The speed of a falling object is not directly affected by mass. Air resistance is the deciding factor in the time is takes for an object to reach the ground. Two objects of different mass will accelerate at the same rate. This was discovered by Galileo. Newton's second law states that F=ma. This means that if both accelerate at the same rate, then the force acting on the objects must be different, and the greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity that is acting upon the object.

sergiy2304 [10]

Definition: Frequency is the measurement of the number of times that a repeated event occurs per unit of time. Sound moves through a medium such as air or water as waves. It is measured in terms of frequency and amplitude. Frequency, sometimes referred to as pitch, is the number of times per second that a sound pressure wave repeats itself.

You have a length of tubing that is closed at one end. You cut the tubing into two pieces of unequal length, giving you a tube o

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The funda mental frequency of the original tube is 182Hz.

Explanation:

See the attachment for the calculation steps.

In order to calculate the fundamental frequency of the original closed tube we need to find the length of the tube which is equal to the sum of the lengths of the two new tubes.

For closed tubes

f = nv/4L (n = 1, 3, 5,...n)

f = nv/2L (n = 1, 2, 3,...n)

The details of calculation can be found below in the attachment.
