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.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

q = \dfrac{14}{100}

Explanation:

given,

86 out of every 100 TV households have at least one remote control

Probability of any material is calculated by.

Probability = \dfrac{favourable\ outcome}{Total\ outcome}

P(at\ least\ one\ remote\ control)=\dfrac{86}{100}

P(at\ least\ one\ remote\ control)=0.86

now, Calculating probability that at least one remote control

   q = 1 - 0.86

   q = 0.14

P(doesnot\ have\ at\ least\ one\ remote\ control)=\dfrac{14}{100}

q = \dfrac{14}{100}

What happens when you want to move the boat forward? You pull the oars toward yourself.Explain why you do this.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

You pull on the oars. By the third law, the oars push back on your hands, but that’s irrelevant to the motion of the boat. The other end of each oar (the blade) pushes against the water. By the third law, the water pushes back on the oars, pushing the boat forward.

A pipe of length 10.0 m increases in length by 1.5 cm when its temperature is increased by 90°F. What is its coefficient of line
azamat

The coefficient of linear expansion, given that the length of the pipe increased by 1.5 cm is 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F

<h3>How to determine the coefficient of linear expansion</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained

  • Original diameter (L₁) = 10 m
  • Change in length (∆L) = 1.5 cm = 1.5 / 100 = 0.015 m
  • Change in temperature (∆T) = 90 °F
  • Coefficient of linear expansion (α) =?

The coefficient of linear expansion can be obtained as illustrated below:

α = ∆L / L₁∆T

α = 0.015 / (10 × 90)

α = 0.015 / 900

α = 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F

Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of linear expansion is 1.67×10¯⁵ /°F
