The label has been scratched off a tuning fork and you need to know its frequency. From its size, you suspect that it is somewhe

re around 250 Hz. You find a 250-Hz tuning fork and a 270-Hz tuning fork. When you strike the 250-Hz fork and the fork of unknown frequency, a beat frequency of 5 Hz is produced. When you strike the unknown with the 270-Hz fork, the beat frequency is 15 Hz. What is the unknown frequency? O 275 Hz O There is not enough information O 255 Hz O 265 Hz O 245 Hz

Answer:

255 Hz

Explanation:

The beat frequency is the difference in frequency between two frequencies that are close.

Let the the unknown frequency be $f$ .

Sounded with the 250 Hz tuning fork,

$|250-f|=5$

$f = 255 \text{ or } 245$

Sounded with the 270 Hz tuning fork,

$|270-f|=15$

$f = 255 \text{ or } 285$

The common value of $f$ in both situations is 255 Hz.

An ideal monatomic gas initially has a temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 5.79 atm. It is to expand from volume 420 cm3 to v

maxonik [38]

Answer:

a) The final pressure is 1.68 atm.

b) The work done by the gas is 305.3 J.

Explanation:

a) The final pressure of an isothermal expansion is given by:

$T = \frac{PV}{nR}$

$T_{i} = T_{f}$

$\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{nR} = \frac{P_{f}V_{f}}{nR}$

Where:

$P_{i}$ : is the initial pressure = 5.79 atm

$P_{f}$ : is the final pressure =?

$V_{i}$ : is the initial volume = 420 cm³

$V_{f}$ : is the final volume = 1450 cm³

n: is the number of moles of the gas

R: is the gas constant

$P_{f} = \frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{V_{f}} = \frac{5.79 atm*420 cm^{3}}{1450 cm^{3}} = 1.68 atm$

Hence, the final pressure is 1.68 atm.

b) The work done by the isothermal expansion is:

$W = P_{i}V_{i}ln(\frac{V_{f}}{V_{i}}) = 5.79 atm*\frac{101325 Pa}{1 atm}*420 cm^{3}*\frac{1 m^{3}}{(100 cm)^{3}}ln(\frac{1450 cm^{3}}{420 cm^{3}}) = 305.3 J$

Therefore, the work done by the gas is 305.3 J.

I hope it helps you!

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initiall

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object $m=2\ kg$

Speed of object $u=5\ m/s$

Mass of object at rest $M=3\ kg$

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

$\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s$

Initial kinetic energy

$k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J$

Final kinetic energy

$k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J$

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth?

dexar [7]

Answer:

1.08 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) reached = 1.45 m

Time of flight (T) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1.45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.45/4.9)

t = 0.54 s

Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).

Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 0.54

T = 1.08 s

Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.
