If you increase the frequency of a sound wave four times what will happen to its speed
Anika [276]

Answer: The correct answer is "the speed of the wave becomes four times".

Explanation:

The relation between the speed, frequency and the wavelength is as follows:

v=f\lambda

Here, v is the speed of the wave, f is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelength.

The speed of the sound wave is directly proportional to the frequency.

In the given problem, if the speed of the sound wave is increased four times then the speed of the sound becomes four times.

Therefore, the speed of the sound wave becomes four times.

A jet liner must reach a speed of 82 m/s for takeoff. If the
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The acceleration that the jet liner that must have is 2.241 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the jet liner accelerates uniformly. From statement we know the initial (v_{o}) and final speeds (v_{f}), measured in meters per second, of the aircraft and likewise the runway length (d), measured in meters. The following kinematic equation is used to calculate the minimum acceleration needed (a), measured in meters per square second:

a = \frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot d}

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{f} = 82\,\frac{m}{s} and d = 1500\,m, then the acceleration that the jet must have is:

a = \frac{\left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot (1500\,m)}

a = 2.241\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration that the jet liner that must have is 2.241 meters per square second.
