Answer:

A. velocity and wavelength

Explanation:

  • When a wave travels from one medium to another it undergoes a change in direction and this is referred to as refraction.
  • Refraction is the bending of a wave or a change in direction of a wave as it travels from one medium to another. Refraction is accompanied by change in velocity and wavelength of a wave.
  • Velocity of a wave is proportional to the wavelength of the wave therefore, if the velocity of a wave changes the the wavelength will also change proportionally to the velocity.

Two pianos each sound the same note simultaneously, but they are both out of tune. On a day when the speed of sound is 349 m/s,
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Time period between the successive beats will be 0.1703 sec

Explanation:

We have given speed of the sound v = 349 m/sec

Wavelength of piano A\lambda _A=0.766m

Wavelength of piano  B\lambda _B=0.776m

So frequency of piano A f_1=\frac{v}{\lambda _1}=\frac{349}{0.766}=455.61Hz

Frequency of piano B f_2=\frac{v}{\lambda _1}=\frac{349}{0.776}=449.74Hz

So beat frequency f = 455.61 - 449.74 = 5.87 Hz

So time period T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{5.87}=0.1703sec

So time period between the successive beats will be 0.1703 sec

Modern nuclear bomb tests have created an extra high level of14C in our atmosphere. When future archaeologistsdate samples from
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Too old(Ex. if real time is 1000 then they estimate >1000)

Explanation:

This is because with time our planet may have a definite function which describes temperature.(Because of all the factors and global warming except nuclear bomb testing)

Now nuclear test on planet have significant effect on temperature rise.

Also 14°C rise in temperature is good one because of this.

If future archaeologists only consider that  uniform function as above mentioned then they estimate more time then the real one.

Thus too old is right answer.

Both the moon and the sun influence the tides on Earth. The moon has a much greater influence though. Why is that
3241004551 [841]
Because even though the moon is smaller, therefore a weaker gravitational pull, the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun, thus having a greater gravitational pull

A wall clock has a second hand 22.0 cmcm long. For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tut
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

The tip of the second hand moves on a circular path having radius equal to .22 m . Redial acceleration is given by the expression

ω²R where ω is angular velocity and R is radius of the circular path .

angular velocity of second hand = 2π / T where T is time period of circular motion . For second hand it is 60 s.

ω = 2π / T

= 2π / 60

= .1047

angular acceleration =  .1047² x .22

= 2.41 x 10⁻³ rad / s² .
