How do scientists know our universe is older than 6500 years?

1 answer:

<span>This is because astronomers have discovered that the Crab Nebula is 6500 light years from earth. This means it takes 6500 earth years for light to get from the Crab Nebula to earth. Therefore, if we are able to observe the Crab Nebula and beyond it then it means that earth has been in existence for 6500 years and over. </span>

An organ pipe open at both ends has two successive harmonics with frequencies of 220 Hz and 240 Hz. What is the length of the pi

Harman [31]

Answer:

The length is $l = 8.6 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequencies of the two successive harmonics are $f_1 = 220 \ Hz$ , $f_2 = 240 \ Hz$

The speed of sound in the air is $v_s = 343 \ m/s$

Generally the frequency of a given harmonic is mathematically represented as

$f_n = \frac{n v }{2l}$

Here n defines the position of the harmonics

Now since the position of both harmonic is not know but we know that they successive then we can represented them mathematically as

$220 = \frac{n v}{2l}$

and

$240 = \frac{(n+1) v}{2l}$

So

$\frac{(n + 1 ) v}{2l} - \frac{n v}{2l} = 240-220$

=> $\frac{v}{2l} = 20$

=> $l = 8.6 \ m$

A student wearing a frictionless roller skates on a horizontal is pushed by a friend with a constant force of 55N. How far must

umka21 [38]

Answer:

6.58m

Explanation:

The kinetic energy = Workdone on the roller

Workdone = Force * distance

Given

KE = Workdone = 362J

Force = 55N

Required

Distance

Substitute into the formula;

Workdone = Force * distance

362 = 55d

d = 362/55

d = 6.58m

Hence the student must push at a distance of 6.58m
