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

Why does the spectroscopic parallax method only work for main sequence stars?.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Only main sequence stars have a well-defined relationship between spectral type and luminosity.

Explanation:

Low-mass stars have much longer lifetimes than high-mass stars.

A race car makes one lap around a track of radius 50 m in 9.0 s. What is the average velocity? *
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Given that,

Radius of track, r = 50 m

time , t = 9 s

velocity, v = ?

Distance covered by car in one lap around a track is equal to the circumference of the track.

C = 2 π r = 2 * 3.14 * 50

C = 314.159 m

Distance covered by car, s = 314.159 m

Velocity = distance/ time

V = 314.159 / 9

V = 34.9 m/s

The average velocity of car is 34.9 m/s.

Raindrops acquire an electric charge as they fall. Suppose a 2.4-mm-diameter drop has a charge of +18 pC, fairly typical values.
muminat

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the potential, defined from the Coulomb laws for which it is defined as the product between the Coulomb constant and the load, over the distance that separates the two objects. Mathematically this is

V = \frac{kq}{r}

k = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge

r = Distance between them

q = 18 pC \rightarrow q = 1.8*10^-11 C

d = 2.4mm \rightarrow r = 1.2 mm = 1.2*10^-3 m

Replacing,

V = \frac{kq}{r}

V = \frac{ (9*10^9)*(1.8*10^{-11})}{(1.2*10^{-3})}

V = 135 V

Therefore the potential at the surface of the raindrop is 135 V
