Answer:

630 Hz.

Explanation:

As we are considering the one end open pipe. So for the sound wave there will be a pressure node at the open end of the tube as at that place the molecules can not move back and forth. However on the closed end there will be a flow node as the water molecules their are moving back and forth. So it will produces the resonance at the positions 1/4, 3/4.......

we can find the wavelength by multiplying the levels distance by 2.

λ = 2 × 0.27 m = 0.54

f = Vs/λ

  = 340/0.54

  = 630 Hz

An object is moving but we don't know its mass or velocity. A force of 20 newtons to the right
jok3333 [9.3K]

The impulse is (force) x (time) = (20 N) x (20 sec) = 400 N-sec

When we grind through the units, we find that the [newton-second]
is exactly the same as the [kilogram-meter/sec] unit-wise, and once
we know that, it doesn't surprise us to learn that impulse is equivalent
to a change in momentum (mass x speed ... also kg-m/s).

So this impulse exerted on the moving object adds 400 kg-m/s of
linear momentum to its motion, directed to the right.  That may or
may not be the total change in its momentum during that 20-sec,
because our 20-N may not be the only force acting on it.

A technical machinist is asked to build a cubical steel tank that will hold 130l of water. calculate in meters the smallest poss
disa [49]
Answer:0.507m

To answer this question, you need to know how to calculate a cube volume. Cube volume is calculated by multiplying the length^3, make its unit become cubic meter.
In this case we know the volume is 130L and asked how long is the length in meter. Then you need to convert the liter into m3. The calculation would be:
V=R^3
130L= R^3
R= 3<span>√(130m3/1000)
R= 5.065797/10 m
R= 0.506579m
Rounded up to 0.507m</span>

(1 point) At noon, ship A is 10 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A is sailing west at 22 knots and ship B is sailing nort
Veronika [31]

Answer:28.8 knots

Explanation:

The ships are moving as the sides of a right triangle. Thus, Pyhogorean theorem will be useful in the following steps. Next, we have to know that the rate of change in distance, which is called velocity, can be described in terms of derivatives.

First, we have to calculate the distances covered by the ships from noon to 6 PM. In 6 hours, ship A moved 22*6=132 nautical mile. However, their first distance was 10 nautical miles, so 132+10=142 miles is the equivalent of A's displacement. For B, the distance travelled is 19*6=114 miles. From now on, A=142 miles and B=114 miles.

The distance between them is described with Pythogorean theorem, which is D=\sqrt{A^{2} +B^{2} } and when we replace the values A and D, we find Distance (D) to be 182 miles.

Now, let's make the notations clear. The velocity of A and B is notated as \frac{dA}{dt} and \frac{dB}{dt}. The rate of change of distance is also notated as \frac{dD}{dt}. Now, we have to find \frac{dD}{dt} from the Pythogorean theorem. If we derive the Pythogorean expression D=\sqrt{A^{2} +B^{2} } , we would have:

\frac{dD}{dt} =\frac{1}{2} *(A^{2} +B^{2} )^{-1/2} *(2*A*\frac{dA}{dt} + 2*B*\frac{dB}{dt} )

The derivation here includes chain rule and derives the interior parts of the parenthesis. When we insert distances for A and B and velocities for derivation notations, the formula becomes:

\frac{dC}{dt} =\frac{1}{2}*(142^{2}   +114^{2})^{-\frac{1}{2} }*(2*142*22 + 2*114*19) and the answer is 28.6 knots.

Which statement best summarizes Newton's law of action-reaction? *
Tom [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is the third

Force equals mass times acceleration

Explanation:

Newton's second law says that force equals mass times the acceleration of the body

            F = m a

This is the most used way to solve problems

The correct answer is the third

Newton's third law states that forces always work in pairs, by action and reaction

Newton's first law states that an object per macerate with constant speed unless some force modifies this state.
