A student wants to determine the speed of sound at an elevation of one mile. To do this the student performs an experiment to de

termine the resonance frequencies of a tube that is closed at one end. The student takes measurements every day for a week and gets different results on different days. Which of the following experiments would help the student determine the reason for the different results?
a. Repeating the experiment on several 10 degree C days and several 20 degree C days
b. Repeating the experiment using a wider range of frequencies of sound
c. Repeating the original experiment for an additional week
d. Repeating the experiment using a longer tube

Answer:

The correct answer is a

Explanation:

The speed of a sound wave depends on the square root of the modulus of compressibility and the density of the medium.

For the same medium, the speed of sound depends on the temperature of the fora

           v = v_o \ \sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} }

Therefore, the different results that are obtained are due to changes in temperature. The correct answer is a

since this way it has the values ​​of the speed of sound for each temperature, for which it can compare with the results obtained from the trip.

If two identical cars are traveling at different velocities, which car has the greatest momentum ​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The one with highest velocity

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the car

v is the velocity of the car

In this problem, we have two identical cars: identical means they have same mass, so

m_1 = m_2 = m

The momentum of car 1 is

p_1 = mv_1

while the momentum of car 2 is

p_2 = mv_2

By comparing the two expressions, we see that the car with greatest momentum is the one with highest velocity, since the mass is the same.

How does light move?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Light travels as a wave. But unlike sound waves or water waves, it does not need any matter or material to carry its energy along. This means that light can travel through a vacuum—a completely airless space. It speeds through the vacuum of space at 186,400 miles (300,000 km) per second.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :))

You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 3 kg , up an incline of constant slope angle
denis23 [38]

Answer:

v = 9.04 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the relation that the work of the non-conservative force (friction) is equal to the variation of the mechanical energy of the system.

          W = Em_f - Em₀         (1)

Starting point. Lower slope

        Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

highest point. Where is the skier at a height h

        Em_f = U = m g h

The work of rubbing

        W = -fr x

the negative sign is because the friction force opposes the movement.

Let's set a reference system where the x axis is parallel to the slope and the y axis is perpendicular

let's use trigonometry to break down the weight

        cos θ = W_y / W

        sin θ = Wₓ / W

        W_y = W cos θ

        Wₓ = W sin θ

Y axis

        N - Wₓ = 0

        N = mg sin  θ

X axis

         fr = m a

the friction force has the expression

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ mg sin θ

we look for the job

         W = - μ mg sin θ  x

where x is the distance along the slope

       

we substitute in 1

         -μ mg sin θ x = mg h - ½ m v²

let's use trigonometry to find the distance x

        tan 30 = h / x

        x = h / tan 30

we substitute

          -   \mu \ mg \ sin \theta \  \frac{h}{tan 30} \ x = m gh - ½ m v²

we use  

          tan 30 = sin30 / cos30

         

          v² = 2g h + 2 μ g h cos 30

          v = \sqrt{ 2gh \ (1+ cos 30}

let's calculate

          v = \sqrt{ 2 \ 9.8 \ 4 \ (1 + 0.05 \ cos \ 30)}

          v = 9.04 m / s

Assume air resistance is negligible unless otherwise stated. Calculate the displacement in m and velocity in m/s at the followin
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 1) t=0.5 s; S=6.225 m and v=14.9 m/s

2) t=1 s; S=14.9 m and v=19.8 m/s

3) t=1.5 s; S=26.05 m and v=24.7 m/s

Explanation:

The displacement S is given by

S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}

and  final velocity v is given by

v=u+at

where u is the initial velocity

a is acceleration

t is time taken

Case 1: when time is 0.5 s

The displacement is

S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}\\S=10\times  0.5 +\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 0.5^{2}\\\\S=6.225 m

the velocity is

v=u+at\\v=10+9.8\times 0.5\\v=14.9 m/s

Case 2: when t=1 sec

The displacement is

S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}\\S=10\times  1 +\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1^{2}\\\\S=14.9 m

the velocity is

v=u+at\\v=10+9.8\times 1\\v=19.8 m/s

Case 3: t=1.5 s

The displacement is

S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}\\S=10\times  1.5 +\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.5^{2}\\\\S=26.05 m

the velocity is

v=u+at\\v=10+9.8\times 1.5\\v=24.7 m/s
