A loudspeaker located in air generates sound waves of frequency 1,000 Hz. Some of these sound waves enter a pool of water, where

prisoha [69]

Answer:

1.4 m

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in water = 1400 m/s

f = Frequency of sound = 1000 Hz

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

When we multiply the frequency and the wavelength of a wave we get the velocity of sound in that medium

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{1400}{1000}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=1.4\ m$

The wavelength of the sound waves in water is 1.4 m

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m$

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2$

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}$

Calculating:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}$

Julio blows air across his hot bowl of soup. The tiny ripples he creates are similar to _____.

Allushta [10]

The tiny ripples on the soup are not only similar to wind-generated
waves ... they ARE wind-generated waves. This is a big part of the
reason why they bear such an uncanny resemblance.

Which equations could be used as is, or rearranged to calculate for frequency of a wave? Check all that apply.

amm1812

-- Equations #2 and #6 are both the same equation,
and are both correct.

-- If you divide each side by 'wavelength', you get Equation #4,
which is also correct.

-- If you divide each side by 'frequency', you get Equation #3,
which is also correct.
With some work, you can rearrange this one and use it to calculate
frequency.

Summary:

-- Equations #2, #3, #4, and #6 are all correct statements,
and can be used to find frequency.

-- Equations #1 and #5 are incorrect statements.
