Answer: The acceleration results if a net force of 4F acts on a mass of 6m is 2/3a.

Explanation:

Force exerted on an object can be defined as a pull or a push on an object which leads to it's displacement. Force is taken to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. The formula which can be used to determine force exerted on an object in physics is:

F= mass( kg) × acceleration( m/ s²)

Acceleration is defined as the rate at which the velocity of an object changes. From the formula of force given above it can be determined by making it the subject of formula. Therefore acceleration= Force/ mass.

From the question,

Force= 4F

Mass= 6m

Therefore acceleration= F/m

= 4/6

Acceleration= 2/3a

a female vocalist with a soprano voice can sing as high as 1000 hz. given that the speed of sound is 345 m/s what is the wavelen

Neporo4naja [7]

0.345 m.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The wavelength is the distance that the wave travels in each cycle. The wave travels 345 meters in each second. Let the wavelength of this wave be $\lambda$ . That's the distance the wave travels in one cycle.

The frequency of the sound wave is 1 000 Hz, meaning that there are 1 000 cycles in each second. The wave travels a distance of 1 000 wavelengths in one second. That would be a distance of $1,000\;\lambda$ .
