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

Which is a more objective measurement, sound intensity or loudness, and why? 1. sound intensity is exactly same as loudness. 2.
fgiga [73]
The correct answer is:
<span>2. sound intensity is a more objective and physical attribute of a sound wave because loudness can vary from person to person

indeed, sound intensity is a measurable quantity, and so it is objective, while loudness is the subjective perception of the sound level, so it varies from person to person.</span>

A bell is ringing inside of a sealed glass jar that is connected to a vacuum pump. Initially, the jar is filled with air. What d
Mila [183]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical wave. A mechanical wave requires a material medium for propagation. This means that sound waves must be carried in air. If there are no air molecules, sound waves can not travel.

When air is gradually removed from the jar by the pump, the sound intensity from the bell gradually decreases owing to the fact that air which is the medium through which sound waves are propagated is gradually being removed from the jar.

A 500kg car is driving through a neighborhood at 20m/s. Then the car hits a speed bump which causes it to slow to 15m/s. What wa
lawyer [7]

Based on the formula for calculating impulse, the impulse of the speed bump to the car is 2500 Ns.

<h3>What is the impulse of the speed bump?</h3>

  • Impulse = change in momentum
  • momentum = mass * velocity

Change in momentum = mu - mv

where u is initial velocity

v is final velocity

Impulse = 500 * 20  - 500 * 15

Impulse = 2500 Ns

Therefore, the impulse of the speed bump to the car is 2500 Ns.
