Explanation:

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, it will exert the force in the test charge in the direction of electric field vector. We know that the direction of electric field is given by electric field lines. The field lines for a positive charge is outwards. The electric force acting on the charge is given by :

F = q E

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

68.8 Hz

137.6 Hz, 206.4 Hz

Explanation:

L = Length of tube = 2.5 m

v = Velocity of sound in air = 344 m/s

Distance between nodes is given by

$L=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}+m\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\lambda(n+1)}{2}=L\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{2L}{n+1}$

Where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

Making n+1 = n

$\lambda=\dfrac{2L}{n}$

where n = 1, 2, 3 .....

For fundamental frequency n = 1

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\times 2.5}{1}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=5\ m$

Frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{344}{5}\\\Rightarrow f=68.8\ Hz$

The fundamental frequency is 68.8 Hz

First overtone

$2f=2\times 68.8=137.6\ Hz$

Second overtone

$3f=3\times 68.8=206.4\ Hz$

The overtones are 137.6 Hz, 206.4 Hz

What are greenhouse gasses? How does carbon dioxide enter the atmosphere? (Site 1)

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range

Explanation:

Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

The sound level of one person talking at a certain distance from you is 61 dB. If she is joined by 5 more friends, and all of th

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

For sound level in decibel scale the relation is

dB = 10 log I / I₀ where I₀ = 10⁻¹² and I is intensity of sound whose decibel scale is to be calculated .

Putting the given values

61 = 10 log I / 10⁻¹²

log I / 10⁻¹² = 6.1

I = 10⁻¹² x 10⁶°¹

$=10^{-5.9}$

intensity of sound of 5 persons

$I=5\times 10^{-5.9}$

$dB=10log\frac{5 X 10^{-5.9}}{10^{-12}}$

= 10log 5 x 10⁶°¹

= 10( 6.1 + log 5 )

= 67.98

sound level will be 67.98 dB .
