The goal of scientific method is to produce public knowledge. That is knowledge available to any person with sufficient education, all such knowledge can be verified by or deduced from experiments and observations.

A 40-cmcm-long tube has a 40-cmcm-long insert that can be pulled in and out. A vibrating tuning fork is held next to the tube. A

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

1070 Hz

Explanation:

First, I should point out there might be a typo in the question or the question has inconsistent values. If the tube is 40 cm long, standing waves cannot be produced at 42.5 cm and 58.5 cm lengths. I assume the length is more than the value in the question then. Under this assumption, we proceed as below:

The insert in the tube creates a closed pipe with one end open and the other closed. For a closed pipe, the difference between successive resonances is a half wavelength $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ .

Hence, we have

$\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=58.5-42.5=16 \text{ cm}$

$\lambda=32\text{ cm}=0.32 \text{ m}$ .

The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency.

$v=f\lambda$

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

$f=\dfrac{343}{0.32}=1070 \text{ Hz}$

A ship's propeller of diameter 3 m makes 10.6 revolutions in 30s. What is the angular velocity of the propeller?

ycow [4]

Answer:

The angular velocity of the propeller is 2.22 rad/s.

Explanation:

The angular velocity (ω) of the propeller is:

$\omega = \frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$

Where:

θ: is the angular displacement = 10.6 revolutions

t: is the time = 30 s

$\omega = \frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t} = \frac{10.6 rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}}{30 s} = 2.22 rad/s$

Therefore, the angular velocity of the propeller is 2.22 rad/s.

I hope it helps you!

What is the freezing point of an aqueous solution that boils at 101 degrees C? Kfp = 1.86 K/m and Kbp = 0.512 K/m. Enter your an

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

-3.63 degree Celsius

Explanation:

We are given that

Boiling point of solution= $T_b=101^{\circ}$ C

Boiling point water=100 degree Celsius

$K_f=1.86K/m$

$K_b=0.512 K/m$

$\Delta T_b=T-T_0$

Where $T$ =Boiling point of solution

$T_0=$ Boiling point of pure solvent

$\Delta T_b=101-100=1^{\circ}$ C

$\Delta T_b=k_bm$

Using the formula

$1=0.512\times m$

Molality, $m=\frac{1}{0.512}$ m

$\Delta T_f=k_fm$

Using the formula

$\Delta T_f=\frac{1}{0.512}\times 1.86$

$\Delta T_f=3.63 C$

We know that

$\Delta T_f=T_0-T_1$

Where $T_0$ =Freezing point of solvent

$T_1=$ Freezing point of solution

Using the formula

$3.63=0-T_1$

Freezing point of water=0 degree Celsius

$T_1=0-3.63=-3.63 C$

Hence, the freezing point of solution=-3.63 degree Celsius

An electron is projected vertically upward with a speed of 1.70 ✕ 106 m/s into a uniform magnetic field of 0.320 t that is direc

Serggg [28]

The electron's path in the magnetic field is a straight line when viewed from above.

In fact, the electron initially moves upward, while the magnetic field is directed horizontally. The electron experiences a force due to the magnetic field (the Lorentz force), whose direction is given by the right-hand rule:
- index finger --> initial direction of the electron (upward)
- middle finger --> direction of the magnetic field (horizontally, away from the observer)
- opposite direction to the thumb* --> direction of the force (horizontally, but perpendicular to the magnetic field, to the right)

This means that the Lorentz force makes the electron moving perpendicular to the magnetic field in the horizontal plane, and since the direction of the field is not changing, this force does not change its direction, so the electron moves in the same direction of the force in the horizontal plane (to the right), therefore following a straight line.

* the direction should be reversed because the charge is negative.
