The speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Frequency, f = 11999Hz
Wavelength, λ = 0.03m
Velocity, v = ?
Sound speed in the tube is calculated by multiplying the frequency v by the wavelength λ.
As the sound loudness changed from a maximum to a minimum, then we know the sound interference in the case changed from constructive interference (the two sound waves are in phase, i.e. peaks are in a line with peaks and so the troughs), to a destructive interference (peaks coinciding with troughs). The least distance change required to cause such a change is a half wavelength distance, so:
λ/2 = 0.03/2
λ = 0.06m
We know,
v = λf
v = 0.06 X 11999Hz
v = 719.94m/s
Therefore, the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

what I don't know show a question mark me as brainleast
Why: As the steel ball rolls uphill, the velocity gradually decreases and finally the ball stops, thus, the acceleration will be in the opposite direction of motion (that is downhill). After the stop, the ball will start rolling downhill by an increasing velocity, thus, the acceleration in this case will be in the same direction as the motion (downhill again).
