The basic formula for the harmonic of a standing wave, describing the relation between the length and the wavelength is, L=\left(\frac{n}{2}\right) \lambda

<u>Explanation:</u>

Standing waves are produced if two waves of same frequencies interfere each other in such a way that it produce points that appears to be standing still in the medium.  

On studying the wave patterns analytically, we see that there is a direct relationship between the length of the medium in which the wave pattern is seen and the wavelength of the waves.

With other experimental researches and studies, it has been concluded that the length of the medium that draws a string covered by a harmonic of a standing wave is equal to half of wavelength of the wave pattern i.e., the equation for the nth harmonic of a standing wave is,

               L=\left(\frac{n}{2}\right) \lambda

Where,

L- Length of the string covered by the single loop of a complete wave

n- An integer representing the harmonic number

A sound source is located somewhere along the x-axis. Experiments show that the same wave front simultaneously reaches listeners
guapka [62]

Answer:

a)   x₀ = - 2 m  , b)     y = 4.47 m

Explanation:

A wave travels in the middle with constant speed, let's use the equation of uniform motion

    v = d / t

    t = d / v

The distance to the first listeners, see attached

    d₁ = x₀-x

     t = (x₀ +7) / v

The distance to the second listener

    d₂ = x - x₀

     t = (+ 3- x₀) / v

As the wave arrives at the same time, we can equal the two equations

     (x₀ +7) / v = (3 -x₀) / v

      x₀ + 7 = 3 - x₀

      2 x₀ = 3 - 7

      x₀ = -4/2

      x₀ = - 2 m

b) The time it takes for the wave to reach the listeners of the x-axis, where the speed of sound is 340 m / s

          t = 5/340

          t = 0.0147 s

Let's look for the distance the wave travels for the listener axis and

       v = d₃ / t

       d₃ = v.t

       d₃ = 340 * 0.0147

       d₃ = 5 m

For the distance component we use the Pythagorean triangle

      d₃² = x₀² + y²

      y² = d₃² - x₀²

     y = √ (d₃² -4)

      y = √ (5² -4)

     y = 4.47 m

A distance of 0.002 m separates two objects of equal mass. If the gravitational force between them is
Alika [10]

Answer: 24.97 kg

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects of masses M1, and M2 respectively, and separated by a distance R, is:

F = G*(M1*M2)/R^2

Where G is the gravitational constant:

G = 6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2)

In this case, we know that

R = 0.002m

F = 0.0104 N

and that M1 = M2 = M

And we want to find the value of M, then we can replace those values in the equation to get

0.0104 N = (6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2))*(M*M)/(0.002m)^2

(0.0104 N)*(0.002m)^2/(6.67*10^-11 m^3/(kg*s^2)) = M^2

623.69 kg^2 = M^2

√(623.69 kg^2) = M = 24.97 kg

This means that the mass of each object is 24.97 kg

In what ways would organisms living in very deep water need to be specialized?
Nady [450]

Organisms living in great depths of water bodies like oceans and lakes need to be adapted for two (2) things especially; high water pressure and vision in darkness

The water column above from deep in the water can cause lots of hydrostatic pressure on the organisms’ cells. Also the fact that light cannot penetrate to great depth of water due to diffusion means the organisms must live in darkness.

Explanation:

It has been shown that cells from Piezophile bacteria have a high percentage of fatty acids in their membranes to prevent the cells from compacting solid from the high pressure.

Most of the organisms are also detritivores and use chemosynthesis for the autotrophs because light cannot reach these depths and hence photosynthesis is not possible.  Organisms with eye vision are adapted to high wavelength light that can at least reach greater depths before diffusing. Nonetheless natural selection would favour use of sight for most organisms in this benthic region.

A subducting oceanic plate
beks73 [17]

Maybe this would help understand it better.

<span>Tectonic plates can transport both continental crust and oceanic crust, or they may be made of only one kind of crust. Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. At a subduction zone, the oceanic crust usually sinks into the mantle beneath lighter continental crust</span>
