Two tuning forks produce sounds of wavelengths of 3.4 meters and 3.3 meters.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

wavelength, λ = 3.4 m

wavelength, λ' = 3.3 m

Speed, v = 340 m/s

f = v / λ = 340 / 3.4 = 100 Hz

f' = v / λ' = 340 / 3.3 = 103.03 Hz

Frequency of beat, n = f' - f = 103.03 - 100 = 3.03 Hz

Elsa runs 100m. She takes 20s to run this distance. What is Elsa's average speed?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Average speed = 5 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 100m

Time = 20 secs

To find the average speed;

Speed = distance/time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Speed = 100/20

Speed = 5m/s

Therefore, Elsa's average speed is 5 meters per seconds.
