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

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:  The minimum time between pulses (in fresh water)

= 0.3106 s

Explanation:

To calculate the speed of echoes sounds, we will use

Speed = 2x/t

Where x = distance and t = total time.

Please note that:

sound travels at 343 m/s in air. But it travels at 1,481 m/s in water (almost 4.3 times as fast as in air); 

Total distance = 2 × 230 = 460m

Using speed of sound in water

1481 = 460/t

t = 460/1481

t = 0.3106

A train is moving with a velocity of 20 m/s. when the brakes are applied the acceleration is reduced to -0.6 m/s².calculate the
Serhud [2]

Answer:

x = 333.33 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation.

v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2}-(2*a*x)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 20 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 0.6 [m/s^2]

x = distance [m]

Note: the final speed is zero as the body finishes its movement.

Now replacing:

0 = (20)^2 - (2*0.6*x)

1.2*x = 400

x = 333.33 [m]
