A tube is open only at one end. A certain harmonic produced by the tube has a frequency of 571 Hz. The next higher harmonic has

a frequency of 799 Hz. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. (a) What is the integer n that describes the harmonic whose frequency is 571 Hz? (b) What is the length of the tube?
B. A person hums into the top of a well (tube open at only one end) and finds that standing waves are established at frequencies of 36.1, 60.2, and 84.2 Hz. The frequency of 36.1 Hz is not necessarily the fundamental frequency. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. How deep is the well?

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(a) The integer n that describes the harmonic whose frequency is 571 Hz is 5

(b) The length of the tube is 0.75 m.

B. The depth of the well is 7.12 m.

Explanation:

The nth harmonic of a tube with one end closed is given by

$f_n = n(\frac{v}{4L})$ and the next harmonic is

$f_{n+2} =(n+2)(\frac{v}{4L} )$

Therefore ividing the first two equations by each other we have

$\frac{f_{n+2}}{f_n} = \frac{n+2}{n}$ from which n = $\frac{2}{\frac{f_{n+2}}{f_n} -1}$

Therefore the interger that descries the first harmonic is

n = $\frac{2}{\frac{799}{571} -1}$ = 5

(b) We have the length of the pipe given by

L = 5λ/4 but λ = v/f = 343/571 = 0.6 ∴ L = 5*0.6/4 = 0.75 m

B. From n = $\frac{2}{\frac{f_{n+2}}{f_n} -1}$ we have

n for the 36.1 Hz frequency

n = $\frac{2}{\frac{60.2}{36.1} -1}$ = 3 Therefore λ = v/f = 343/36.1 = 9.5 m

L = 3*λ/4 = 3*9.5/4 = 7.12 m

The well is 7.12 m deep

a microwave uses a 14 a of electricity if 120 v is run through it what is the resistance of the microwave

Airida [17]

Resistance = voltage / current.

That's. 120v / 14A = 8.57 ohms.

By the way, voltage doesn't "run through" anything. Current does. That would be the 14 Amps.

Sami pops a helium balloon at a birthday party. What will happen to the particles of helium that were in the balloon?

Anit [1.1K]

They will mix with air. Air consists mostly of nitrogen and oxygen but there are also traces of CO2 and noble gases in air, and helium is one of those noble gases.

The greatest speed with which an athlete can jump vertically is around 5 m/sec. Determine the speed at which Earth would move do

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Approximately $2.0 \times 10^{-23}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ if that athlete jumped up at $1.8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . (Assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ .)

Explanation:

The momentum $p$ of an object is the product of its mass $m$ and its velocity $v$ . That is: $p = m \cdot v$ .

Before the jump, the speed of the athlete and the earth would be zero (relative to each other.) That is: $v(\text{athlete, before}) = 0$ and $v(\text{earth, before}) = 0$ . Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}& p(\text{athlete, before}) = 0\end{aligned}$ and $p(\text{earth, before}) = 0$ .

Assume that there is no force from outside of the earth (and the athlete) acting on the two. Momentum should be conserved at the instant that the athlete jumped up from the earth.

Before the jump, the sum of the momentum of the athlete and the earth was zero. Because momentum is conserved, the sum of the momentum of the two objects after the jump should also be zero. That is:

$\begin{aligned}& p(\text{athlete, after}) + p(\text{earth, after}) \\ & =p(\text{athlete, before}) + p(\text{earth, before}) \\ &= 0\end{aligned}$ .

Therefore:

$p(\text{athelete, after}) = - p(\text{earth, after})$ .

$\begin{aligned}& m(\text{athlete}) \cdot v(\text{athelete, after}) \\ &= - m(\text{earth}) \cdot v(\text{earth, after})\end{aligned}$ .

Rewrite this equation to find an expression for $v(\text{earth, after})$ , the speed of the earth after the jump:

$\begin{aligned} &v(\text{earth, after}) \\ &= -\frac{m(\text{athlete}) \cdot v(\text{athlete, after})}{m(\text{earth})} \end{aligned}$ .

The mass of the athlete needs to be calculated from the weight of this athlete. Assume that the gravitational field strength is $g = 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ .

$\begin{aligned}& m(\text{athlete}) = \frac{664\; \rm N}{9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 67.686\; \rm N\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate $v(\text{earth, after})$ using $m(\text{earth})$ and $v(\text{athlete, after})$ values from the question:

$\begin{aligned} &v(\text{earth, after}) \\ &= -\frac{m(\text{athlete}) \cdot v(\text{athlete, after})}{m(\text{earth})} \\ &\approx -2.0 \times 10^{-23}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

The negative sign suggests that the earth would move downwards after the jump. The speed of the motion would be approximately $2.0 \times 10^{-23}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

18. Two spaceships are traveling in the same direction. With respect to an inertial frame of reference, spaceship A has a speed

quester [9]

Answer:

$v_{A} -v_{B}=v_{AB}\\v_{AB} =0.9c-0.5c\\v_{AB}=0.4c$

Explanation:

Because the spaceships are traveling in the same direction, you should subtract the speed of spaceship A from the speed of spaceship B in order to calculate $v_{AB}$ .
