Answer:

The length is $l = 8.6 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequencies of the two successive harmonics are $f_1 = 220 \ Hz$ , $f_2 = 240 \ Hz$

The speed of sound in the air is $v_s = 343 \ m/s$

Generally the frequency of a given harmonic is mathematically represented as

$f_n = \frac{n v }{2l}$

Here n defines the position of the harmonics

Now since the position of both harmonic is not know but we know that they successive then we can represented them mathematically as

$220 = \frac{n v}{2l}$

and

$240 = \frac{(n+1) v}{2l}$

So

$\frac{(n + 1 ) v}{2l} - \frac{n v}{2l} = 240-220$

=> $\frac{v}{2l} = 20$

=> $l = 8.6 \ m$

Planets A and B have the same size, mass, and direction of travel, but planet A is traveling through space at half the speed of

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

B. You would weigh the same on both planets because their masses and the distance to their centers of gravity are the same.

Explanation:

Given that Planets A and B have the same size, mass.

Let the masses of the planets A and B are $m_A$ and $m_B$ respectively.

As masses are equal, so $m_A=m_B\cdots(i)$ .

Similarly, let the radii of the planets A and B are $r_A$ and $r_B$ respectively.

As radii are equal, so $r_A=r_B\cdots(ii)$ .

Let my mass is m.

As the weight of any object on the planet is equal to the gravitational force exerted by the planet on the object.

So, my weight on planet A, $w_A= \frac {Gm_Am}{r_A^2}$

my weight of planet B, $w_B=\frac {Gm_Bm}{r_B^2}$

By using equations (i) and (ii),

$w_B=\frac {Gm_Am}{r_A^2}=w_A$ .

So, the weight on both planets is the same because their masses and the distance to their centers of gravity are the same.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it accelerates from 0 to 0.680 m/s in a distance of 0.428 m. If the combined mass of th

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Net force, F = 44.66 N

Explanation:

It is given by,

Initial velocity of the person, u = 0

Final velocity of the person, v = 0.68 m/s

Distance, s = 0.428 m

Combined mass of the person and the kayak, m = 82.7 kg

We need to find the net force acting on the kayak i.e.

F = ma...........(1)

Firstly, we will calculate the value of "a" from third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{(0.68\ m/s)^2-0}{2\times 0.428\ m}$

$a=0.54\ m/s^2$

Put the value of a in equation (1) as :

$F=82.7\ kg\times 0.54\ m/s^2$

F = 44.66 N

So, the net force acting on the kayak is 44.66 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

(II) How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 46.0-kg crate 10.3 m across a rough floor without acceleration, if

Gwar [14]

Answer:

2324 J

Explanation:

The formula for work is:

$W=F*d$

where $F$ is the force applied, and $d$ is the distance moved, in this case $d=10.3m$

and we need to find $F.$

Since the crate is not moving up or down, we conclude that the <u>normal force must be equal to the weight </u>of the object:

$N=w$

where $N$ is the normal force and $w$ is the weight, which is: $w=mg$ , where g is the gravitational acceleration $g=9,81m/s^2$ and $m$ is the mass $m=46kg$ .

---------

Thus the normal force is:

$N=mg$

Now, the force due to the friction is defined as:

$f=\mu N=\mu mg$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction, $\mu =0.5$

So, for the crate to move, the force applied must be equal to the frictional force:

$F=f\\F=\mu mg$

And now that we know the force we can calculate the work:

$W=F*d\\W=\mu mg*d$

substituting known values:

$W=(0.5)(46kg)(9.81m/s^2)(10.3)\\W=2324J$
