79 m/s. A stone dropped from the top of the Empire State Building will have a velocity of 79 m/s just before it strikes the ground.

This problem is about free fall, to find the velocity of the stone before it strikes the ground we have to use the equation v_{f}^{2}=v_{0}^{2}+2gh, the initial velocity  of the stone is 0 m/s. Then:

v_{f}^{2}=2gh

v_{f}=\sqrt{ 2gh}

Solving the equation above with g = 9.8 m/s², and h = 318.0 m:

v_{f}=\sqrt{ 2(9.8m/s^{2})(318.0m)}= 78.95 m/s

v_{f}≅ 79 m/s

What is the period of a soundwave whose wavelength is 20.0 m? Use values from the book and show ALL of your work.
Liono4ka [1.6K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Period = 1/17 seconds

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Wavelength is related to period by the expression:

<em>speed = wavelength / period </em>

  • If we are given the speed, then we can easily calculate the period at the wavelength of 20 m.

<em>Given the speed of sound wave as 340 m/s </em>

<em>Period = Wavelength/ speed</em>

<em>            = 20 m/340 m/s</em>

<em>            </em><u><em>= 1/17 seconds</em></u>
