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 leaky faucet drips once each second. at this rate, it takes 1 hour to fill a 1-liter graduated cylinder to the 200-cm3 mark. w
UNO [17]
Define
v = volume of a drop per second, cm³/s

The time taken to fill 200 cm³ is 1 hour.
Let V = 200 cm³, the filled volume.
Let t = 1 h = 3600 s, the time required to fill the volume.

Therefore,
\frac{200 \,  cm^{3}}{v \, cm^{3}/s}  = 3600 \, s \\ v =  \frac{200}{3600} =0.0556 \, cm^{3}

The average volume of a single drop is approximately 0.0556 cm³.

Answer: 0.0556 cm³

HELP PLS.<br><br><br>What are the characteristics of the three states of matter?
vredina [299]

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. Hopefully this helps:)

What is the weight of a feather (mass = 0.0001 kg) that floats through earth's and the moon's atmospheres?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.

The feather's weight is . . .

On Earth:  (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>

On the Moon:  (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>

The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference.  In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup.  Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth.  It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.
