A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. the oscillator that generates the wave completes 46.0 vibrations in 26.0 s. a given c

rest of the wave travels 415 cm along the rope in a time period of 11.7 s. what is the wavelength? answer in units of m.

The crest of the wave has traveled 415 cm in 11.7s. then the crest should have travelled 415/11.7 cm in one second i.e. 35.47cm. Then the crest should have travelled 26*35.47 cm in 26 seconds i.e. 922.2cm which has 46 vibrations in it.
so for length of each vibration (Wavelength) is 20 cm

Q11:A police car in hot pursuit goes speeding past you. While the siren is approaching, the frequency of the sound you hear is 5
natulia [17]

Answer:

   v_s = 34.269 m / s

Explanation:

This is a Doppler effect exercise, in this case the observer is fixed and the sound source is moving.

         f ’= f  \frac{v}{v  \mp v_s  }

where the negative sign is used for when the source approaches the observer and the positive sign for when the source moves away from the observer

In this case when f ’= 5500 Hz approaches and when f’ = 4500 Hz moves away, let's write the two expressions together

          5500 = f (\frac{v}{v - v_s })

          4500 = f ( \frac{v}{v + vs})

let's solve these two equations

           \frac{5500}{4500}     = \frac{v+v_s}{v-v_s}

           1.222 (v-v_s) = v + v_s

            v_s (1+ 1.22) = v (1.222 -1)

            v_s = v   \frac{0.222}{2.223}

the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s

            v_s = 343 0.09990

 

             v_s = 34.269 m / s

The floor of the Atlantic Ocean is spreading slowly. It spreads at the rate of 1 to 10 centimeters per year. Why would it be use
In-s [12.5K]

C because...

Models represent objects, events, and processes in the real world.

Models are often used when an object, event, or process

occurs too slowly or too quickly;

is too small or too large;

is too complicated or too dangerous.

The ocean is spreading at such a slow rate that it would take scientists 50 or more years to collect enough meaningful data from the ocean floor to complete a study. Therefore, scientists use models in order to both predict how the floor will keep spreading and to understand what the ocean floor looked like thousands of years in the past.

que 2. Why do we keep frequency constant instead of keeping vibrating length constam second law of vibrating string?​
ella [17]

Answer:

The second law of a vibrating string states that for a transverse vibration in a stretched string, the frequency is directly proportional to the square root of the string's tension, when the vibrating string's mass per unit length and the vibrating length are kept constant

The law can be expressed mathematically as follows;

f = \dfrac{1}{2\cdot l} \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m} }

The second law of the vibrating string can be verified directly, however, the third law of the vibrating string states that frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass per unit length cannot be directly verified due to the lack of continuous variation in both the frequency, 'f', and the mass, 'm', simultaneously

Therefore, the law is verified indirectly, by rearranging the above equation as follows;

m = \dfrac{1}{ l^2} \cdot \dfrac{T}{4\cdot f^2} }

From which it can be shown that the following relation holds with the limits of error in the experiment

m₁·l₁² = m₂·l₂² = m₃·l₃² = m₄·l₄² = m₅·l₅²

•<br> 2.<br> particles penetrate through paper.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer: The penetrating power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays varies greatly. Alpha particles can be blocked by a few pieces of paper. Beta particles pass through paper and Gamma rays are the most difficult to stop and require concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding to block them.
