnesses) are heard at a series of tube lengths, L, which are carefully measured.
resonance tube

The speed of sound in air is determined by measuring the distance between two consecutive resonances. A data set for a tuning fork with a frequency of 320 Hz are L1 = 25.8 cm; L2 = 78.4 cm; and L3 = 131.1 cm. Based on these data, what is the speed of sound in air?

Hint: the opening at the top is an antinode while the water surface is a node. Therefore, what fraction of a full wave is L1? What fractions are L2 and L3?

Answer:

330.24 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency, f = 320 Hz

L1 = 25.8 cm

L2 = 78.4 cm

L3 = 131.1 cm

Let the wavelength be λ

Then, L1 which is the length of the column of air is  λ/4.

λ/4 = 25.8 cm

λ = 25.8 × 4 = 103.2 cm = 1.032 m

Then, speed of sound in air is:

v = λ f

⇒ v = 1.032 × 320 Hz

⇒ v = 330.24 m/s

Tennis balls experience a large drag force. A tennis ball is hit so that it goes up and then comes back straight down.
Effectus [21]

A tennis ball is hit by a large force so that it goes up into the air and then it comes back straight down because of gravity.

<h3>How object move upward and downward?</h3>

We know that objects move upward due to application of force on it while on the other hand, object comes to the ground because of the attraction of earth which we called gravity.

So we can conclude that a tennis ball is hit by a large force so that it goes up into the air and then it comes back straight down because of gravity.

ANALOGY, Metal ions: buoys, as electrons: _____.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a. water

Explanation:

A buoy is a floating object that is used in the sea to locate some point or as a checkpoint. It stays at its designated position in the sea by means of an anchor chain. This chain is made short in length according to the water depth do the buoy can not deviate much from its position. The same mechanism can be applied to the metal ion. When a metal ion is formed it remains at its place, but the electrons are mobile and they travel when they get a medium. For example in circuits or from one atom to other. And for the case of buoy, the water serves as electrons as the water is moving in the medium. Hence, the second analogy will be:

electrons : water

So, the correct option is:

<u>a. water</u>
