Question

What is the length of the pipe?

Answer:

(a) 0.52m

(b) f2=640 Hz and f3=960 Hz

Explanation:

For an open pipe, the velocity is given by

$v=\frac {2Lf}{n}$

Making L the subject then

$L=\frac {nV}{2f}$

Where f is the frequency, L is the length, n is harmonic number, v is velocity

Substituting 1 for n, 320 Hz for f and 331 m/s for v then

$L=\frac {1*331}{2*320}=0.5171875\approx 0.52m$

(b)

The next two harmonics is given by

f2=2fi

f3=3fi

f2=3*320=640 Hz

f3=3*320=960 Hz

Alternatively, $f2=2\times \frac {v}{2L}$ and $f3=3\times \frac {v}{2L}$

$f2=2\times \frac {331}{2*0.52}=636.5 Hz\\f3=3\times \frac {331}{2*0.52}=954.8 Hz$

(c)

When v=367 m/s then

$f1= \frac {v}{2L}\\f1= \frac {367}{2*0.52}=352.9 Hz$

What was the voltage on the battery for the #2 series circuit with two light bulbs?A: 4 VB: 18 VC: 4.5 VD: 9 V

Ghella [55]

We are given a series circuit with two light bulbs. In this case, the light bulbs act as resistors in series and the total resistance is:

$R_t=R_1+R_2$

That is the sum of all the resistances in series in the circuit. To determine the voltage we can use Ohm's law:

$V=IR$

Where "R" is the total resistance and "I" is the current in the circuit. Replacing we get:

$V=I(R_1+R_2)$

Explain why the types of technology valued can vary.

Elan Coil [88]

Over time, the types of technology can vary and be improved upon so that more advanced techniques become more valued. This could be the situation with mining whereby back in the 1500's in underground mines the rock was broken by fire setting ie lighting a fire below the rock face to heat up the rock and then throwing cold water on it to crack it, so that it could be dug by hand. With the advent of explosives, this all changed so that the rock could be blasted. The increase in advance rates for an underground heading have thus gone from 5-20 feet per month to up to 300meters (984 ft) per month for a 24/7 mining operation, which is a huge improvement.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their

natta225 [31]

Answer:

5.0 m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the salmon is uniform, so the horizontal component of the salmon's velocity is constant and it is

$v_x = u cos \theta$

where u is the initial speed and $\theta=37.7^{\circ}$ . The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon is

$d=v_x t = (ucos \theta)t$

where d = 1.95 m and t is the time needed to reach the final point.

Re-arranging for t,

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{d}{u cos \theta}$ (1)

Along the vertical direction, the equation of motion is

$y=h+u_y t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where:

y = 0.311 m is the final height reached by the salmon

h = 0 is the initial height

$u_y = u sin \theta$ is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the salmon

$g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting t as found in eq.(1), we get the equation

$y=(u sin \theta) \frac{d}{u cos \theta}- \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}$

and we can solve this formula for u, the initial speed of the salmon:

$y=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}\\\\u=\sqrt{\frac{gd^2}{2(dtan \theta -y)cos^2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.81)(1.95)^2}{2((1.95)(tan 37.7^{\circ}) -0.311)cos^2 37.7^{\circ}}}=5.0 m/s$
