An old mining tunnel disappears into a hillside. You would like to know how long the tunnel is, but it's too dangerous to go ins

ide. Recalling your recent physics class, you decide to try setting up standing-wave resonances inside the tunnel. Using your subsonic amplifier and loudspeaker, you find resonances at 5.0 and 6.4 , and at no frequencies between these. It's rather chilly inside the tunnel, so you estimate the sound speed to be 340 .Based on your measurements, how far is it to the end of the tunnel?

Answer:

121.43 m

Explanation:

Solution

Since standing waves are set up, the expression for the first mode of frequency is f₁ = nv/4L. The next mode of frequency is f₂ = (n + 2)v/4L where L is the length of the tunnel and v the speed of sound. f₁ = 5.0 Hz, f₂ = 6.4 Hz, v = 340 m/s. We now subtract f₂ - f₁ = (n + 2)v/4L - nv/4L = v/2L.

So f₂ - f₁ = v/2L. and L = v/2(f₂ - f₁) = 340/[2× (6.4-5.0)] = 340/2×1.4 = 340/2.8 = 121.43 m

So, it is 121.43 m far to the end of the tunnel.

How does chronic stress physically change the brain?
DIA [1.3K]

Chronic stress can physically change the brain by:

- Chronic stress has the ability to shrink the brain. It has the ability to harm one’s person learning capacity by being able to reduce the volume of the gray matter that is a major component in a person’s brain. It is also able to harm the memory of the person.

Fluid clutches are used on equipment that is subjected to?
mamaluj [8]
Fluid clutches are used on equipment that is subjected to higher torque per unit volume. This type of clutch makes use of an incompressible fluid like oil in order to transfer the input of a movement from a pedal and cylinder to an actuating cylinder. Releasing the this clutch would stop the transfer of power but still allowing the engine to turn continuously.

Which of the following atoms is least likely to form chemical bonds with other atoms
wariber [46]
The atom that would least likely form chemical bonds with other atoms would be C. A neon containing 4 valence electrons, this is because neon itself is an inert gas, it would not necessarily react as it already possess the maximum number of electrons needed to achieve stability and have a full octet, even if it is forced to obtain 4 valence electrons it would not react with other atoms.
