When you speak after breathing helium, in which the speed of sound is much greater than in air, your voice sounds quite differen

t. The frequencies emitted by your vocal cords do not change since they are determined by the mass and tension of your vocal cords. So what does change when your vocal tract is filled with helium rather than air?

Answer: Increase in velocity

Explanation:

It is true that that frequencies do not change when you breathe in helium instead of air.

The reason voice sounds different lies in the nature of helium that it's density is lower. This leads to it travelling faster to the vocal cords as compared to the regular air. It is not changing the frequency rather by travelling faster to vocal cords it is affecting the quality of sound and result in changing of the resonant pulses or sounds of your vocal tract as it becomes more responding to the sounds with high frequency.

We have v= fλ

Since frequency is not changing and wavelength also remains same this implies the velocity is changing resulting in producing voices that sounds different.

Only question 7. I keep getting it wrong and i’m not sure
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

I think you just have to input the horizontal velocity component.

Explanation:

Assuming no air resistance

The horizontal velocity is constant at

vx = 17.5cos71 = 5.6974... = 5.70 i m/s

The vertical velocity varies with gravity

vy = 17.5sin71 + -9.81(22) = -199.273... = -199 j m/s

v = 5.70i - 199j m/s

arguably one should round to only two significant digits

Chris shoots an arrow up into the air. The height of the arrow is given by the function h(t) = - 16t2 + 64t + 23 where t is the
Ghella [55]

Completing the square gives the answer right away.

-16t^2+64t+23=-16(t^2-4t)+23=-16(t^2-4t+4-4)+23=-16((t-2)^2-4)+23

\implies h(t)=-16(t-2)^2+87

which indicates a maximum height of 87 when t=2.

A 10.00 kg mass is attached to a 250N/m spring and set into vertical oscillation. When the mass is 0.50m above the equilibrium i
Paraphin [41]

assuming the reference line to measure the height for gravitational potential energy lying at the equilibrium position

m = mass attached to the spring = 10.00 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 250 N/m

h = height of the mass above the reference line or equilibrium position = 0.50 m

x = compression of the spring = 0.50 m

v = speed of mass = 2.4 m/s

A = maximum amplitude of the oscillation

v' = speed of mass at the maximum amplitude location = 0 m/s

using conservation of energy between the point where the speed is 2.4 m/s  and the highest point at which displacement is maximum from equilibrium

kinetic energy + spring potential energy + gravitational potential energy = kinetic energy at maximum amplitude + spring potential energy at maximum amplitude  + gravitational potential energy at maximum amplitude

(0.5) m v² + m g h + (0.5) k x² = (0.5) m v'² + m g A + (0.5) k A²

inserting the values

(0.5) (10) (2.4)² + (10) (9.8) (0.50) + (0.5) (250) (0.50)² = (0.5) (10) (0)² + (10) (9.8) A + (0.5) (250) A²

109.05 = (98) A + (125) A²

A = 0.62 m

Naddik [55]

Answer:

t = (ti)ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

t = 14ln(16)/ln(2)

Solving for t

t = 14×4 = 56 seconds

Explanation:

Let Ai represent the initial amount and At represent the final amount of beryllium-11 remaining after time t

At = Ai/2^n ..... 1

Where n is the number of half-life that have passed.

n = t/half-life

Half life = 14

n = t/14

At = Ai/2^(t/14)

From equation 1.

2^n = Ai/At

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides;

nln(2) = ln(Ai/At)

n = ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

Since n = t/14

t/14 = ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

t = 14ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)

Ai = 800

At = 50

t = 14ln(800/50)/ln(2)

t = 14ln(16)/ln(2)

Solving for t

t = 14×4 = 56 seconds

Let half life = ti

t = (ti)ln(Ai/At)/ln(2)
