Answer:

2.2\times 10^{-5} s

Explanation:

We are given that  

The wavelength of sound wave=\lambda=3.3 cm=3.3\times 10^{-2}m/s

1 cm/s=10^{-2}m/s

Speed of sound wave,v=1522 m/s

We have to find the period of the wave.

We know that

Frequency=\nu=\frac{v}{\lambda}

Using the formula

Frequency =\frac{1522}{3.3\times 10^{-2}}=4.6\times 10^{4} Hz

Time period=\frac{1}{4.6\times 10^4}=0.22\times 10^{-4}\times \frac{10}{10^1}=2.2\times 10^{-4-1}=2.2\times 10^{-5}s

Using identity:\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}

Hence, the time period of the wave=2.2\times 10^{-5} s

A bumblebee darts past at 3 m/s. The frequency of the hum made by its wings is 152 Hz. Assume the speed of sound to be 342 m/s.
Veronika [31]

It'll be 152 Hz at the exact instant the bumblebee
is right at the tip of your nose, on his way past you.

Before he gets there, while he's coming at you,
he sounds like a frequency higher than 152 Hz.

After he passes by, and is going away from you,
he sounds like a frequency lower than 152 Hz.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 1.0 N

Explanation:

inclination of tray=12^{\circ}

gravitational Force=5 N

Now this gravitational force has two component i.e.

5\sin \theta  is parallel to the tray =1.039 N

5\cos \theta  is perpendicular to the tray =4.890 N
