Answer:

The first harmonic is: 250Hz, second harmonic 500Hz, third harmonic 750Hz.

Explanation:

Use the frequency f, speed v, and wavelentgh L relationship:

v = f\cdot L\implies f = \frac{v}{L}

We are given the speed v=400 m/s. The base wavelength on a string of length 80cm is twice the length of the string (a "half wave" along the full length of the string), so:

f = \frac{400\frac{m}{s}}{2\cdot0.8 m}= 250\frac{1}{s}=250 Hz

The fundamental frequency (first harmonic) is 250 Hz

The second harmonic is produced by one full wave across the string (adding one node in the middle), so L=80cm in this case, therefore the second harmonic frequency is: f2 = 2*250=500Hz

the third harmonic add another node (and a half wave) to the pattern and the wavelength will be 2/3 of 80cm, so f3=3*250Hz = 750Hz

Part a can be solve using the equation of trajectory:

Y = x tana + (g*x^2)/ [2(V0^2)*(cos a)^2]

Where y is the height

X is the length

G is the acceleration due to gravity

Vo Is the initail velocity

a is the angle of trajectory

1.2 = 1.35  tan(0) + (9.81*1.35^2)/ [2(V0^2)*(cos 0)^2]

Solve for V0 = 2.729 m/s

b. can be solve using the formula

v = sqrt(2gy)

= sqrt ( 2*1.2*9.81)

= 4.852 m/s  going down ( 0 degree from the horizontal)

A rifle bullet with a mass of 11.5 g traveling toward the right at 251 m/s strikes a large bag of sand and penetrates it to a de
BabaBlast [244]

To look for the acceleration, it will come from:

vf^2=v0^2+2ad 
where:
vf = final velocity = 0 
v0 = initial velocity =251 m/s 
a = acceleration 
d= distance traveled = 0.237 m 

0=251^2+2a(0.237 ) 
a= -251 ^2 / (2*0.237) =-132 913.502 m/s/s 

we find the force from: 

F = ma = 0.0115kg*(-1.32x10^5m/s/s) = -1518 N 

the negative sign shows that the force is in the direction contradictory the bullet's motion

Answer: the ballon will explode.

Explanation:

The air in the ballon will increase its temperature and, according to the laws of behavior of the gases, it will expand until it explode.

You can assume ideal gas behavior and  use PV = nRT, where you can see that the volume V and P are proportional to the temperature T, so with the increase in temperature the ballon will increase its volume, until the material of the ballon can not expand more, when the pressure will increase and the material will fail.

Which of these experiments tests a chemical property of an object??
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<span>B. shining a bright light on the objects and testing for decomposition </span> <span>      

In explanation, chemical property is a characteristic of a certain substance came from an outcome due to chemical change or reaction. In the situation above, more specifically toxicity is involved in the chemical property/change. Hence, when the object is tested for decomposition. Like for an example of decomposition simply in metals, rusting. Rusting a process of degeneration of metals. Here it works the same. Toxicity is how much damage did a certain entity do to the object. </span>
