Δλ =  3.103 m.

To solve this problem we have to know the speed of sound in both elements water and ice.

Element            Speed of sound

Water (25°C)           1493 m/s

Ice                           3200 m/s

The velocity of a wave is given by the equation v = λf, where λ is the wavelength, and f is the frecuency of the wave.

In order to calculate the wavelength we have to clear λ in the equation v = λf, resulting:

λ = v/f

Calculating the wavelength in both elements:

λ(water) = 1493 m/s / 550 Hz = 2.715 m

λ(ice) = 3200 m/s / 550 Hz = 5.818 m

So, the difference in wavelength between the wave produced in ice and the wave produced in water is:

Δλ = λ(water) - λ(ice) = 5.818 m - 2.715 m

Δλ =  3.103 m

How do lines of latitude affect how direct or indirect the Sun’s rays are on the Earth?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:  We have seasons because Earth's axis – the imaginary line that goes through the Earth and around which the Earth spins — is tilted. It's tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to our plane of orbit (the ecliptic) around the Sun. As we orbit our Sun, our axis always points to the same fixed location in space. Our northern axis points almost directly toward Polaris, the North Star.

Why does it rain more in West Ferris than in East Ferris? Explain your answer.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

This idea helps students explain why more rain forms over West Ferris than East Ferris. ... Therefore, when students explain that water vapor condenses higher in the atmosphere, they are actually explaining that water vapor condenses high in the troposphere, which is relatively low in the atmosphere.

Two workers are sliding 350 kgkg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 390 NN while the
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.18

Explanation:

First, we write the equations of motion for each axis. Since the crate is sliding with constant speed, its acceleration is zero. Then, we have:

x: T+F-f_k=0\\\\y:N-mg=0

Where T is the tension in the rope, F is the force exerted by the first worker, f_k is the frictional force, N is the normal force and mg is the weight of the crate.

Since f_k=\mu_k N and N=mg, we can rewrite the first equation as:

T+F-\mu_k mg=0

Now, we solve for \mu_k and calculate it:

\mu_k=\frac{T+F}{mg}\\ \\\mu_k =\frac{220N+390N}{(350kg)(9.8m/s^{2})} =0.18

This means that the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor is 0.18.

which criteria are responsible for deciding whether a heterogeneous mixture is a colloid or a suspension
ad-work [718]
I think you forgot to give the options along with the question. I am answering the question based on my knowledge and research. The criteria responsible for deciding whether a heterogeneous mixture is a colloid or a suspension is whether the <span>particles remain suspended for an extended period of time. I hope it helps you.</span>

Mr. Beall paddles his canoe at 8.0 m/s North in a river that flows at 6.0 m/s to the South. What is the magnitude and direction
kifflom [539]

Answer:

2 /s north

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity due North is 8 m/s and due south is 6 m/s

We need to find the magnitude and the direction of the resulting velocity.

Let North is positive and South is negative. When two velocities are in opposite direction, they adds up. So,

v=8+(-6)\\\\v=2\ m/s

It is positive. So, it is in North direction.
