A student uses an audio oscillator of adjustable frequency to measure the depth of a water well. The student reports hearing two

successive resonances at 53.95 Hz and 59.00 Hz. (Assume that the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.)
(a) How deep is the well?
(b) How many antinodes are in the standing wave at 53.95 Hz?

Answer:

a)     L = 33.369 m , b) 21

Explanation:

The analysis of the ocean depth can be performed assuming that at the bottom of the ocean there is a node and the surface must have a belly, so the expression for resonance is

         λ = 4 L / n

         n = 1, 3, 5, ...

The speed of the wave is

         v = λ f

        v = 4L / n f

        L = n v / 4f

Let's write the expression for the two frequencies

       L = n₁ 343/4 53.95

       L = n₁ 1,589

       

       L = n₂ 343/4 59

       L = n₂ 1.4539

Let's solve the two equations

       n₁ 1,589 = n₂ 1,459

       n₁ / n₂ = 1.4539 / 1.589

       n₁ / n2 = 0.91498

Since the two frequencies are very close the whole numbers must be of consecutive resonances, let's test what values ​​give this value

  n₁    n₂    n₁ / n₂

  1      3       0.3

  3     5       0.6

  5     7        0.7

  7     9        0.77

  9    11        0.8

  17   19       0.89

  19  21        0.905

  21  23       0.913

  23 25       0.92

Therefore the relation of the nodes is n₁ = 21  and n₂ = 23

Let's calculate

                L = n₁ 1,589

                L = 21  1,589

                L = 33.369 m

b) the number of node and nodes is equal therefore there are 21 antinode

A railroad track and a road cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road and watches an eastbound train traveling at 60
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m

Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:

y(t) = 60t

Now,

To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:

Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:

z(t) = \sqrt{x^{2} + y(t)^{2}}

z(t) = \sqrt{70^{2} + 60t^{2}}

Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 2t\times 3600

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600t

For t = 4 s:

\frac{dz(4)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600\times 4^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600\times 4 = 57.6\ m/s

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Answer: It takes 5,730 years for half the carbon-14 to change to nitrogen; this is the half-life of carbon-14. After another 5,730 years only one-quarter of the original carbon-14 will remain

A solenoid with an inductance of 8 mH is connected in series with a resistance of 5 Ω and an EMF forming a series RL circuit. A
monitta

Answer:

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law  direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF

Explanation:

given data

inductance = 8 mH

resistance = 5 Ω

current = 4.0 A

time t = 0

current grow = 4.0 A to 10.0 A

to find out

value and the direction of the induced EMF

solution

we get here induced EMF of induction is express as

E = - L \frac{dI}{dt}    ...................1

so E = - L \frac{I2 - I1}{dt}

put here value we get

E = - 8 × 10^{-3} \frac{10 - 4}{0.2*10^{-3}}

E = -40 ×  6

E = -240

take magnitude

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law we get direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF
