Answer:

B. 1 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversions:

0.3 km = 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 = 300 seconds

So if a seal can reach a depth of 300m in a time of 300 seconds, its diving speed is the distance divided by time duration

v = s/t = 300/300 = 1m/s

So B is the correct answer

A tube 1.20 m long is closed at one end. A stretched wire is placed near the open end. The wire is 0.350 m long and has a mass o
Ksju [112]

Answer:

71.4583 Hz

67.9064 N

Explanation:

L = Length of tube = 1.2 m

l = Length of wire = 0.35 m

m = Mass of wire = 9.5 g

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

The fundamental frequency of the tube (closed at one end) is given by

f=\frac{v}{4L}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{343}{4\times 1.2}\\\Rightarrow f=71.4583\ Hz

The fundamental frequency of the wire and tube is equal so he fundamental frequency of the wire is 71.4583 Hz

The linear density of the wire is

\mu=\frac{m}{l}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{9.5\times 10^{-3}}{0.35}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.02714\ kg/m

The fundamental frequency of the wire is given by

f=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow f^2=\frac{1}{4l^2}\frac{T}{\mu}\\\Rightarrow T=f^2\mu 4l^2\\\Rightarrow T=71.4583^2\times 0.02714\times 4\times 0.35^2\\\Rightarrow T=67.9064\ N

The tension in the wire is 67.9064 N

A compact disc (CD) stores music in a coded pattern of tiny pits 10−7m deep. The pits are arranged in a track that spirals outwa
andreev551 [17]

(a) 50 rad/s

The angular speed of the CD is related to the linear speed by:

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

where

\omega is the angular speed

v is the linear speed

r is the distance from the centre of the CD

When scanning the innermost part of the track, we have

v = 1.25 m/s

r = 25.0 mm = 0.025 m

Therefore, the angular speed is

\omega=\frac{1.25 m/s}{0.025 m}=50 rad/s

(b) 21.6 rad/s

As in part a, the angular speed of the CD is given by

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

When scanning the outermost part of the track, we have

v = 1.25 m/s

r = 58.0 mm = 0.058 m

Therefore, the angular speed is

\omega=\frac{1.25 m/s}{0.058 m}=21.6 rad/s

(c) 5550 m

The maximum playing time of the CD is

t =74.0 min \cdot 60 s/min = 4,440 s

And we know that the linear speed of the track is

v = 1.25 m/s

If the track were stretched out in a straight line, then we would have a uniform motion, therefore the total length of the track would be:

d=vt=(1.25 m/s)(4,440 s)=5,550 m

(d) -6.4\cdot 10^{-3} rad/s^2

The angular acceleration of the CD is given by

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

where

\omega_f = 21.6 rad/s is the final angular speed (when the CD is scanned at the outermost part)

\omega_i = 50.0 rad/s is the initial angular speed (when the CD is scanned at the innermost part)

t=4440 s is the time elapsed

Substituting into the equation, we find

\alpha=\frac{21.6 rad/s-50.0 rad/s}{4440 s}=-6.4\cdot 10^{-3} rad/s^2
