Cousin Throckmorton is playing with the clothesline. One end of the clothesline is attached to a vertical post. Throcky holds th

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The frequencies are $f_n = n (0.875 )$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the wave is $v = 0.700 \ m/s$

The length of vibrating clothesline is $L = 40.0 \ cm = 0.4 \ m$

Generally the fundamental frequency is mathematically represented as

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

=> $f = \frac{ 0.700 }{2 * 0.4 }$

=> $f = 0.875 \ Hz$

Now this other frequencies of vibration experience by the clotheslines are know as harmonics and they are obtained by integer multiple of the fundamental frequency

The frequencies are mathematically represented as

$f_n = n * f$

=> $f_n = n (0.875 )$

Where n = 1, 2, 3 ....

In the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 3.40 mm . what is the differenc

Strike441 [17]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:

diffraction grating slits = 900 slits per centimeter

interference pattern that is observed on a screen from the grating = 2.38m

maxima for two different wavelengths = 3.40mm

slit separation .. d = 1/900cm = 1.11^-3cm = 1.111^-5 m 

Whenas n = 1, maxima (grating equation) sinθ = λ/d
Grant distance of each maxima from centre = y ..
As sinθ ≈ y/D y/D = λ/d λ = yd / D 

∆λ = (λ2 - λ1) = y2.d/D - y1.d/D
∆λ = (d/D) [y2 -y1]

∆λ = 1.111^-5m x [3.40^-3m] / 2.38m .. .. ►∆λ = 1.587^-8 m

A 5.0-kilogram sphere, starting from rest, falls freely 22 meters in 3.0 seconds near the surface of a planet. Compared to the a

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

C) one-half as great

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration of gravity in that planet, using the following kinematic equation:

$\Delta x=v_0t+\frac{gt^2}{2}$

In this case, the sphere starts from rest, so $v_0=0$ . Replacing the given values and solving for g':

$g'=\frac{2\Delta x}{t^2}\\g'=\frac{2(22m)}{(3s)^2}\\g'=4.89\frac{m}{s^2}$

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is $g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$ . So, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is approximately one-half of the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface.

liquid helium has a very low boiling point, 4.2 k, as well as a very low latent heat of vaporization, 2.00 104 j/kg. if energy i

aksik [14]

$4.80 \times 10^3 \text { seconds }$ long does it take to boil away 2.40 kg of the liquid.

Boiling point of He is $T=4.2 \mathrm{k}$

Latent heat of vapourization $L=2.00 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg}$

Power of electrical heater $P=30 \mathrm{w}$

mass of liquid is $m=2.40 \mathrm{~kg}$

amount of heat required to boil

$\begin{aligned}&Q=m L \\&Q=2.40 \times 2 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J} \\&Q=4.80 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}$

Power $p=\frac{\text { work }}{\text { time }}=\frac{\text { Energy }}{\text { Time }}$

$\begin{aligned}P &=\frac{Q}{t} \\\text { tine } t &=\frac{Q}{P}=\frac{4.80 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J}}{10} \\t &=4.80 \times 10^3 \text { seconds }\end{aligned}$

The heat or energy that is absorbed or released during a substance's phase shift is known as latent heat. It could go from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas, or vice versa. Enthalpy, a characteristic of heat, is connected to latent heat.

The heat that is used or lost as matter melts and transitions from a solid to a fluid form at a constant temperature is known as the latent heat of fusion.

Due to the fact that during softening the heat energy anticipated to transform the substance from solid to fluid at air pressure is the latent heat of fusion and that the temperature remains constant during the process, the "enthalpy" of fusion is a latent heat. The enthalpy change of any quantity of material during dissolution is known as the latent heat of fusion.
