Why is it important to understand the concept of density ?

Physics

N76 [4]2 years ago
8 0
Density applies to many if not all aspects of life.  With density you can explain why ice floats.   You can explain why oxygen is on the earth, and not floating around in space( or being replaced by another gas).  You can also explain why heat rises while cold air sinks.

A boat radioed a distress call to a Coast Guard station. At the time of the call, a vector A from the station to the boat had a
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

d = 39.7 km

Explanation:

initial position of the boat is 45 km away at an angle of 15 degree East of North

so we will have

r_1 = 45 sin15 \hat i + 45 cos15 \hat j

r_1 = 11.64 \hat i + 43.46\hat j

after some time the final position of the boat is found at 30 km at 15 Degree North of East

so we have

r_2 = 30 cos15\hat i + 30 sin15 \hat j

r_2 = 28.98\hat i + 7.76 \hat j

now the displacement of the boat is given as

d = r_2 - r_1

d = (28.98\hat i + 7.76 \hat j) - (11.64 \hat i + 43.46\hat j)

d = 17.34 \hat i - 35.7 \hat j

so the magnitude is given as

d = \sqrt{17.34^2 + 35.7^2}

d = 39.7 km

Parasaurolophus was a dinosaur whose distinguishing feature was a hollow crest on the head. The 1.3 m long hollow tube in the cr
yarga [219]

Answer:

67.31 Hz, 201.92 Hz, 336.54 Hz

Explanation:

Resonance also known as standing wave occur when a uniform tube is closed at one end and open at the other end.  

For a resonance wave in a tube with length b, wavelength λ of resonance wave is 4b because a quarter wave is formed in the tube, that is,  

           λ = 4b.  

When the speed of sound is c, the frequency of sound, f, is  

           f = c /λ,  

and therefore,  

           f = c / ( 4b ).  

From the question,

When c = 350 m/s and b = 1.3 m,  

using the formula            

fn = c / ( 4b ) × n (n = 1, 3, 5, ...).  

The first three resonant frequencies are;

First resonance frequency is

f = 350 / (4*1.3) * 1 = 67.31 Hz

Second resonance frequency is

f = 350 / (4*1.3) * 3 = 201.92 Hz

Third resonance frequency is

f = 350 / (4*1.3) * 5 = 336.54 Hz
