What is the frequency of a pressure wave of wavelength 2.5 m that is traveling at 1400 m/s?

1 answer:

5 0

The relationship between the speed, the frequency and the wavelength of a wave is given by:
$f= \frac{v}{\lambda}$
where
f is the frequency
v is the speed of the wave
$\lambda$ is its wavelength

for the pressure wave in this problem, $\lambda=2.5 m$ and v=1400 m/s, therefore its frequency is
$f= \frac{v}{\lambda}= \frac{1400 m/s}{2.5 m}=560 Hz$

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball would be due to the downward force of gravity, 9.8m/s^2. In order to find the displacement given that interval of time, you have to use the corresponding kinematic formula:

$d=v_it+at^2/2$

The initial velocity was given, the time was given, and the acceleration was given. Therefore:

$d=(22m/s)(4s)+(9.8m/s^2)(4s)^2/2$

$d=166.4m$

To find the required time given a desired final velocity, we can use:

$v_f=v_i+at$

$60m/s=22m/s+(9.8m/s^2)(t)$

$38=9.8t$

$t=3.9s$

An RLC series circuit consists of a 50 Ω resistor, a 200 μF capacitor, and a 120-mH inductor whose coil has a resistance of 20 Ω

solmaris [256]

Answer:

182.9 Volts

Explanation:

R = resistance of the resistor = 50 Ω

C = capacitance of the capacitor = 200 μF = 200 x 10⁻⁶ F

L = Inductance of the inductor = 120 mH = 0.12 H

f = frequency = 60 Hz

Capacitive reactance is given as

X = (2πfC)⁻¹

X = (2(3.14) (60) (200 x 10⁻⁶))⁻¹

X = 13.3 Ω

Inductive reactance is given as

X' = 2πfL

X' = 2(3.14) (60) (0.12)

X' = 45.2 Ω

Impedance of the circuit is given as

z = √(R² + (X' - X)²)

z = √(50² + (45.2 - 13.3)²)

z = 59.31 Ω

V = rms emf of the source = 240 Volts

rms voltage across the inductor is given as

V' = V z⁻¹ X'

V' = (240) (59.31)⁻¹ (45.2)

V' = 182.9 Volts
