Two sound waves, A and B, are traveling at the same speed. Wave A has a wavelength of 50 cm and a frequency of 7000 Hz. Wave B h

as a frequency of 3500 Hz—half the frequency of Wave A. What is Wave B’s wavelength? A. 14,000 cm B. 25 cm C. 3500 cm D. 100 cm

Answer:

D. 100 cm

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is the wavelength times the frequency.

v = λf

Wave A and B have the same speed, so:

λf = λf

(50 cm) (7000 Hz) = λ (3500 Hz)

λ = 100 cm

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

$\kappa = \frac{1}{2 b}$

Explanation:

The equation for kappa ( κ) is

$\kappa = \frac{a}{a^2 + b^2}$

we can find the maximum of kappa for a given value of b using derivation.

As b is fixed, we can use kappa as a function of a

$\kappa (a) = \frac{a}{a^2 + b^2}$

Now, the conditions to find a maximum at $a_0$ are:

$\frac{d \kappa(a)}{da} \left | _{a=a_0} = 0$

$\frac{d^2\kappa(a)}{da^2} \left | _{a=a_0} < 0$

Taking the first derivative:

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{d}{da} (\frac{a}{a^2 + b^2})$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} \frac{d}{da}(a)+ a * \frac{d}{da} (\frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} )$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 + a * (-1) (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ) \frac{d}{da} (a^2+b^2)$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 - a (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ) (2* a)$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 - 2 a^2 (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{a^2+b^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} - 2 a^2 (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} (a^2+b^2 - 2 a^2)$

$\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{b^2 - a^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2}$

This clearly will be zero when

$a^2 = b^2$

as both are greater (or equal) than zero, this implies

$a=b$

The second derivative is

$\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{d}{da} (\frac{b^2 - a^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )$

$\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} \frac{d}{da} ( b^2 - a^2 ) + (b^2 - a^2) \frac{d}{da} ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )$

$\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ( -2 a ) + (b^2 - a^2) (-2) ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^3} ) (2a)$

$\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{-2 a}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} + (b^2 - a^2) (-2) ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^3} ) (2a)$

We dcan skip solving the equation noting that, if a=b, then

$b^2 - a^2 = 0$

at this point, this give us only the first term

$\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{- 2 a}{(a^2 + a^2)^2}$

if a is greater than zero, this means that the second derivative is negative, and the point is a minimum

the value of kappa is

$\kappa = \frac{b}{b^2 + b^2}$

$\kappa = \frac{b}{2* b^2}$

$\kappa = \frac{1}{2 b}$

Compare animal and plant cell

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

hope this helps :)

Explain the origin of the magnitude designation for determining the brightness of stars. Why does it seem to go backward, with s

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Hipparchus was an ancient Greek who classified stars based on the brightness in 129 B.C. He grouped the brightest stars and ranked them 1 (first magnitude) and dimmest stars as 6 (sixth magnitude). Thus, the smaller numbers indicated brighter stars. Now, the scale extends in negative axis as well. More the negative number, brighter is the star. For example, Sun has magnitude -26.74.

This the apparent magnitude which means the classification is based on the brightness of the star as it appears from the Earth.

What is one standard kilogramun si system<br><br><br><br><br>

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The kilogram (kg) is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.62607015 ×10−34 when expressed in the unit J s, which is equal to kg m2 s−1, where the meter and the second are defined in terms of c and ∆νCs.
