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

B. If you press that into a calculator it comes up with 153.6. You then shift the decimal point 2 times forward and you end up getting 1.5 x 10^2 V.

A bag of sugar weighs 5.00 lb on Earth. What would it weigh in newtons on the Moon, where the free-fall acceleration is one-sixt
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Earth: 22.246 N

Moon: 3.71 N

Jupiter: 58.72 N

Explanation:

The mass of an object will remain constant in any location, its weight however, can fluctuate depending on its location. For example, a golf ball will weigh less on the moon, but its mass will not be different if it was on earth.

To calculate anything, we need to convert to standard measurements.

5.00 lbs = 2.27 kg

On earth, gravity is measured to be 9.8 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on Earth would be: (2.27 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 22.246 N

Repeated on the moon where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (1/6) = 1.633 m/s², so the weight in Newtons on the moon would be: (2.27 kg) x (1.633 m/s²) = 3.71 N

Repeated on Jupiter where gravity is (9.8 m/s²) x (2.64) = 25.87 m/s², so the wight in Newtons on Jupiter would be: (2.27 kg) x (25.87 m/s²) = 58.72 N

Which is an example of an unstructured activity that promotes resistance training?
aleksandrvk [35]
One possible unstructured activity that promotes resistance training would be climbing playground equimpent - A. 

This is by nature a unstructured ctivity. Furthermore, it promotes resistance training because you're forced to move and pull and push yourself.
