Atmospheric pressure is greater at the base of a mountain than at

Physics

aliina [53]2 years ago

At the top of the mountain, when he tightens the cap onto the bottole, there is some water and some air inside the bottle.  Then he brings the bottle down to the base of the mountain.

The pressure on the outside of the bottle is greater  than it was when he put the cap on.  If anything could get out of the bottlde, it would. But it can't . . . the cap is on too tight. So all the water and all the air has to stay inside, and anything that can get squished into a smaller space has to get squished into a smaller space.

The water is pretty much unsquishable.

Biut the air in there can be <em>COMPRESSED</em>.  The air gets squished into a smaller space, and the bottle wrinkles in slightly.

The fundamental frequency of a standing wave on a 1.0-m-long string is 440 Hz. What would be the wave speed of a pulse moving al
Nana76 [90]

Answer: v = 880m/s

Explanation: The length of a string is related to the wavelength of sound passing through the string at the fundamental frequency is given as

L = λ/2 where L = length of string and λ = wavelength.

But L = 1m

1 = λ/2

λ = 2m.

But the frequency at fundamental is 440Hz and

V = fλ

Hence

v = 440 * 2

v = 880m/s

If a fisherman applies a horizontal force with magnitude 47.0 NN to the box and produces an acceleration of magnitude 3.20 m/s2m
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The correct solution is "14.6875 kg".

Explanation:

Given values:

Force,

F = 47.0 N

Acceleration,

a = 3.20 m/s²

Now,

⇒ Force=Mass\times Acceleration

or,

⇒       F=ma

⇒    47.0=m\times 3.20

⇒       m=\frac{47.0}{3.20}

⇒           =14.6875 \ kg
