Answer:

During a recent congressional hearing, Rick Perry, the US energy secretary, remarked that “to stand up and say that 100% of global warming is because of human activity, I think on its face, is just indefensible”.

A sound has 13 crests and 15 troughs in 3 seconds. When the second crest is produced the first is 2cm away from the source? Calc

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The wavelength will be 4 cm, frequency will be 4.66 Hz and wave speed is 18.6 cm/sec

Explanation:

Given:

No. of crest = 13

No. of trough = 15

Time = 3 seconds

Hence, 1 crest or 1 trough = $\frac{1}{2}\lambda$

therefore,

13 C + 15 T = $28(\frac{1}{2}\lambda)$

= $14\lambda$

Time given 3 seconds

= $\frac{3}{14}s$

$\nu= \frac{14}{3}$

$\nu= 4.6 Hz \approx 5 Hz$

2 cm distance is travelled is time period

$\lambda = 4 cm$

Again wave will travel in 1 T = 4 cm

wave speed v = $\lambda\times\nu$

= $4\times\frac{14}{3}$

= 18.6 cm/s

A capacitor is connected to an ac generator that has a frequency of 2.3 kHz and produces a rms voltage of 1.5 V. The rms current

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

AC frequency of 2.3KHz

f=2.3×10³Hz

Vrms produce is

Vrms=1.5V

Current rms

Irms= 31mA

The capacitor is reconnected to a generator of frequency

f=4.8KHz =4800Hz

The current rms becomes

Irms= 85mA

Vrms=?

Solution

First genrator

The capacitive reactance is given as

Xc=Vrms/Irms

Xc=1.5/31×10^-3

Xc=48.39 ohms

Now, to know the capacitance of the capacitor

Xc=1/2πfC

Then,

C=1/2πfXc

So,

C=1/2×π×2300×48.39

C=1.43×10^-6C

C=1.43μF

Note: the capacitance of the capacitor did not change,

Now for generator two.

The reactance are given as

Xc=1/2πfC

Xc=1/2×π×4800×1.43×10^-6

Xc=23.19ohms

Then,

Vrms2=Irms2 ×Xc

Vrms2=85×10^-3×23.19ohms

Vrms2=1.97V

Vrms2=1.97Volts

Assume a change at the source of sound reduces the wavelength of a sound wave in air by a factor of 3.

noname [10]

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$ ......(1)

(i) Here, the wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3. Equation (1) becomes :

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So, if wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3, then the frequency will increases by a factor of 3.

(ii) It remains the same.
