Most people can detect frequencies as high as 20 000 Hz. Assuming the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s, determine the wavelength

of the sound corresponding to this upper range of audible hearing.

Formula to solve for the wavelength: w = s/f

w = wavelength

s = speed

f = frequency

Solve using the given values.

w = 345/20000

w = 0.01725

Round if necessary.

0.0173

Therefore, the wavelength is approximately 0.0173 meters.

Best of Luck!

Wavelength = speed / frequency

(345 m/s) / (20,000 Hz) = 0.017 m

An atom of uranium 238 emits an alpha particle (an atom of He) and recoils with a velocity of 1.895 * 10^ 5 m/sec . With velocit

<u>Answer:</u> The velocity of released alpha particle is 1.127\times 10^7m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to law of conservation of momentum, momentum can neither be created nor be destroyed until and unless, an external force is applied.

For a system:

m_1v_1=m_2v_2

where,

m_1\text{ and }v_1 = Initial mass and velocity

m_2\text{ and }v_2 = Final mass and velocity

We are given:

m_1=238u\\v_1=1.895\times 10^{5}m/s\\m_2=4u\text{ (Mass of }\alpha \text{ -particle)}\\v_2=?m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

238\times 1.895\times 10^5=4\times v_2\\\\v_2=\frac{238\times 1.895\times 10^5}{4}=1.127\times 10^7m/s

Hence, the velocity of released alpha particle is 1.127\times 10^7m/s

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 6 m/s2 for 4 seconds. What is the final speed of the motorcycle in m/s
givi [52]

Initial velocity = Vo= 25 m/s

Final velocity = V = x

Acceleration= a = 6 m/s^2

time= t = 4 seconds

Appy the equation:

V = Vo + at

Replacing:

V = 25 + 6(4) = 25 + 24 = 49 m/s
