C. A mechanical wave generally travels faster in gases than liquids.
Answer:
Time taken for trip = 12.74 hour (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Distance of trip = 710-mi
Average speed for the trip = 55.7 mi/h
Find:
Time taken for trip = ?
Computation:
⇒ Time = Distance / Speed
⇒ Time taken for trip = Distance of trip / Average speed for the trip
⇒ Time taken for trip = 710-mi / 55.7 mi/h
⇒ Time taken for trip = 12.74 hour (Approx)
Answer:



Explanation:
<u>Simple Pendulum</u>
It's a simple device constructed with a mass (bob) tied to the end of an inextensible rope of length L and let swing back and forth at small angles. The movement is referred to as Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).
(a) The angular frequency of the motion is computed as

We have the length of the pendulum is L=0.81 meters, then we have


(b) The total mechanical energy is computed as the sum of the kinetic energy K and the potential energy U. At its highest point, the kinetic energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is pure potential energy, which is computed as

where h is measured to the reference level (the lowest point). Please check the figure below, to see the desired height is denoted as Y. We know that

And

Solving for Y



The potential energy is


The mechanical energy is, then


(c) The maximum speed is achieved when it passes through the lowest point (the reference for h=0), so the mechanical energy becomes all kinetic energy (K). We know

Equating to the mechanical energy of the system (M)

Solving for v


Answer:
Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm
Explanation:
The distance between the consecutive maxima, in Young's Double Slit Experiment is given bu the following formula:
Δx = λD/d
So, the distance between the eighth order maximum and the fourth order maximum on the screen will be given as:
Δx = 4λD/d
where,
Δx = distance between eighth order maximum and fourth order maximum=?
λ = wavelength = 487 nm = 4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m
d = slit separation = 0.2 mm = 2 x 10⁻⁴ m
D = Distance between slits and screen = 48 cm = 0.48 m
Therefore,
Δx = (4)(4.87 x 10⁻⁷ m)(0.48 m)/(2 x 10⁻⁴ m)
<u>Δx = 4.68 x 10⁻³ m = 4.68 mm</u>
