(a) 7.62 \times 10^{-5} m is the wavelength in air of such a sound wave.

(b) 3.33 \times 10^{-4}\ m is the wavelength of this wave in tissue.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency and wavelength can be related by the equation,

              Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

              v=\lambda \times f

where,

v - velocity of light for all EM (electromagnetic) waves in vacuum

Given:

f - 4.50 MHz = 4.50 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{Hz}

a) To find the wavelength in air

We know,

Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

Apply given frequency and speed of sound in air, we get

        \lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=76.2 \times 10^{-6}=7.62 \times 10^{-5}\ \mathrm{m}

b) If the speed of sound in tissue is 1500 m/s, find the wavelength of this wave in tissue

Speed of sound in tissue, v = 1500 m/s

        \lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1500}{4.5 \times 10^{6}}=333.33 \times 10^{-6}=3.33 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{m}

The initial potential energy of the wagon containing gold boxes will enable

it roll down the hill when cut loose.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto have approximately <u>5.1 seconds</u>.

Reasons:

Mass wagon and gold = 166 kg

Location of the wagon = 77 meters up the hill

Slope of the hill = 8°

Location of the rangers = 41 meters from the canyon

Mass of Lone Ranger, m₁ = 65 kg

Mass of Tonto m₂ = 66 kg

Solution;

Height of the wagon above the level ground, h = 77 m × sin(8°) ≈ 10.72 m

Potential energy = m·g·h

Where;

g = Acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Potential energy of wagon, P.E. ≈ 166 × 9.81 × 10.72 = 17457.0912

Potential energy of wagon, P.E. ≈ 17457.0912 J

By energy conservation, P.E. = K.E.

K.E. = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v^2}

Where;

v = The velocity of the wagon a the bottom of the cliff

Therefore;

\dfrac{1}{2} \times 166 \times v^2 = 17457.0912

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{17457.0912}{\dfrac{1}{2} \times 166} } \approx 14.5

Velocity of the wagon, v ≈ 14.5 m/s

Momentum = Mass, m × Velocity, v

Initial momentum of wagon = m·v

Final momentum of wagon and ranger = (m + m₁ + m₂)·v'

By conservation of momentum, we have;

m·v = (m + m₁ + m₂)·v'

\therefore v' = \mathbf{ \dfrac{m \cdot v}{(m + m_1 + m_2)  }}

Which gives;

\therefore v' = \dfrac{166 \times 14.5}{(166 + 65 + 66)  } \approx 8.1

The velocity of the wagon after the Ranger and Tonto drop in, v' ≈ 8.1 m/s

Time = \dfrac{Distance}{Velocity}

\mathrm{The \ time \ the\ Lone \  Ranger \  and  \ Tonto \  have,  \ t} = \dfrac{41 \, m}{8.1 \, m/s} \approx 5.1 \, s

The Lone Range and Tonto have approximately <u>5.1 seconds</u> to grab the

gold and jump out of the wagon before the wagon heads over the cliff.
