Answer:

1500000 Pa

Explanation:

The formula for pressure is force per unit area.

P=F/A where  F is force and A is area

Given that ;

F= mass * acceleration due to gravity

F= 60 * 9.81 = 588.6 = 589 N

A= area = 4cm² = 0.0004 m²

P= F/A = 589 / 0.0004

P= 1471500

P=1500000 Pa

All but two gaps within a set of Venetian blinds have been blocked off to create a double-slit system. These gaps are separated
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Explanation:

separation between two gaps, d = 5 cm

angle between central and second order maxima, θ = 0.52°

use

d Sinθ = n λ

n = 2

0.05 x Sin 0.52° = 2 x λ

λ = 2.27 x 10^-4 m

λ = 226.9 micro metre

A sound wave is passing by a student 250 times every second. What is the frequency of the sound wave?
inysia [295]
My answer i believe is simply 250 Hz, because sounds or vibrations travel in 1 cycle/second, meaning the number of cycles, in your case 250, divided by the time,1 second, will ultimately be 250 Hertz.  For every Cycle/second it will equal 1 Hz, so 250/1 = 250Hz
