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 circular window of 30 cm diameter in a submarine can withstand a maximum force of 5.20 × 105 N. The maximum depth in a lake to
Svetach [21]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         F = 5.20 \times 10^{5} N

         g = 9.8 m/s

         radius = \frac{diameter}{2}

                    = \frac{30 cm}{2} = 15 cm = 0.15 m   (as 1 m = 100 cm)

Formula to calculate depth is as follows.

        F = \rho \times g \times h \times A

or,      h = \frac{F}{\rho \times g \times A}        

       h = \frac{5.2 \times 10^{5}}{1000 \times 9.8 \times (3.1416 \times (0.15 m^{2})}

           = 751 m

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum depth in a lake to which the submarine can go without damaging the window is closest 750 m.

A car starting from rest has a constant acceleration of 4 meters per second per second. How fast will it be going in 5 seconds?
irinina [24]

Answer:

18 m

Explanation:

Given : vo = 0 m/s ; t = 3 s; a = 4 m/s^2 ; d = ? m ; average velocity = ? m/s ; fonal velocity = ? m/s

solving for the final velocity, v

v = a * t

v = 4 m/s^2 * 3 s

v = 12 m / s

Solving for the average velocity. avg v

avg v = (vo + v) / 2

avg v = (0 m / s + 12 m/s) / 2

avg v = 6 m / s

Solving for the distance traveled after 3 s

d = avg v * t

d = 6 m / s * 3 s

d = 18 meters

In the first 3s the car travels 18 meters.

Explain different types of thermometer and their thermometry substance​
Rudiy27

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

1) Liquid in glass thermometer: This type of thermometer is used primarily to measure the temperatures from inspection of changes in volume of liquid.

Thermometry substance is mercury or alcohol

2) Gas thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature as a result of changes in gas pressure or volume.

Thermometry substance is Gas.

3) Resistance thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature due to changes in electric resistance.

Thermometry substance is Resistance wire.

4) Thermocouple thermometer: This type is used to measure the temperature due to changes in electrical potential difference occurring between two metal junctions.

Thermometry substance is two wires that are dissimilar.

5) Bimetallic thermometer: This is a type of thermometer that measures temperature by converting temperature into mechanical displacement by making use of Bimetallic strip.

Thermometry substance is two metals that are dissimilar.
