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

Arrange the following substances in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy.
kolbaska11 [484]
The formula is F = ( q1 * q2 ) / r ^ 2 
<span>where: q is the individual charges of each ion </span>
<span>r is the distance between the nuclei </span>
<span>The formula is not important but to explain the relationship between the atoms in the compounds and their lattice energy. </span>

<span>From the formula we can first conclude that compounds of ions with greater charges will have a greater lattice energy. This is a direct relationship. </span>
<span>For example, the compounds BaO and SrO, whose ions' charges are ( + 2 ) and ( - 2 ) respectively for each, will have greater lattice energies that the compounds NaF and KCl, whose ions' charges are ( + 1 ) and ( - 1 ) respectively for each. </span>

<span>So Far: ( BaO and SrO ) > ( NaF and KCl ) </span>

<span>The second part required you find the relative distance between the atoms of the compounds. Really, the lattice energy is stronger with smaller atoms, an indirect relationship. </span>
<span>For example, in NaF the ions are smaller than the ions in KCl so it has a greater lattice energy. Because Sr is smaller than Ba, SrO has a greater lattice energy than BaO. </span>

<span>Therefore: </span>
<span>Answer: SrO > BaO > NaF > KCl </span>

a person does 100 joules of work in pulling back the string of a bow. what will be the initial speed of a 0.5 kg arrow when it i
eduard

If all the energy she put into bending the bow is completely
transmitted to the arrow, then the arrow has the 100 joules
of kinetic energy when it leaves the bow.

                 Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                         100 J        = (1/2) (0.5 kg) (speed²)

Divide each side by 0.25 kg:    100 J / 0.25 kg = speed²

 [ joule ] = [ newton-meter ] = kg-m²/sec²

                                                100 kg-m²/sec² / 0.25 kg = speed²

                                                 400 m²/sec² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:     speed = √400 m/s

                                                                                20 m/s

                                                                    (about 44.7 mph)
