Answer:
Explanation:
In order to answer this problem you have to know the depth of the column, we say R, this information is important because allows you to compute some harmonic of the tube. With this information you can compute the depth of the colum of air, by taking tino account that the new depth is R-L.
To find the fundamental mode you use:
n: mode of the sound
vs: sound speed
L: length of the column of air in the tube.
A) The fundamental mode id obtained for n=1:
B) For the 3rd harmonic you have:
C) For the 2nd harmonic:
Answer:
0.143 m
Explanation:
The relationship between force applied on a string and stretching of the spring is given by Hooke's law:
where
F is the force exerted on the spring
k is the spring constant of the spring
x is the stretching of the spring from its equilibrium position
In this problem, we have:
F = 20 N is the force applied on the spring
k = 140 N/m is the spring constant
Solving for x, we find how far the spring will stretch:
Answer:
6 km/h west
Explanation:
During part c of the hike, the hiker moved 6 km west, and the time was 9.45 am to 10.45 am.
So, we have:
- displacement: d = 6 km west
- time taken: from 9.45 am to 10.45 am = 1 hour
Therefore, the average velocity is given by the ratio between displacement and time taken:
and the direction is the same as the displacement (west)
