Given that the distance from the left end of the string to the first antinode is 27.5 cm , calculate the wavelength of the stand
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

= 0.55 m

Explanation:

A standing wave is characterized by anti-nodes and nodes.

Antinodes are points on a standing wave at maximum amplitude, while nodes are points on the standing wave that are stationary and have zero amplitude.

The distance between two adjacent nodes or two adjacent anti-nodes is equivalent to half the wavelength.

Therefore, in this case the half wavelength is 27.5 cm.

Thus, wavelength = 27.5 × 2

                              = 55 cm

                             <u>= 0.55 m</u>

Dos cargas puntuales q1 = −50μC y q2 = +30μC se encuentran
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Datos:

q1 = -50 μC = 50*10^{-6}

q2 = +30 μC = 30*10^{-6}

F = 10 N

a) x si la <em>F = 10N</em>

Aplicando la Ley de Coulomb:

x = \sqrt\frac{k0 * q1 *q2}{F} = \sqrt\frac{(9*10^{9} )*(50*10^{-6})*(30*10^{-6})}{10} = 1,162m

b) x si la <em>F = 20 N</em>

x=<em> </em>\sqrt\frac{(9*10^{9} )*(50*10^{-6})*(30*10^{-6})}{20}<em> </em>= 0,822m

c)x si la <em>F = 50 N</em>

x = \sqrt\frac{(9*10^{9} )*(50*10^{-6})*(30*10^{-6})}{50} = 0,520m

You throw a balloon that floats in the air with a velocity of 2 m / s south . If the wind speed is 5 m / s west , how far south
zvonat [6]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m

Explanation:

velocity of the ball, v_b = 2 m/s south

velocity of the air, v_a = 5 m/s west

To determine the distance the balloon will travel after 2 seconds, first determine the resultant velocity of the balloon.

                                       | 2m/s

                                       |

                                       |

                                      ↓

      5m/s  ←------------------

the two velocities forms a right angled triangle and the resultant will be the hypotenuses side of the triangle.

R² = 5² + 2²

R² = 29

R = √29

R = 5.385 m/s

The distance traveled by the balloon is calculated as;

d = R x t

where;

t is time of the motion = 2 seconds

d = 5.385 x 2

d = 10.77 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m.

How does the loneliest whale relate to physics/waves.
Lelechka [254]
Answer: the loneliest whale relates to the communication that whales give to each other

Explanation: whales have different forms of communication , and the ‘loneliest’ whale can’t get any company by the other whales.


In other words: it may be a new and different way whales communicate, nobody knows much about the loneliest whale. It may be forming a new kind of communication

An atom of a certain element has 36 protons, 36 electrons, and a mass number of 84. At room temperature, this element is a very
Grace [21]

Answer:

12 neutrons

Explanation:

The number of protons also shows the atomic number. Therefore the element in question is Krypton (Kr), which also is a noble gas.

Neutrons = Mass number - protons - electrons

Here neutrons = 84 - 36 - 36 = 12
