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

Three resistors, 21 Ω, 58 Ω, and 64 Ω, are connected in series, and a 0.50-A current passes through them. What are (a) the equiv
adoni [48]
<h2>a) Equivalent resistance is 143 Ω</h2><h2>b) Potential difference is 71.5 V</h2>

Explanation:

When resistors are connected in series, effective resistance is given by

                R_{eff}=R_1+R_2+R_3+......

Here

         R₁ = 21Ω

         R₂ = 58Ω

         R₃ = 64Ω

a)      R_{eff}=R_1+R_2+R_3\\\\R_{eff}=21+58+64\\\\R_{eff}=143\Omega

  Equivalent resistance is 143 Ω

b) We know

               Potential difference = Current x Resistance

               V = IR

               I = 0.5 A

               R = 143Ω

Substituting

               V = 0.5 x 143 = 71.5 V

Potential difference is 71.5 V

Can anyone please help me on this question (DUE TOMORROW) (13 POINTS GO AWAY)
julia-pushkina [17]

4.) Quantitative: notice the root word 'quantity', which is a certain percentage of something.

a.) Quantitative, since it represents a certain percentage. The weight before the camp could also be written as an improper fraction.

b.) This is also quantitative because it can be written as a ratio(2.99:500), which can also be written as a fraction(\frac{2.99}{500} or percentage.

c.) This is qualitative. Joan has a higher percentage than Emile.

d.) Qualitative. It judges the quality of something instead of amount. To make it quantitative requires a fraction of percentage. In this case, maybe you could add how he can run y miles every x seconds.

5.)

a.)This depends on whether or not the air is moving. If the classroom's AC is on, or the window is open, then the correct unit to use is CFM (cubic feet per minute). If not, the common unit is milliliters, but must also include temperature and air pressure as well as the volume of the room.

b.)  Simply calculate the volume of the can using inches cubed, since volume is the measure of how much space an object takes up.

c.) The unit would be \frac{kg}{ft^3}. If \frac{mass}{volume} = density, then simply multiply your density by your mass.

d.) I personally would use centimeters. Inches would work too, but centimeters would be much more accurate.

e.) Use the same formula for c.), which means kilograms per cubic foot.

Hope this helped.

In an experiment, students measure the position x of a cart as a function of time t for a cart that starts at rest and moves wit
Minchanka [31]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s² .

To Find :

The acceleration of the cart.

Solution :

Since, acceleration is constant.

Using equation of motion :

x = ut + \dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{at^2}{2}

Putting, t = 1 s  and x = 4 m in above equation, we get :

4 = \dfrac{a(1)^2}{2}\\\\a = 8 \  m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 8 m/s².
