Answer:

f=2887.93Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Length L=2.9 cm=0.029m

Speed of sound v=335 m/s

to find

Fundamental frequency f

Solution

As we know that frequency is given as:

f=v/λ

f=\frac{v}{4L}\\ f=\frac{335m/s}{4(0.029m)} \\ f=2887.93Hz

Take the formula:
K=5/9(Fahrenheit-32)+273
Plug in Fahrenheit
K=5/9 (60-32)+273
From here it is simple math and you can plug it into your calculator getting 288.5555556 and round to 289

A student on an amusement park ride moves in circular path with a radius of 3.5 m once every 4.5 s. What is the tangential veloc
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

the tangential velocity of the student is 4.89 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

the radius of the circular path, r = 3.5 m

duration of the motion, t = 4.5 s

let the student's tangential velocity = v

The tangential velocity of the student is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{2\pi r}{t} \\\\v = \frac{2 \pi \times 3.5}{4.5} \\\\v = 4.89 \ m/s

Therefore, the tangential velocity of the student is 4.89 m/s.

A school bus has a mass (including the driver and passengers) of 1.64 times 10^4 kg and is driving north at a speed of 15.2 km/h
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bus along with travelers travelling in North direction is m_1=1.6\times 10^4 kg

speed of bus towards North v_1=15.2 km/h\approx 4.22\ m/s

mass of bus travelling in South direction is m_2=1.578\times 10^4 kg

speed of bus v_2=12.2 km/h\approx 3.38\ m/s

mass of each Passenger in south moving bus m_0=64.8 kg

Momentum of North moving bus

P_1=m_1\times v_1

P_1=1.6\times 10^4\times 4.22

P_1=6.768\times 10^4 kg-m/s

Momentum with south moving bus

P_2=m_2\times v_2+n\cdot m_0\times v_2

P_2=(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38

For total momentum to be towards south

P_2-P_1 should be greater than 0

thus for least value of n

P_2=P_1

(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38=6.768\times 10^4

1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8=2.0023\times 10^4

n=\frac{4243.6686}{64.8}=65.48\approx 66

The human ear canal is about 2.9 cm long and can be regarded as a tube open at one end and closed at the eardrum. What is the fu
solniwko [45]

The frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Explanation:

As the ear canal is like a tube with open at one end, the wavelength of sound passing through this tube will propagate 4 times its length of the tube. So wavelength of the sound wave will be equal to four times the length of the tube. Then the frequency can be easily determined by finding the ratio of velocity of sound to wavelength. As the velocity of sound is given as 339 m/s, then the wavelength of the sound wave propagating through the ear canal is  

Wavelength=4*Length of the ear canal

As length of the ear canal is given as 2.9 cm, it should be converted into meter as follows:

wavelength = 4*2.9*10^{-2} =0.116

Then the frequency is determined as

f=c/λ=339/0.116=2922 Hz=2.92 kHz.

So, the frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.
