A tuning fork is held over a resonance tube, and resonance occurs when the surface of the water is 12 cm below the top of the tu

be. Resonance occurs again when the water is 34 cm below the top of the tube. If the air temperature is 23 degrees Celsius, find the frequency of the tuning fork.

Answer:

786 Hz

Explanation:

Recall, the speed of sound is

v = 332 + 0.6t

Where t = 23°

v = 332 + 0.6(23)

v = 332 + 13.8

v = 345.8 m

Also, it is known that distance between two consecutive resonance length is half of the wavelength.

L2 - L1 = λ/2

34 - 12 = λ/2

λ/2 = 22

λ = 44 cm

Finally, remember that also

Frequency = speed/ wavelength

Frequency = 345.8/0.4

Frequency = 786 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the tuning fork is 786 Hz

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
Wewaii [24]
The correct option is A.
Fluorescent lamps have many advantages over incandescent lamps and the options given in B, C and D are part of these advantages. The option given in A is a disadvantage and not an advantage. This is because, as a result of operating at an higher temperature, it will gives out and radiate more heat.

Which of the following phenomena are due to the electric interaction? (Select all that apply.) surface tension in water friction
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Surface tension in water

Friction between tires and pavement

Dissolution of salt in water

Explanation:

Surface tension in water: It is due to the electrostatic force of attraction (cohesive force) between water molecules.

Friction between tires and pavement: It is due to the attractive force between tires and pavement.

Dissolution of salt in water: The ions of Na ^ + and Cl ^ - separate due to the strong attraction of water molecules.

What is the kinetic theory of matter? How does it relate to the motion of molecules?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy that an object has because of its motion. The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the forces between molecules and the energy that they possess. This theory is based on three theories about matter. Matter is composed of small particles (atoms, molecules, and ions).

A shopping cart given an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s undergoes a constant acceleration to a velocity of 13 m/s. What is the magn
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The acceleration is a = 2.75 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use kinematics equations.

v_{f} = v_{i} + a*t\\

where:

Vf = final velocity = 13 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 2 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 4 [s]

Now replacing:

13 = 2 + (4*a)

(13 - 2) = 4*a

a = 2.75 [m/s^2]

This question is incomplete; here is the complete question:

Marco is conducting an experiment. He knows the wave that he is working with has a wavelength of 32.4 cm. If he measures the frequency as 3 hertz, which statement about the wave is accurate?

A. The wave has traveled 32.4 cm in 3 seconds.

B. The wave has traveled 32.4 cm in 9 seconds.

C. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 3 seconds.

D. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 1 second.

The answer to this question is D. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 1 second.

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave, which is in this case 3 hertz, represents the number of waves that go through a point during 1 second. According to this, if the frequency of the wave is 3 hertz this means in 1 second there were 3 waves. Moreover, if you multiply the wavelength (32.4cm) by the frequency (3) you will know the distance the wave traveled in 1 second: 32.4 x 3 =  97.2 cm. This makes option D the correct one as the distance in 1 second was 97.2 cm.
