Answer:

0.1835m/s

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the speed of wave is expressed as;

v = fλ

f is the frequency - The number of oscillations completed in one seconds

If 22 waves pass the boat every 60 seconds,

number of wave that passes in 1 seconds = 22/60 = 0.367 waves

Therefore the frequency f of the wave is 0.367Hertz

λ (wavelength) is the distance between successive crest and trough of a wave

λ = 0.5m

Substitute the given values into the formula

v = fλ

v = 0.367 * 0.5

v = 0.1835

Hence the speed of the waves is 0.1835m/s

The bright yellow light emitted by a sodium vapor lamp consists of two emission lines at 589.0 and 589.6 nm. What are the freque
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

wavelength of emissions are

\lambda _1=589 nm

\lambda _2=589.6 nm

Energy is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

where h=Planck's constant

x=velocity of Light

\lambda=wavelength of emission

E_1=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{589\times 10^{-9}}

E_1=3.374\times 10^{-19} J

E_1 in kJ/mol

E_1=203.2 kJ/mol

frequency corresponding to this emission

\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu _1=\frac{3\times 10^8}{589\times 10^{-9}}

\nu _1=5.09\times 10^{14} Hz

Energy corresponding to \lambda _2

E_2=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{589.6\times 10^{-9}}

E_2=3.371\times 10^{-19} J

E_2=203.02 kJ/mol

frequency corresponding to this emission

\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu _1=\frac{3\times 10^8}{589.6\times 10^{-9}}

\nu _1=5.088\times 10^{14} Hz

Queremos un cilindro de simple efecto que utilice en su funcionamiento un volumen de aire a presión atmosférica de 13,122 litros
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1) El diámetro es de aproximadamente 913,987 cm.

2) La fuerza del cilindro es 5576850 kgf

Explanation:

1) Los parámetros dados son;

El volumen del aire = 13,122 litros = 13122000 cm³

La presión de trabajo = 8.5 kgf / cm²

La longitud del cilindro = 20 cm.

Por lo tanto, tenemos;

El área de la base del cilindro = π · r² = 13122000 cm³ / (20 cm) = 656100 cm²

r = √ (656100 / π) ≈ 456,994 cm

El diámetro = 2 × r ≈ 2 × 456.994 ≈ 913.987 cm

El diámetro ≈ 913,987 cm

2) La fuerza del cilindro = El área de la base del cilindro × La presión de trabajo

∴ La fuerza del cilindro = 656100 cm² × 8.5 kgf / cm² = 5576850 kgf

La fuerza del cilindro = 5576850 kgf

Balboa Park in San Diego has an outdoor organ. When the air temperature increases, the fundamental frequency of one of the organ
musickatia [10]

The fundamental frequency of one of the organ pipes will go up or increase.

When pressured air is forced into an organ pipe, it echoes at a particular pitch, generating the sound of the pipe organ. Each pipe has been adjusted to a particular pitch on the musical scale.

A musical instrument called an outdoor pipe organ is used to perform music. It produces some calming tones and has a really serene sound. The organ pipe produces the sound of the outdoor organ. The wavelength of the sound is also dependent on the length of the pipe. The fundamental frequency of one of the organ pipes will grow as the speed of the sound increases as the ambient air temperature rises.

The correct option is (c).
