Yes that would be correct. But if its an essay I'd be a bit more elaborate and give examples.

Suppose a plot of inverse wavelength vs frequency has slope equal to 0.119, what is the speed of sound traveling in the tube to

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

$m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}$

Now,

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}$

$\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s$

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s

The seatbelt across your chest should have about ______ fist width of slack

OLEGan [10]

The correct answer is option (c) i.e. one

<span>The seat belt across your chest should have about one fist width of the slack. Because the seat belt across your chest is required to have minimum fist width of the slack to hold the body in place and to avoid slamming of the body against the seat belt in case of a collision at high speeds. To have one fist width of the slack, makes it a safest to wear it in case of any collision. </span>

Energy that is 'lost" to heat, has merely been converted to another form, not<br> lost forever.

MAXImum [283]

Answer: if the heat energy is wasted, then, energy is lost forever.

Explanation: According to conservative of energy, which state that energy is neither created nor destroyed but only convert from one form to another.

The energy which should have been used in one form has been converted to heat energy which could have been used for for thing or the other, if there is nothing the heat energy can be used for, then the energy is wasted. This is tantamount to being lost forever.

Most grandfather clocks have pendulums with adjustable lengths. One such clock gains 10 min per day when the length of its pendu

7nadin3 [17]

The length to which the pendulum will be adjusted to keep perfect time is 29.59 inches. See the explanation below.

<h3>What is the justification for the above answer?</h3>

T1 = 2πR√(L1/GM)

and

T2 = 2πR√(L1/GM)

T1/T2 = √(L1/L2).

If the pendulum has an efficient period, that means it executes with perfect frequency.

Thus,

T2 = (24 * 60)/x

= 1440/x

This means that in one day, there are perfect cycles of represented by "x". Note that there are 1440 minutes in one day.

If the other Pendulum is slower by 10 minutes, that means

T1 = 1450/x

Hence

(1450/x)/(1440/x) = √(L1/L2).

⇒ 1450/1440 = √(L1/L2).

Thus,

(1450/1440)² = 30/L

L = 30/(1450/1440)²

L = 30/(1.00694444444)²

L = 30/1.01393711419

L = 29.5876337695

L $\approx$ 29.59 inches.

Hence, the pendulum will need to be adjusted by 29.59 inches to ensure that the clock keeps perfect time.
