Answer:29.627 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of life preserver(u) is 1.6 m/s

it takes 2.3 s to reach the water

using equation of motion

v=u+at

v=1.6+9.81\times 2.3

v=24.163 m/s

Let s be the height of life preserver

v^2-u^2=2gs

24.163^2-1.6^2=2\times 9.81\times s

s=\frac{581.29}{2\times 9.81}

s=29.627 m

Find the fundamental frequency and the next three frequencies that could cause standing-wave patterns on a string that is 30.0 m
maksim [4K]

Answer:

0.786 Hz, 1.572 Hz, 2.358 Hz, 3.144 Hz

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of a standing wave on a string is given by

f=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

where

L is the length of the string

T is the tension in the string

\mu is the mass per unit length

For the string in the problem,

L = 30.0 m

\mu=9.00\cdot 10^{-3} kg/m

T = 20.0 N

Substituting into the equation, we find the fundamental frequency:

f=\frac{1}{2(30.0)}\sqrt{\frac{20.0}{(9.00\cdot 10^{-3}}}=0.786 Hz

The next frequencies (harmonics) are given by

f_n = nf

with n being an integer number and f being the fundamental frequency.

So we get:

f_2 = 2 (0.786 Hz)=1.572 Hz

f_3 = 3 (0.786 Hz)=2.358 Hz

f_4 = 4 (0.786 Hz)=3.144 Hz

1 Weather-Weather is the state of the atmosphere, describing for example the degree to which it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy

 a Without the atmosphere, average temperature on Earth would be freezing! Below zero to be exact!

b The atmosphere protects us and animals from dangerous radiation from the Sun. Ultraviolet radiation is basically invisible rays of energy created by the sun.

cAlso, the atmosphere provides oxygen for humans and animals to breathe and C02 (Carbon dioxide) for plants. 

4 warmth 

5 yes it is The water on our Earth today is the same water that’s been here for nearly 5 billion years. Only a tiny bit of it has escaped out into space. As far as we know, new water hasn’t formed either.

That means there’s a very high chance the water in your glass is what thirsty dinosaurs were gulping about 65 million years ago.
