Answer:
D. all sounds are caused by vibrations
Explanation:
a) since force = mass * acceleration
f= 900 * 0 (because constant speed = 0 acceleration)
similarly b) f = 0
Answer:
1070 Hz
Explanation:
First, I should point out there might be a typo in the question or the question has inconsistent values. If the tube is 40 cm long, standing waves cannot be produced at 42.5 cm and 58.5 cm lengths. I assume the length is more than the value in the question then. Under this assumption, we proceed as below:
The insert in the tube creates a closed pipe with one end open and the other closed. For a closed pipe, the difference between successive resonances is a half wavelength
.
Hence, we have

.
The speed of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency.



D. The environment
Is the right answer
Answer:
g(h) = g ( 1 - 2(h/R) )
<em>*At first order on h/R*</em>
Explanation:
Hi!
We can derive this expression for distances h small compared to the earth's radius R.
In order to do this, we must expand the newton's law of universal gravitation around r=R
Remember that this law is:

In the present case m1 will be the mass of the earth.
Additionally, if we remember Newton's second law for the mass m2 (with m2 constant):

Therefore, we can see that

With a the acceleration due to the earth's mass.
Now, the taylor series is going to be (at first order in h/R):

a(R) is actually the constant acceleration at sea level
and

Therefore:

Consider that the error in this expresion is quadratic in (h/R), and to consider quadratic correctiosn you must expand the taylor series to the next power:
