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

Answers:

a) $T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}$

b) $a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}$

Explanation:

a) Since we are told the satellites circle the space station at constant speed, we can assume they follow a uniform circular motion and their tangential speeds $V$ are given by:

$V=\omega L=\frac{2\pi}{T} L$ (1)

Where:

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

$L$ is the radius of the orbit of each satellite

$T$ is the period of the orbit of each satellite

Isolating $T$ :

$T=\frac{2 \pi L}{V}$ (2)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

$T_{1}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{1}}=261.79 s$ (3)

$T_{2}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{2}}=1570.79 s$ (4)

$T_{3}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{3}}=196.349 s$ (5)

$T_{4}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{4}}=98.174 s$ (6)

$T_{5}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{5}}=785.398 s$ (7)

$T_{6}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{6}}=196.349 s$ (8)

Ordering this periods from largest to smallest:

$T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}$

b) Acceleration $a$ is defined as the variation of velocity in time:

$a=\frac{V}{T}$ (9)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

$a_{1}=\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=0.458 m/s^{2}$ (10)

$a_{2}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}=0.0254 m/s^{2}$ (11)

$a_{3}=\frac{V_{3}}{T_{3}}=0.4074 m/s^{2}$ (12)

$a_{4}=\frac{V_{4}}{T_{4}}=1.629 m/s^{2}$ (13)

$a_{5}=\frac{V_{5}}{T_{5}}=0.101 m/s^{2}$ (14)

$a_{6}=\frac{V_{6}}{T_{6}}=0.814 m/s^{2}$ (15)

Ordering this acceerations from largest to smallest:

$a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}$

A ball is thrown into the air with a vertical velocity of 50 m/s and a horizontal

daser333 [38]

$\mathfrak{\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}$

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Projectile Motion.

Since, here given that, vertical velocity= 50m/s

we know that u*sin(theta) = vertical velocity

so the time taken to reach the maximum height or the time of Ascent is equal to

T = Usin(theta) ÷ g, here g = 9.8 m/s^2

so we get as,

T = 50/9.8

T = 5.10 seconds

thus the time taken to reach max height is 5.10 seconds.

A small spinning asteroid is in a circular orbit around a star, much like the earth's motion around our sun. The asteroid has a

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Temperature will be 305 K

Explanation:

We have given The asteroid has a surface area $A=7.70m^2$

Power absorbed P = 3800 watt

Boltzmann constant $\sigma =5.67\times 10^{-8}Wm/K^4$

According to Boltzmann rule power radiated is given by

$P=\sigma AT^4$

$3800=5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 7.70\times T^4$

$T^4=87.0381\times 10^8$

$T=305K$

So temperature will be 305 K

WHERE IS THE HYPOTHESIS IN THIS PASSAGE?

yuradex [85]

Answer:

pretty sure for this one, "if the density affected the liquid's ability to retain heat."

Explanation:

a hypothesis should be in "if, then, because.." format, and while this bit of the passage doesnt include all three, it does include one! that bit of the passage would be an incomplete hypothesis.
