A sound wave travels with a velocity of 1.5 m/s and has a frequency of 500 Hz. What is its wavelength?

1 answer:

8 0

Velocity, wavelength, and frequency.

Wave velocity (v) is how fast a wave propagates in a given medium. Its unit is meter per second. Check the speed calculator for more information about speed and velocity.

Wavelength (λ) is the distance over which the shape of a wave repeats. It depends on the medium in which a wave travels. It is measured in meters.

Frequency (f) of a wave refers to how many times (per a given time duration) the particles of a medium vibrate when the wave passes through it. The unit of frequency is Hertz or 1/second.

true or false, based on the color of the particles, a mixture can be classified as a solution, a suspension, or a colloid

False, you pass a light through a mixture If the light bounces off the particles, you will see the light shine through and you have a colloid mixture

Consider a situation of simple harmonic motion in which the distance between the endpoints is 2.39 m and exactly 8 cycles are co

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

1.195 m

2.8375 s

2.21433 rad/s

Explanation:

d = Distance = 2.39 m

N = Number of cycles = 8

t = Time to complete 8 cycles = 22.7 s

Radius would be equal to the distance divided by 2

$r=\frac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{2.39}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=1.195\ m$

The radius is 1.195 m

Time period would be given by

$T=\frac{t}{N}\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{22.7}{8}\\\Rightarrow T=2.8375\ s$

Time period of the motion is 2.8375 s

Angular speed is given by

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{2\pi}{2.8375}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2.21433\ rad/s$

The angular speed of the motion is 2.21433 rad/s

The wave length of violet light rounded to the nearest nanometer is a __ nm

nataly862011 [7]

Wavelength= speed / frequency

so.....3× 10^8 / 7.26×10^14
= .413× 10^(-6)

in scientific notation= 4.13×10^(-7)

in nanometer = 413 nm

Calculate the potential energy stored in a metal ball of a mass of 80 kg kept at a height of 15m from the earth surface.What wil

True [87]

Answer:

39200 joules

the potential energy will be zero

Explanation:

we know that potential energy is found by multiplying mass, acceleration due to gravity and height from the Earth's surface

so it will be

potential energy= mgh

80x9.8x15

= 39200 joules

the potential energy of the mental ball will be zero when kept on the Earth's surface because the height from the Earth's surface will be zero and zero multiplied to any number is zero only

I have a doubt with the second one, this is what I think it is. Consult your teacher if you think my answer for the second one is wrong

How is the combined gas law used to calculate changes in pressure, temperatures, and/or volume for a fixed amount of gas?

nalin [4]

Answer:

Let's start by considering the ideal gas law:

$pV=nRT$

where

p is the gas pressure

V is its volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

This equation can also be rewritten as

$\frac{pV}{T}=nR$

Now, if we consider a fixed amount of gas, this means that the number of moles (n) is constant. So we can rewrite the equation as

$\frac{pV}{T}=const.$

And therefore, if we consider a gas undergoing a certain transformation from 1 to 2, we can write

$\frac{p_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2V_2}{T_2}$

where 1 indicates the conditions of the gas at the beginning and 2 the conditions of the gas after the process. So, the change in pressure/temperature/volume of the gas can be found by using this equation.
