Answer:

The wavelength in a longitudinal wave refers to the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions. The amplitude is the distance from the equilibrium position of the medium to a compression or a rarefaction.

Hope this helps!

Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 m/s. What is the acceleration of light?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

As light travels in a straight line at a constant speed, it's acceleration is <u>0 m/s²</u>.

There is no rate of change of speed, so there is no acceleration.

<u>0 m/s²</u> is the right answer.

In a game of angry birds you launch a bird with an angle of 53 degrees to horizontal. Unfortunatly, its not a good shot and the

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The maximum height covered is 3.25 m.

The horizontal distance covered is 9.81 m.

The total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

Explanation:

The launch speed, $u_0= 10 m/s$ .

Angle of launch with the horizontal, $\theta = 53 ^{\circ}$

So, the vertical component of the initial velocity,

$u_0\sin\theta=10 \sin 53 ^{\circ}\cdots(i)$ .

The horizontal component of the initial velocity,

$u_0\cos\theta=10 \cos 53 ^{\circ}$

Let, t be the time of flight, to the horizontal distance covered

$D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})t\cdots(ii)$ .

Not, applying the equation of motion in the vertical direction.

$s= ut +\frac 1 2 at^2$

Where s is the displacement in time t, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration.

In this case, $u =10 \sin 53 ^{\circ}$ (from equation (i), s=0 (as the final height is same as the launch height) and $a = -9.81 m/s^2$ (negative sign is due to the downward direction).

$\Rightarrow 0 = 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})t-\frac 1 2 (9.81)t^2$

$\Rightarrow t= \frac {2\times 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})}{9.81}=1.63$ seconds.

So, the total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

From equation (i),

Total horizontal distance covered is

$D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})\times 1.63 = 9.81 m$ .

Now, for the maximum height, H, applying the equation of motion as

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Here, v is the final velocity and v=0 (at the maximum height), and h=H.

So, $0^2=(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2-2(9.81)H$

$\Rightarrow H = \frac {(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2}{2\times 9.81}$

$\Rightarrow H = 3.25 m$ .

Hence, the maximum height covered is 3.25 m.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to answer this problem you have to know the depth of the column, we say R, this information is important because allows you to compute some harmonic of the tube. With this information you can compute the depth of the colum of air, by taking tino account that the new depth is R-L.

To find the fundamental mode you use:

$f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}$
