If the speed of a wave is 1500m/sec and its frequency is 200 Hz, what is its wavelength

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of wave is 7.5 meter.

Given:

Speed of wave = 1500 $\frac{m}{s}$

Frequency of wave = 200 Hz

To find:

Wavelength of wave = ?

Formula used:

$\lambda = \frac{v}{n}$

Where $\lambda$ = wavelength of the wave

v = speed of wave

n = frequency of wave

Solution:

Wavelength of wave is given by,

$\lambda = \frac{v}{n}$

Where $\lambda$ = wavelength of the wave

v = speed of wave

n = frequency of wave

$\lambda = \frac{1500}{200}$

$\lambda$ = 7.5 m

The wavelength of wave is 7.5 meter.

Find the fundamental frequency and the next three frequencies that could cause standing-wave patterns on a string that is 30.0 m

maksim [4K]

Answer:

0.786 Hz, 1.572 Hz, 2.358 Hz, 3.144 Hz

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of a standing wave on a string is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

where

L is the length of the string

T is the tension in the string

$\mu$ is the mass per unit length

For the string in the problem,

L = 30.0 m

$\mu=9.00\cdot 10^{-3} kg/m$

T = 20.0 N

Substituting into the equation, we find the fundamental frequency:

$f=\frac{1}{2(30.0)}\sqrt{\frac{20.0}{(9.00\cdot 10^{-3}}}=0.786 Hz$

The next frequencies (harmonics) are given by

$f_n = nf$

with n being an integer number and f being the fundamental frequency.

So we get:

$f_2 = 2 (0.786 Hz)=1.572 Hz$

$f_3 = 3 (0.786 Hz)=2.358 Hz$

$f_4 = 4 (0.786 Hz)=3.144 Hz$

The Moon orbits Earth in an average of p = 27.3 days at an average distance of a =384,000 kilometers. Using Newton’s version of

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mass of the earth, $M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, $T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m$

Distance between moon and the earth, $r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m$

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

So, the mass of the earth is $6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Multiple-Concept Example 13 presents useful background for this problem. The cheetah is one of the fastest accelerating animals,

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

9241.6 W or 12.39318 hp

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

m = Mass

t = Time taken

Energy

$KE=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow KE=\frac{1}{2}108(30.4^2-0^2)\\\Rightarrow KE=49904.64\ Joules$

Power

$P=\frac{KE}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{49904.64}{5.4}\\\Rightarrow P=9241.6\ W$

Converting to hp

$1\ W=\frac{1}{745.7}\ hp$

$\\\Rightarrow 9241.6\ W=\frac{9241.6}{745.7}\ hp=12.39318\ hp$

The power developed by the cheetah is 9241.6 W or 12.39318 hp
