A person hums into the top of a well (tube open at only one end) and finds that standing waves are established at frequencies of

40.6, 67.7, and 94.7 Hz. The frequency of 40.6 Hz is not necessarily the fundamental frequency. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. How deep is the well?

Answer:

Explanation:

The resonance in a tube that is open at one end and closed at the other, we can find it because in the closed part you have a node and in the open part you have a belly, so for the fundamental frequency you have ¼ Lam, the different resonances are:

Fundamental              λ = 4L

3 harmonica               λ  = 4L / 3

5 Harmonica               λ = 4L / 5

General harmonica     λ = 4L / (2n-1)                n = 1, 2, 3

Let's apply this equation to our case

The speed of sound is given by

          v =  λ  f

          λ = v / f

Let's look for wavelengths

         λ₁ = 40.6 / 343 = 0.1184 m

         λ₂ = 67.7 / 343 = 0.1974 m

         λ₃ = 94.7 / 343 = 0.2761 m

Since the wavelengths are close we can assume that it corresponds to consecutive integers, where for the first one it corresponds to the integer n

          λ ₁ = 4L / (2n-1)

          λ₂ = 4L / (2 (n + 1) -1) = 4L / (2n +1)

          λ₃ = 4L / (2 (n + 2) -1) = 4L / (2n + 3)

Let's clear in the first and second equations

          2n-1 = 4L / λ₁

          2n +1 = 4L / λ₂

Let's solve the system of equations

         4L / λ₁ + 1 = 4L / λ₂ -1

         4L / λ₂ – 4L / λ₁ = 2

         2L (1 / λ₂ - 1 / λ₁) = 1

         1 / L = 2 (1 / λ₂ -1 / λ₁)

         1 / L = 2 (1 / 0.1974 - 1 / 0.1184)

         1 / L = 2 (5,066 - 8,446) = -6.76

         L = 0.1479 m

A 50 N object is on Earth. What is its mass?
faust18 [17]

Answer:   5.10 KG

Explanation:  W = 50 N

                       BY FORMULA

                         W = MG

                          M = W/G

                          M = 50 /9.8

                          M=  5.10 KG

a single 1,300 jk cargo car is rolling along a train track at 2.0 m/s when 400 kg of coal is dropped vertically into it. what is
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

1.53 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car (M) = 1300 kg

Mass of the coal (m) = 400 kg

Initial velocity of the car (U) = 2 m/s

Initial velocity of the coal (u) = 0 m/s (Since it is dropped)

When the coal is dropped into the car, then they move with same final velocity.

Let the final velocity be 'v' m/s.

For a closed system, the law of conservation of momentum holds true.

So, initial momentum is equal to final momentum of the car-coal system.

Initial momentum of the car = MU=1300\times 2=2600\ Ns

Initial momentum of the coal = mu=0\ Ns

Total initial momentum is the sum of the above two momentums.

So, total initial momentum = 2600 + 0 = 2600 Ns

Now, final momentum is given as the product of combined mass and final velocity. So,

Final momentum of the system = (M+m)v=(1300+400)v=1700v

Now, from law of conservation of momentum,

Initial momentum = Final momentum

2600=1700v\\\\v=\frac{2600}{1700}\\\\v=1.53\ m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of either of the two masses is same is equal to 1.53 m/s.
