Answer:

The value is   t =  14.129 \  minutes    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The distance of planet Tatoone is  d =  1.7 \ AU  =  1.7 *1.496* 10^{11}=2.543*10^{11} \ m

   The  speed of light is  c =  3.0*10^{8} \  m/  s

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

     t =  \frac{d}{c}

=> t =  \frac{2.543*10^{11}}{3.0*10^{8} }

=>    t =  847.7 \  s

Now converting to minutes

       t =  \frac{847.7}{60}

   =>     t =  14.129 \  minutes

The auditory canal behaves like a resonant tube to aid in hearing. One end terminated at the eardrum, while the other opens to t
kompoz [17]

Answer:

3.6 kHz

Explanation:

The pipes behave like a closed pipe . The end open is the end of the air canal outside the ear and the closed end is the eardrum.

The first harmonic will be as seen in the figure attached.

The length of the first harmonic will be λ/4.

λ/4=2.4 cm

λ=2.4 * 4=9.6 cm 0.096 m

Speed of Sound- 344 m/s(in air)

velocity(v) * Time Period(T) = Wavelength (λ)

Also, Time Period(T)= \frac{\textrm{1}}{\textrm{Frequency(f)}}

\frac{\textrm{Velocity}}{\textrm{Wavelength}}=\frac{\textrm{1}}{\textrm{Time Period}} =Frequency

Plugging in the values into the equation,

Frequency = \frac{344}{0.096} Hz

                  = 3583.3 Hz≈3600 Hz= 3.6 kHz

Frequency= 3.6 kHz

Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.
mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.

If the period of a spring is 5 seconds what is the frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

C. 0.2 Hertz

Explanation:

The frequency of a spring is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

For the spring in this problem,

T = 5 s

therefore, the frequency is

f=\frac{1}{5 s}=0.2 Hz
