What is a wavelength of sound wave moving at 340m/s with frequency of 256hz

zimovet [89]

V = 340 m/s
f = 256 Hz
lambda (wavelength)

v = f*lambda
340 = 256 * lambda
340/256 = lambda
lambda = 1.328 m

In a race, you run 3000 meters east in 21 minutes. What is your velocity in km/min?

STALIN [3.7K]

velocity = distance / time v= d/t firstly you change 3000 m into km distance D = 3000/1000 = 3 km secondly time t = 21 min using velocity formula v = d/t = 3 km/21min =0.142km/min

The drawing shows three particles far away from any other objects and located on a straight line. The masses of these particles

belka [17]

Answer:

$F_a=5.67\times 10^{-5}\ N$

<u /> $F_b=3.49\times 10^{-5}\ N$

$F_c=9.16\times 10^{-5}\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of particle A, $m_a=363\ kg$

mass of particle B, $m_b=517\ kg$

mass of particle C, $m_c=154\ kg$

All the three particles lie on a straight line.

Distance between particle A and B, $x_{ab}=0.5\ m$

Distance between particle B and C, $x_{bc}=0.25\ m$

Since the gravitational force is attractive in nature it will add up when enacted from the same direction.

<u>Force on particle A due to particles B & C:</u>

$F_a=G. \frac{m_a.m_b}{x_{ab}^2} +G. \frac{m_a.m_c}{(x_{ab}+x_{bc})^2}$

$F_a=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{363\times 517}{0.5^2}+\frac{363\times 154}{(0.5+0.25)^2})$

$F_a=5.67\times 10^{-5}\ N$

<u>Force on particle C due to particles B & A:</u>

<u /> $F_c=G.\frac{m_c.m_b}{x_{bc}^2} +G.\frac{m_c.m_a}{(x_{ab}+x_{bc})^2}$ <u />

$F_c=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{154\times 517}{0.25^2}+\frac{154\times 363}{(0.25+0.5)^2} )$

$F_c=9.16\times 10^{-5}\ N$

<u>Force on particle B due to particles C & A:</u>

<u /> $F_b=G.\frac{m_b.m_c}{x_{bc}^2} -G.\frac{m_b.m_a}{x_{ab}^2}$ <u />

<u /> $F_b=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (\frac{517\times 154}{0.25^2}-\frac{517\times 363}{0.5^2} )$ <u />

<u /> $F_b=3.49\times 10^{-5}\ N$ <u />

If the swimmer starts at rest, slides without friction, and descends through a vertical height of 2.41 m

AveGali [126]

Answer:

6.88 m/s

Explanation:

The Conservation of Energy states that:

Initial Kinetic Energy + Initial Potential Energy = Final Kinetic Energy + Final Potential Energy

So we can write

$mgh_{i}+\frac{1}{2}mv_{i} ^{2}=mgh_{f}+\frac{1}{2}mv_{f} ^{2}$

We can cancel the common factor of $m$ which leaves us with

$gh_{i}+\frac{1}{2}v_{i} ^{2}=gh_{f}+\frac{1}{2}v_{f} ^{2}$

Lets solve for $v_f$

$gh_{i}+\frac{v_{i} ^{2}}{2}=gh_{f}+\frac{v_{f} ^{2}}{2}$

Subtract $gh_f$ from both sides of the equation.

$gh_{i}+\frac{v_{i} ^{2}}{2}-gh_{f}=\frac{v_{f} ^{2}}{2}$

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

$2(gh_{i}+\frac{v_{i} ^{2}}{2}-gh_{f})={v_{f} ^{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Apply the distributive property.

$2(gh_{i})+2\frac{v_{i} ^{2}}{2}+2(-gh_{f})={v_{f} ^{2}$

Cancel the common factor of 2.

$2gh_{i}+v_{i} ^{2}-2gh_{f}={v_{f} ^{2}$

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the right side.

${v_{f}=\sqrt{2gh_{i}+v_{i} ^{2}-2gh_{f}}$

We are given $g,v_{i},h_{i},h_{f}$ .

We can now solve for the final velocity.

${v_{f}=\sqrt{(2*9.81*2.41)+(0^{2})-(2*9.81*0)$

Anything multiplied by 0 is 0.

${v_{f}=\sqrt{2*9.81*2.41$

${v_{f}=\sqrt{47.2842$

$v_f=6.88$
