Physics
1 answer:
Semmy [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The equation a=F/m or the acceleration is equal to the net force of an object divided by that object's mass, is an equation derived and explained by Sir Issac Newton's second law of motion. Newton's second law of motion states that the force of an object is equal to the mass times the acceleration of that object.

A sound wave traveling at 340 m/s is generated by a 480 Hz tuning fork.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Wavelength = 0.7083 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed of wave = 340 m/s

Frequency = 480 Hz

To find how long is the sound wave, we would determine its wavelength;

Mathematically, the wavelength of a waveform is given by the formula;

Wavelength = velocity/frequency

Wavelength = 340/480

Wavelength = 0.7083 meters

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 7.00×10−10 m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 2.823 x 10¹⁷ m/s²

The acceleration of the electron is 5.175 x 10²⁰ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the electron and proton, r = 7 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

mass of proton, m_p = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

mass of electron, m_e = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The attractive force between the two charges is given by Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2}

where;

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²

F = \frac{k(q_p)(q_e)}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(9*10^9)(1.602*10^{-19})(1.602*10^{-19})}{(7*10^{-10})^2} \\\\F = 4.714 *10^{-10} \ N

Acceleration of proton is given by;

F = ma

F = m_pa_p\\\\a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}\\\\a_p = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a_p = 2.823 *10^{17} \ m/s^2

Acceleration of the electron is given by;

F = m_ea_e\\\\a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}\\\\a_e = \frac{4.714*10^{-10}}{9.11*10^{-31}}\\\\a_e = 5.175 *10^{20} \ m/s^2

The sound produced by the loudspeaker in the drawing has a frequency of 11999 Hz and arrives at the microphone via two different
const2013 [10]

The speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Frequency, f = 11999Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.03m

Velocity, v = ?

Sound speed in the tube is calculated by multiplying the frequency v by the wavelength λ.

As the sound loudness changed from a maximum to a minimum, then we know the sound interference in the case changed from constructive interference (the two sound waves are in phase, i.e. peaks are in a line with peaks and so the troughs), to a destructive interference (peaks coinciding with troughs). The least distance change required to cause such a change is a half wavelength distance, so:

λ/2 = 0.03/2

 λ  = 0.06m

We know,

v = λf

v = 0.06 X 11999Hz

v = 719.94m/s

Therefore, the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

A person throws a ball straight up. He releases the ball at a height of 1.75 m above the ground and with a velocity of 12.0 m/s.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

a) 1.22 s

b) 9.089 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-12}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.22\ s

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 1.22 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=12\times 1.22+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 1.22^2\\\Rightarrow s=7.339\ m

The maximum height the ball will reach above the ground is 1.75+7.339 = 9.089 m
