Electromagnetic waves in air are 874,000 times as fast as sound waves.

I guess that's closer to <em>one million</em> than it is to one thousand.

A certain tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 215 Hz while each tip of its two prongs has an amplitude of 0.832 mm. (a) What

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of vibration, f = 215 Hz

Amplitude, A = 0.832 mm

(a) Let T is the period of this motion. It is given by the following relation as :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$T=\dfrac{1}{215}$

$T=4.65\times 10^{-3}\ s$

(b) Speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

It can be given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{215\ Hz}$

$\lambda=1.59\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two light bulbs are wired in series and one bulb burns out (opens.) Technician A says that the other bulb will still work. Techn

Radda [10]

Answer:

Neither technician

Explanation:

Neither technician is correct.

two bulbs are connected in series one bulb burn out

If one bulb in the series burns out then the circuit will break.

In a series circuit same current passes each resistor.

so, both the technician is incorrect bulb B will not work and current will not increase in the other bulb.

A +0.05 C charge is placed in a uniform electric field pointing downward with a strength of 100 Newtons over Coulombs.. Determin

shtirl [24]

The magnitude of the electric force on the charge is 5 N.

<h3>Magnitude of force on the charge</h3>

The magnitude of force on the charge is calculated as follows;

F = Eq

where;

E is electric field
q is magnitude of the charge

F = 100 N/C x 0.05 C

F = 5 N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force on the charge is 5 N.

Two identical copper blocks are connected by a weightless, unstretchable cord through a frictionless pulley at the top of a thin

likoan [24]

Answer:

13.6 N

Explanation:

Since one side of the wedge is vertical and the wedge makes and angle of 33 with the horizontal, the angle between the weight of the copper block on the incline and the incline is thus 90 - 33 = 57.

Let M be the mass of the block that hangs, m be the mass of the block on the incline and T be the tension in the weightless unstretchable cord.

We assume the motion is downwards in the direction of the hanging block, M.

We now write equations of motion for each block.

Mg - T = Ma (1) and T - mgcos57 - F = ma where F is the frictional force on the block on the incline and a is their acceleration.

Now, since both blocks do not move, a = 0.

So, Mg - T = M(0) = 0 and T - mgcos57 - F = m(0) = 0

Mg - T = 0 (3) and T - mgcos57 - F = 0 (4)

From (3), T = Mg

Substituting T into (4), we have

T - mgcos57 - F = 0

Mg - mgcos57 - F = 0

So, Mg - mgcos57 = F

F = Mg - mgcos57

F = (M - mcos57)g

Since g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and M = 2.94 kg and m = 2.85 kg.

We find F, thus

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kgcos57)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kg × 0.5446)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 1.552 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = (1.388 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = 13.6024 kgm/s²

F ≅ 13.6 N
