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

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a
Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = 3.1 m

Width of the window = 2.1 m

Area of the window = (3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

                                           = (1.0-0.954) atm = 0.046 atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒  1 atm = 101325 Pa

⇒ 0.046 atm = 0.046\times 101325 =4660.95 Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}

⇒ Force =Pressure\times Area

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ Force =4660.95\times 6.51

⇒ Force=30342.78 Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

what is the force if a block of wood with mass 20 kg slides along a frictionless surface at 2 m/s squared
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass of object and a is the acceleration.

Since there is no friction, substituting 20 Kg for m and 2 m/s squared for a then we obtain

F=20*2=40 N

A cannon with a muzzle speed of 1 000 m/s is used to start an avalanche on a mountain slope. The target is 2 000 m from the cann
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

∅ = 89.44°

Explanation:

In situations like this air resistance are usually been neglected thereby making g= 9.81 m/s^{2}

Bring out the given parameters from the question:

Initial Velocity (V_{1}) = 1000 m/s

Target distance (d) = 2000 m

Target height (h) =  800 m

Projection angle ∅ = ?

Horizontal distance = V_{1x}tcos ∅     .......................... Equation 1

where V_{1x} = velocity in the X - direction

           t = Time taken

Vertical Distance = y = V_{1y} t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}        ................... Equation 2

Where   V_{1y} = Velocity in the Y- direction

              t  = Time taken

V_{1y} = V_{1}sin∅

Making time (t) subject of the formula in Equation 1

                    t = d/(V_{1x}cos ∅)

                      t = \frac{2000}{1000coso} = \frac{2}{cos0}  =    \frac{d}{cos o}             ...................Equation 3

substituting equation 3 into equation 2

Vertical Distance = d = V_{1y} \frac{d}{cos o} - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

                                  Vertical Distance = h = sin∅ \frac{d}{cos o} - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

  Vertical Distance = h = dtan∅   - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{2}{cos0}   ^{2}

  Applying geometry

                              \frac{1}{cos o} = tan^{2} o + 1

  Vertical Distance = h = d tan∅   - 2 g (tan^{2} o + 1)

               substituting the given parameters

               800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 2 (9.81)( tan^{2} o + 1)

              800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 19.6( tan^{2} o + 1)  Equation 4

Replacing tan ∅ = Q     .....................Equation 5

In order to get a quadratic equation that can be easily solve.

            800 = 2000 Q - 19.6Q^{2} + 19.6

Rearranging 19.6Q^{2} - 2000 Q + 780.4 = 0

                    Q_{1} = 101.6291

                      Q_{2} = 0.411

    Inserting the value of Q Into Equation 5

                 tan ∅ = 101.63    or tan ∅ = 0.4114

Taking the Tan inverse of each value of Q

                  ∅ = 89.44°     ∅ = 22.37°

Which statement correctly describes why a compound is a pure substance?
ad-work [718]

Explanation:

A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.
