A 64.0 cm long cord is vibrating in such a manner that it forms a standing wave with two antinodes. (The cord is fixed at both e

nds.) Which harmonic does this wave represent

Answer:

the wave represents the second harmonic.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the cord, L = 64 cm

The first harmonic of a cord fixed at both ends is given as;

$f_o = \frac{V}{2L}$

The wavelength of a standing wave with two antinodes is calculated as follows;

L = N---> A -----> N + N ----> A -----> N

Where;

N is node

A is antinode

L = N---> A -----> N + N ----> A -----> N = λ/2 + λ/2

L = λ

The harmonic is calculated as;

$f = \frac{V}{\lambda} \\\\f = \frac{V}{L} = 2(\frac{V}{2L} ) = 2(f_o) = 2^{nd} \ harmonic$

Therefore, the wave represents the second harmonic.

L = λ

The sum of the resistance = 2 ohms x 80 lights = 160 ohms.

Current = Total voltage / total resistance:

Current = 120V / 160 ohms

Current = 0.75 Amps

The ball is moving at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s for 2.3 seconds how far does it go?

yarga [219]

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Distance = (0.5 m/s) x (2.3 s)

Distance = (0.5 x 2.3) m

Distance = 1.15 meters

A fly flaps its wings back and forth 25 times in one second. The period of wing flapping is _____.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

<h2>The period is 0.04 sec</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is based on oscillatory motion.

What is the period of oscillation?

This can be defined as the time taken to complete one full revolution or oscillation.

given that the fly flaps its wings back and forth 25 times in one second. then the frequency is 25 Hz

we know that period T= 1/F

T= 1/25

T=0.04 sec

A 300 g glass thermometer initially at 23 ◦C is put into 236 cm3 of hot water at 87 ◦C. Find the final temperature of the thermo

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

$74^{\circ} C$

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of glass, $m=300 g$

$T_1=23^{\circ}$

Volume, $V=236cm^3$

Mass of water= $density\times volume=1\times 236=236 g$

Density of water= $1g/cm^3$

Temperature of hot water, $T=87^{\circ}$

Specific heat of glass, $C_g=0.2cal/g^{\circ}C$

Specific heat of water, $C_w=1 cal/g^{\circ}C$

$Q_{glass}=m_gC_g(T_f-T_1)=300\times 0.2(T_f-23)$

$Q_{water}=m_wC_w(T_f-T)=236\times 1(T_f-87)$

$Q_{glass}+Q_{water}=0$

$300\times 0.2(T_f-23)+236\times 1(T_f-87)$

$60T_f-1380+236T_f-20532=0$

$296T_f=20532+1380=21912$

$T_f=\frac{21912}{296}=74^{\circ} C$

An electrician must decide between 3 heaters. The wire that she is using is rated 15A maximum, anything beyond that is a fire ha

lutik1710 [3]

Use the formula: $P=IV$ , where P is power (watts), I is current (amperes) and V is potential difference (volts).

For the first heater:
$900W = I_{1}*120V$
$I_{1} = 7.5A$

For the second heater:
$1800W = I_{2}*120V$
$I_{2} = 15A$

For the third heater:
$3000W = I_{3}*240V$
$I_{3} = 12.5A$
