A pipe of length 6.8 m is closed at one end and sustains a standing wave at its second overtone. determine the distance between
a node and an adjacent antinode.
1 answer:
For a pipe closed at one end, the second overtone is the 3rd natural frequency as shown in the diagram.
For the fundamental frequency,
λ = 4L
where
λ = wavelength
L = the length of the tube
For the second overtone (3rd frequency)
λ = (4/3)L
Because L = 6.8 m, therefore
λ = (4/3)*(6.8 m) = 9.0667 m
The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is λ/2, which is
9.0667/2 = 4.533 m
Answer: 4.5 m

The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is λ/2, which is
9.0667/2 = 4.533 m
Answer: 4.5 m

The shock wave from the meteoroid in the lower atmosphere has a Mach angle of 0.948°.
(a) The meteoroid's speed
Air sound wave speed
Speed of the shock wave in Mach
Hence, 0.948° is the Mach angle of the shock wave from the meteoroid in the lower atmosphere.
<h3>What is the speed of the meteoroid?</h3>A meteoroid's speed can be loosely broken down into three categories: slow, medium, and fast.
- Slow meteors move around the sun at a leisurely pace of about 32 kilometers per second (20 miles per second).
- Medium-speed meteors travel around the sun at approximately 50 kilometers per second (30 miles per second),
- while fast meteors zoom past at over 120 kilometers per second (75 miles per second)!
