Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

d=v_x t

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4.0 m is the initial height

vy is the initial vertical velocity

We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy

0=h+v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\v_y = \frac{0.5gt^2-h}{t}=\frac{0.5(9.8 m/s^2)(1.3 s)^2-4.0 m}{1.3 s}=3.3 m/s

So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(2.3 m/s)^2+(3.3 m/s)^2}=4.0 m/s

Two guitarists attempt to play the same note of wavelength 6.48 cmcm at the same time, but one of the instruments is slightly ou
k0ka [10]

The answer is λ₂ = 6.48 cm or  6.52 cm.

The out-of-tune guitar may have a wavelength between "6.48 cm" and "6.52 cm."

fb = |f2 − f1|

f₁ = 343/0.064

= 5276Hz

f₂ = 5276.9 Hz ± 17 Hz

f₂ = 5293.9 Hz or 5259.9 Hz

Now, calculating the possible wavelengths:

λ = 343/ 5259.9  or 343/ 5293.9

λ₂ = 6.48 cm or 6.52 cm

<h3>Why is beat frequency important?</h3>

When two waves with almost identical frequencies traveling in the same direction collide at a certain location, beats are produced. The opposing beneficial and harmful disruption causes the sound to alternatively be loud and weak whenever two sound waves with different frequencies reach your ear. This is referred to as beating.

The entire value of the frequency difference between the two waves is the beat frequency.

The following formula yields the beat frequency:

fb = |f2 − f1|

Which of the following choices defines energy in scientific terms?
snow_tiger [21]
1) B. Energy is the ability to do work

2) C. Energy is conserved, it just goes from one form to another.

3) Work = Force x displacement
= 300 x 100 = 30,000 Joules

4) leaning a brick because no displacement is taking place.

5) They change the amount/strength or direction of the force needed.

6) Less force is needed and applied over a longer distance.

7) Heat is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another.
