Answer:

The fundamental frequency of can is 2.7 kHz.                          

Explanation:

Given that,

A typical length for the auditory canal in an adult is about 3.1 cm, l = 3.1 cm

The speed of sound is, v = 336 m/s

We need to find the fundamental frequency of the canal. For a tube open at only one end, the fundamental frequency is given by :

f=\dfrac{v}{4l}\\\\f=\dfrac{336}{4\times 3.1\times 10^{-2}}\\\\f=2709.67\ Hz\\\\f=2.7\ kHz

So, the fundamental frequency of can is 2.7 kHz. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of −25.0 nc? g?
Daniel [21]

To calculate the force between two negative charges, we use the formula which is given by the Coulomb`s Law as

F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}  }{r^{2} }

Here, q_{1} andq_{2} are the charges on the pith balls, r is the separation between the charges and k is constant and its value is  8.99\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2.

Given  q_{1} =q_{2} =-25 nC=-25\times 10^{-9}C and  r=8 cm=8\times10^{-2} m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

F= 8.99\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2\frac{(-25\times 10^{-9}C)(-25\times 10^{-9}C)}{(8\times10^{-2} m)^2} \\\\\ F= 877929.7\times 10^{-9}  N\\\\F=8.8\times10^{-4}N

Thus, the repulsive force between two pith balls is 8.8\times10^{-4}N.

Do Earth's continents gain or lose water, considering evaporation and precipitation together? How much ? Plz help :)) Thx
ratelena [41]

Answer:

<em>The amount of water in circulation is the same</em>

Explanation:

The water cycle is the pathway in which water moves from the atmosphere to the earth and back to atmosphere ones again.

During the sunny period, the temperature of the earth is heated up, water evaporates to the atmosphere as water vapour. The water vapour gathers as cloud and comes back to the earth as rain, which enters our rivers and stream. Thereby maintaining a continuous cycle.

With the water cycle, the movement of water via precipitation and evaporation is the same on earth.

Two concrete spans of a 250-m-long bridge are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion. If a temperature incre
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

  y = 2.74 m

Explanation:

The linear thermal expansion processes are described by the expression

         ΔL = α L ΔT

Where α the thermal dilation constant for concrete is 12 10⁻⁶ºC⁻¹, ΔL is the length variation and ΔT the temperature variation in this case 20ªc

If the bridge is 250 m long and is covered by two sections each of them must be L = 125 m, let's calculate the variation in length

        ΔL = 12 10⁻⁶ 125 20

        ΔL = 3.0 10⁻² m

Let's use trigonometry to find the height

The hypotenuse     Lf = 125 + 0.03 = 125.03 m

Adjacent leg           L₀ = 125 m

       cos θ = L₀ / Lf

       θ = cos⁻¹ (L₀ / Lf)

       θ = cos⁻¹ (125 / 125.03)

       θ = 1,255º

We calculate the height

       tan 1,255 = y / x

       y = x tan 1,255

       y = 125 tan 1,255

       y = 2.74 m
