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.

Two capillary tubes, made of the same substance, are lowered into a water bath. The radius of the larger tube is twice that of t
Alinara [238K]

Answer: 4.4 cm.

Explanation:

Rise of water in the smaller tube= h1=8.8 centimeter(cm)

Radius of the smaller tube= r

Rise of water in the larger tube= h2 (in centimeter).

The radius of the larger tube is twice that of the smaller tube means that;

The radius in the larger tube is 2r ( 2 multiply by the radius r, of the smaller tube)

Using Jurin's law;

height or rise of liquid is inversely proportional to its radius, r.

That is; hr= constant.

Therefore, we have;

h1 × r1 = h2 × r2.

Rise in smaller tube × radius of the smaller tube = height of the larger tube × radius of the larger tube.

8.8 cm × r = h2 × 2r

= (8.8cm)r = (h2) 2r

Divide both sides by 2r, we then have;

8.8cm r/ 2r = h2

h2= 4.4cm

Therefore, the height or rise in large tube is half of that of the smaller tube.

Suppose you throw a ball vertically upward with a speed of 49 m/s. Neglecting air friction, what would be the height of the ball
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

78.4 m

Explanation:

Using newton's equation of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt²......................... Equation 1

Where S = Height, t = time, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Taking upward to be negative, and down ward positive

Given: u = 49 m/s, t = 2.0 s, g = -9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

S = 49(2) - 1/2(9.8)(2)²

S = 98 - 19.6

S = 78.4 m

Hence the height of the ball two seconds later = 78.4 m
