A parachute on a racing dragster opens and changes the speed of the car from 85 m/sec to 45 m/sec in a period of 4.5 seconds. Wh

at is the acceleration of the dragster?

Acceleration is change is velocity over time. So the change in velocity is 40 and time is 4.5 sec. So the acceleration is 40/4.5=8.89 m/s^2

The speed of sound in air is 345 m/s. A tuning fork vibrates above the open end of a sound resonance tube. If sound waves have w

Delvig [45]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concept of Frequency based on speed and wavelength.

According to the definition the frequency can be expressed as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

Where,

v = Velocity

$\lambda =$ Wavelength

Our value are given by,

v = 345m/s

$\lambda = 63cm$

Replacing

$f = \frac{345}{0.63}$

$f = 547.61Hz$

Therefore the frequency of the tuning fork is 547.61Hz

A crowbar 2727 in. long is pivoted 66 in. from the end. What force must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600600 lb

NikAS [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.

$\sum \tau = F*d$

If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,

$F*(27-6)= 6*600$

$F = \frac{6*600}{21}$

$F= 171.42 lb$

So, Force that must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600lb object to the short end is 171.42lb

Can someone please explain the quantum theory in simple terms

BaLLatris [955]

Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.

Two guitarists attempt to play the same note of wavelength 6.48 cmcm at the same time, but one of the instruments is slightly ou

k0ka [10]

The answer is λ₂ = 6.48 cm or 6.52 cm.

The out-of-tune guitar may have a wavelength between "6.48 cm" and "6.52 cm."

fb = |f2 − f1|

f₁ = 343/0.064

= 5276Hz

f₂ = 5276.9 Hz ± 17 Hz

f₂ = 5293.9 Hz or 5259.9 Hz

Now, calculating the possible wavelengths:

λ = 343/ 5259.9 or 343/ 5293.9

λ₂ = 6.48 cm or 6.52 cm

<h3>Why is beat frequency important?</h3>

When two waves with almost identical frequencies traveling in the same direction collide at a certain location, beats are produced. The opposing beneficial and harmful disruption causes the sound to alternatively be loud and weak whenever two sound waves with different frequencies reach your ear. This is referred to as beating.

The entire value of the frequency difference between the two waves is the beat frequency.

The following formula yields the beat frequency:

fb = |f2 − f1|

Nresistors, each having resistance equal to 1 2, are arranged in a circuit first in series and then in parallel. What is the rat

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

Let the resistance of each resistor is R.

In series combination,

The effective resistance is Rs.

rs = r + R + R + .... + n times = NR

Let V be the source of potential difference.

Power in series

Ps = v^2 / Rs = V^2 / NR ..... (1)

In parallel combination

the effective resistance is Rp

1 / Rp = 1 / R + 1 / R + .... + N times

1 / Rp = N / R

Rp = R / N

Power is parallel

Rp = v^2 / Rp = N V^2 / R ..... (2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2) we get

Ps / Pp = 1 / N^2
