The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

<h3 /><h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by a body to the total time taken.

To calculate the speed of the sound in the xenon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • v = λf............. Equation 1

Where:

  • v = Speed of the sound in xenon
  • f = Frequency
  • λ = Wavelength.

From the question,

Given:

  • f = 440 Hz
  • λ = 40.4 cm = 0.404 m

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • v = 440(0.404)
  • v = 177.76 m/s.
  • v ≈ 178 m/s

Hence, The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

At a baseball game, the batter hit a fly ball at time t = 0 s. The outfielder caught the ball at t = 5.8 s. When was the ball at
Agata [3.3K]
We have the following equation for height:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 Where,
 a: acceleration
 vo: initial speed
 h0: initial height.
 The value of the acceleration is:
 a = -g = -9.8 m / s ^ 2
 For t = 0 we have:
 h (0) = (1/2) * (a) * 0 ^ 2 + vo * 0 + h0
 h (0) = h0
 h0 = 0 (reference system equal to zero when the ball is hit).
 For t = 5.8 we have:
 h (5.8) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0
 (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0 = 0
 vo = (1/2) * (9.8) * (5.8)
 vo = 28.42
 Substituting values we have:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 h (t) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t + 0
 Rewriting:
 h (t) = -4.9 * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t
 The maximum height occurs when:
 h '(t) = -9.8 * t + 28.42
 -9.8 * t + 28.42 = 0
 t = 28.42 / 9.8
 t = 2.9 seconds.
 Answer:
 
The ball was at maximum elevation when:
 
t = 2.9 seconds.

The magnetic field produced by the solenoid in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed for measurements on whole huma
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Number of turns per unit length will be n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m

Explanation:

We have given that strength of the magnetic field produced by the solenoid B = 7 T

Current in the solenoid i = 200 A

Let the number of turns per unit length is n

Magnetic field due to solenoid is given as B=\mu ni here \mu is permeability of free space n is number of turns per unit length and i is current

So 7=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times  n\times 200

n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet
expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

also the PE is given as function of position as

PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

A^2 - x^2 = x^2

2x^2 = A^2

x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}

f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}

f_k = \frac{8}{9}

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

f_{PE} = 1 - f_k

f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9
