In this experiment, three different tuning forks were used. If we assume that a percent error of 5% is acceptable in determining

the speed of sound, what can we conclude about the speed of sound depend on the frequency of the tuning fork?

In the experiment, you had three tuning forks of frequency:
f₁ = 512 Hz, f₂ = 480 Hz and f₃ = 426 Hz.

Through the experiment you were able to calculate the speed of sound, finding:
v₁ = 340 m/s, v₂ = 342 m/s and v₃ = 341 m/s.

The difference in these measurements is within the 5% error, therefore you can infer that the speed of sound is independent of the frequency of the tuning forks.

A ball of mass 2kg falls from a height of 200m. Calculate it's kinetic energy after falling a distance of 50m . (g=10m/s²) . Neg
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

U = 1000 J

Explanation:

By the conservation of energy, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when the ball falls from a height.

 U = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh

U = Energy (in Joules)

m = mass (in kg)

v = velocity in (m/s)

g = acceleration due to gravity (in m/s^2)

h = height (in m)

Let's use mgh as we have the values given.

U = 2(10)(50)

U = 1000 J

Nuclear winter story. A crazy president is trying to solve the global warming problem and has successfully built a powerful H-bo
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

A nuclear winter is a climatic phenomenon that would follow the detonation of several atomic bombs in the event that a nuclear war broke out. These bombs would cause firestorms that would raise smoke, dust and particles into the atmosphere that would end up in the stratosphere and eventually spread throughout the globe.

Explanation:

That idea is far fetched, because even though those same particles would absorb sunlight, it would raise the temperature in the stratosphere and cause a decrease in temperature in the Earth's layer. Unable to seep the sun's rays, many plant species would die and this would affect the entire food chain.

In addition, that temperature rise in the stratosphere would destroy part of the ozone layer, causing greater exposure to ultraviolet rays. This would end up affecting health and further damaging plant species.

If a rock is sitting on a table, the rock exerts a downward force on the table.
daser333 [38]
This is true. There is a downward force on the table that stabilizes the rock to stay there.
