A 60 kilogram student jumps down from a laboratory counter. At the instant he lands on the floor hus speed is 3 meters per secon

erastovalidia [21]

As per Newton's law rate of change in momentum is net force

so we can write it as

$F = \frac{dP}{dt}$

$F = \frac{m(v_f - v_i)}{\Delta t}$

now we know that

$m = 60 kg$

$v_f = 3 m/s$

$v_i = 0$

$\Delta t= 0.2 s$

from above equation

$F = \frac{60(3 - 0)}{0.2} = 900 N$

so he will experience 900 N force in above case

A trombone plays a C3 note. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and the wavelength of this note is

Umnica [9.8K]

The frequency of note C3 is 131 $s^{-1}$ .

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency is the measure of repetition of same thing a certain number of times. So frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. As wavelength is distance between two successive crests or troughs in a sound wave.

And frequency is the completion of number of cycles in a given time in sound waves. The frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other with velocity of sound being the proportionality constant.

Thus, here the speed of sound is given as 343 m/s, the wavelength of the note is also given as 2.62 m, then frequency will be as follows:

$Frequency=\frac{speed of sound}{Wavelength of note}$

Thus,

$Frequency = \frac{343 m/s}{2.62 m} = 131 s^{-1}$

So the frequency of note C3 is 131 $s^{-1}$ .
