Answer:

887.1Hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of sound wave = 330m/s

Wavelength = 0.372m

Unknown:

Frequency = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

Speed = Frequency x wavelength

330 = Frequency x 0.372

Frequency = 887.1Hz

If you increase the elasticity of a material, what happens to the speed of a mechanical wave going through it?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

At the molecular level, materials are held together by bonds, which act like springs for small displacements from the equilibrium spacing between neighboring atoms. Push the atoms close, the bond pushes back to keep them apart. Pull them apart, the bond pulls the atoms closer. For those small displacements, it acts like a spring

The speed of the wave will be related to the stiffness of of those springs - you compress the material - how quickly do all of those little springs rebound and push their neighboring atoms away, sending that wave of compression through the material.

In Example 2.7, we investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver, the jet comes in for a landing on sol

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) 20 seconds

b) No.

Explanation:

t = Time taken for jet to stop

u = Initial velocity = 100 m/s (given in the question)

v = Final velocity = 0 (because the jet will stop at the end)

s = Displacement of the jet (Distance between the moment the jet touches the ground to the point the point it stops)

a = Acceleration = -5.00 m/s² (slowing down, so it is negative)

a) Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-100}{-5}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s$

The time required for the plane to slow down from the moment it touches the ground is 20 seconds.

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=100\times 20+\frac{1}{2}\times -5\times 20^2\\\Rightarrow s=1000\ m$

The distance it requires for the jet to stop is 1000 m so in a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long the plane would not be able to land. The runway needs to be atleast 1000 m long here the runway on the island is 1000-800 = 200 m short.

A 29.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge while its far end is supported by a cable such that the beam is horizontal.

castortr0y [4]

The vertical component of force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,142.10N.

To find the answer, we need to know more about the tension.

<h3>How to find the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam?</h3>

Let's draw the free body diagram of the system.
To find the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam, we have to balance the total vertical force to zero.

$F_V+T sin\alpha -mg=0\\F_V=mg-Tsin\alpha \\$

To find the answer, we have to find the tension,

$Tlsin\alpha - mg\frac{l}{2}sin\beta =0\\ \\Tlsin\alpha = mg\frac{l}{2}sin\beta\\\\Tsin57=\frac{mg}{2}sin90\\\\T=\frac{mg}{2sin57} =169.43N$

Thus, the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,

$F_V=(29*9.8)-(169.43*sin57)=142.10N$

Thus, we can conclude that, the vertical component of force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,142.10N.

Interest groups representing businesses and investors are often among the most successful lobbying groups in foreign policy. Why

alisha [4.7K]

The members of these groups make up the majority of voters in many districts thus this be considered a problem.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Interest groups play a key role in US politics. Such organizations are made up of wealthy and powerful members who often seek to impose some form of leverage in politicians to promote their goals and agendas. Across the years via many campaigns, they have understood how to speak and manipulate elected leaders and apply leverage to get the kind of legislation that is in their favor. Here the majority of voters in several districts are standing due to group members, as we recognize the interest group belongs to a body in which it uses different methods of lobbying to influence others.
