PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION
sdas [7]

Answer:

0.34 m

Explanation:

From the question,

v = λf................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of sound, f = frequency, λ = Wave length

Make λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/f............... Equation 2

Given: v = 340 m/s, f = 500 Hz.

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = 340/500

λ = 0.68 m

But,  the distance between a point of rarefaction and the next compression point, in the resulting sound is half wave length

Therefore,

λ/2 = 0.68/2

λ/2 = 0.34 m

Hence, the distance between a point of rarefaction and the next compression point, in the resulting sound is 0.34 m

When multiple forces are at work on an object, the net force is called a ______.
natka813 [3]

When multiple forces are at work on an object, the net force is called a <em>resultant</em>, because it's a sum of vectors, and a sum of vectors is called their resultant.

A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 21.0 m/sm/s from the edge of the roof of a 21.0-mm-tall building. The r
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

A.

Given:

Vo = 21 m/s

Vf = 0 m/s

Using equation of Motion,

Vf^2 = Vo^2 - 2aS

S = (21^2)/2 × 9.8

= 22.5 m.

B.

Given:

S = 22.5 + 21 mm

= 22.521 m

Vo = 0 m/s

Using the equation of motion,

S = Vo × t + 1/2 × a × t^2

22.521 = 0 + 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

t^2 = (2 × 22.521)/9.8

= 4.6

t = 2.14 s

Mathematically speaking, the energy of a wave is directionally proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave Calculate
kenny6666 [7]

The energy of the wave is D) 16.0 units squared

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

Mathematically, this can be written as

E\propto A^2

where

E is the energy of the wave

A is its amplitude

For the wave in this problem, the amplitude is

A = 4 units

Therefore, assuming that the constant of proportionality is 1, the energy of this wave is

E=A^2=4^2=16 units squared
