Answer:

λ = 4.9 m

Explanation:

given,

length of the organ pipe,L = 2.45 m

wavelength of the standing wave = ?

fundamental harmonic is given as,

$L= \dfrac{\lambda}{2}$

$\lambda= 2 \times L$

$\lambda= 2 \times 2.45$

λ = 4.9 m

Hence, the wavelength of the fundamental harmonic for standing waves in this shower is given by λ = 4.9 m

Answer:

4.9 m

Explanation:

Length of the pipe , L = 2.45 m

It behaves like an open organ pipe.

For the fundamental frequency

λ/2 = L

Where, λ be the wavelength of the standing waves produced in th eorgan pipe.

λ = 2 x L

λ = 2 x 2.45

λ = 4.9 m

Thus, the wavelength is 4.9 m.

A wheel with moment of inertia 25 kg. m2 and angular velocity 10 rad/s begins to speed up, with angular acceleration 15 rad/sec2

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

(A) Angular speed 40 rad/sec

Rotation = 50 rad

(b) 37812.5 J

Explanation:

We have given moment of inertia of the wheel $I=25kgm^2$

Initial angular velocity of the wheel $\omega _0=10rad/sec$

Angular acceleration $\alpha =15rad/sec^2$

(a) We know that $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

We have given t = 2 sec

So $\omega =10+15\times 2=40rad/sec$

Now $\Theta =\omega _0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2=10\times 2+\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times 2^2=50rad$

(b) After 3 sec $\omega =10+15\times 3=55rad/sec$

We know that kinetic energy is given by $Ke=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 25\times 55^2=37812.5J$

Two particles in a high-energy accelerator experiment are approaching each other head-on, each with a speed of 0.9520c as measur

Over [174]

Answer:

the magnitude of the velocity of one particle relative to the other is 0.9988c

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Velocities of the two particles = 0.9520c

Using Lorentz transformation

Let relative velocity be W, so

v $_r$ = ( u + v ) / ( 1 + ( uv / c²) )

since each particle travels with the same speed,

u = v

so

v $_r$ = ( u + u ) / ( 1 + ( u×u / c²) )

v $_r$ = 2(0.9520c) / ( 1 + ( 0.9520c )² / c²) )

we substitute

v $_r$ = 1.904c / ( 1 + ( (0.906304 × c² ) / c²) )

v $_r$ = 1.904c / ( 1 + 0.906304 )

v $_r$ = 1.904c / 1.906304

v $_r$ = 0.9988c

Therefore, the magnitude of the velocity of one particle relative to the other is 0.9988c

Infer the effect of deforestation on the carrying capacity of the Amazon rainforest.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

More than 20% of the amazon has been destroyed, affects biodiversity.

Explanation:

The biggest issues that the amazon is facing is the deforestation and it involves the clearing of land areas for logging, farming, and other land-use changes.

Effects that are seen are droughts, floods, destruction of habitats of flora and fauna along with the valuable services of the ecosystem.

This leads to a decrease in the carrying capacity of the species and the decline of the essential resources that are necessary to survive.

Points A (-5,6), B (2,-2), and C (-6,-3) are placed in three different quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate system. Convert each

AURORKA [14]

Answer: A ( $\sqrt{61}$ ,309.8°)

B (2 $\sqrt{2}$ , 315°)

C ( $3\sqrt{5}$ , 26.56°)

Explanation: To transform rectangular coordinates into polar coordinates use:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ and $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})$

For point A:

$r=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+6^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{61}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{-5})$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(-1.2)$

$\theta=-50.2$ °

Point A is in the II quadrant, so we substract the angle for 360° since it is in degrees:

$\theta=360-50.2$

$\theta=$ 309.8°

Polar coordinates for point A is ( $\sqrt{61}$ , 309.8°)

For point B:

$r=\sqrt{2^{2}+(-2)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{8}$

$r=2\sqrt{2}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2} )$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(1)$

$\theta=-45$ °

Point B is in IV quadrant, so:

$\theta=360-45$

$\theta=$ 315°

Polar coordinates for point B is ( $2\sqrt{2}$ , 315°)

For point C:

$r=\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{45}$

$r=3\sqrt{5}$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-3}{-6} )$

$\theta=tan^{-1}(0.5)$

$\theta=$ 26.56°

Polar coordinates for point C is ( $3\sqrt{5}$ , 26.56°)

Velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude and direction. ... Net force is also a vector quantity which has both mag

GuDViN [60]

When the object is moving in the elliptical orbit, it means that the direction of its acceleration should be towards the two foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse to keep the elliptical motion. As force according to the Newton's second law: F = ma, the net force must be in the direction of the acceleration. As far as the magnitude of net force is concerned, you can use Newton's gravitational law to find its magnitude.
