A variable-length air column is placed just below a vibrating wire that is fixed at both ends. The length of the air column, ope

n at one end, is gradually increased from zero until the first position of resonance is observed at ????=31.2 cm. The wire is 129 cm long and is vibrating in its third harmonic. If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, what is the speed of transverse waves in the wire? Assume that the displacement antinode in the air column is exactly at the open end.

Answer:

The speed of transverse waves in the wire is 234.26 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of wire = 129 cm

Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

First position of resonance = 31.2 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

For pipe open at one end and closed at other, there is node at closed end and an anti node at open end for 1st resonance.

At 1st resonance,

$L=\dfrac{\lambda}{4}$

$\lambda=4\times L$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=4\times31.2\times10^{-2}$

$\lambda=1.248\ m$

We need to calculate the frequency of sound in pipe

Using formula of frequency

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

Put the value into the formula

$f=\dfrac{340}{1.248}$

$f=272.4\ Hz$

We need to calculate the node distance

For the wire, there are 3 segments, so 4 nodes

Node-node distance ,

$L=\dfrac{l}{3}$

$L = \dfrac{129}{3}$

$L=43\ cm$

We need to calculate the wavelength of the wire

Using formula of length

$L=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}$

$\lambda=L\times 2$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=43\times2$

$\lambda=86\ cm$

We need to calculate the speed of the wave

Using formula of frequency

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

$v=f\times\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

$v=272.4\times86\times10^{-2}$

$v=234.26\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of transverse waves in the wire is 234.26 m/s.

A 13,000-N vehicle is to be lifted by a 25-cm diameter hydraulic piston. What force needs to be applied to a 5.0 cm diameter pis

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Pascal's Law in fluid mechanics

According to it , pressure is transmitted in liquid from one point to another without any change .

25 cm diameter = 12.5 x 10⁻² m radius

Area = 3.14 x (12.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 490.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Pressure by vehicle

Force / area

13000 / 490.625 x 10⁻⁴

= 26.497 x 10⁴ Pa

5 cm diameter = 2.5 x 10⁻² radius

area = 3.14 x (2.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

If we assume required force F on this area

Pressure = F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ Pa

According to Pascal Law

F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ = 26.497 x 10⁴

F = 19.625 x 26.497

= 520 N

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The options are approximations of the exact answers:

A) $1\times10^6N/C$

B) $2\times10^{-13}N$

C) $1\times10^{-2}V$

D) Toward the inner wall

E) $3\times10^{-17}J$

Explanation:

A) The electric field in a parallel plate capacitor is given by the formula $E=\frac{\sigma}{k\epsilon_0}$ , where $\epsilon_0=8.85\times10^{-12}C/Vm$ and in our case $\sigma=10^5C/m^2$ and, for air, $k=1.00059$ , so we have:

$E=\frac{10^5C/m^2}{(1.00059)(8.85\times10^{-12}C/Vm)}=1.13\times10^6N/C$

B) The K+ ion has one elemental charge excess, so its charge is $q=1.6\times10^{-19}C$ , and the force a charge experiments under an electric field E is given by F=qE, so we have:

$F=(1.6\times10^{-19}C)(1.13\times10^6N/C)=1.81\times10^{-13}N$

C) The potential difference between two points separated a distance d under an uniform electric potential E is given by $\Delta V=dE$ , so we have:

$\Delta V=(10\times10^{-9}m)(1.13\times10^6N/C)=1.13\times10^{-2}V$

D) The electic field goes from positive to negative charges, so it goes towards the inner wall.

E) The work done by an electric field through a potential difference $\Delta V$ on a charge Q is $W=Q\Delta V$ , and is equal to the kinetic energy imparted on it, so we have:

$K=(3\times10^{-15}C)(1.13\times10^{-2}V)=3.39\times10^{-17}J$

Starting at point 0, you travel 500 m on a straight road that slopes upward at a constant angle of 5 degrees. What is your heigh

ira [324]

Answer:

43.58 m

Explanation:

If you travel 500 m on a straight road that slopes upward at a constant angle of 5 degrees

Using trigonometry ratio

Sin 5 = opposite/hypothenus

Where the hypothenus = 500m

Opposite = height h

Sin 5 = h/500

Cross multiply

500 × sin 5 = h

h = 500 × 0.08715

h = 43.58m

Therefore, the height above the starting point is equal to 43.58m

Vesna [10]

Answer:

1) g = 4π² / m, 3) xaxis the length of the pendulums and the y axis the period squared

Explanation:

a) students can approximate this system to a simple pendulum, in this case the angular velocity is

w = √ g / l

angular velocity, frequency and period are related

w = 2π f = 2π / T

we substitute

T = 2π√ l / g

with this equation they can determine the value of the acceleration of gravity, for this they measure the period for various lengths of the pendulum and graph

T² = 4π² l / g

We graph T² vs l

where this is the equation of a line if the independent variable is y = T² and x = l

y = (4π² / g) l

so the slope is

m = 4π² / g

clearing

g = 4π² / m

where the slope can be found with the values of the line not the experimental values.

2) to carry out the experiment, or the thread is attached to the sphere, the length of the pendulum that goes from the pivot point to the center of the sphere is measured with a tape measure and a small finished angle is turned or less than 10th is released, it is good to wait for the first oscillation to walk, the time of a determined number of oscillations is generally measured 10 or 20, the period is calculated

T = t / n

a table of T² against the length is made and it is plotted with the length in the ax ax, we look for the slope and hence the acceleration of gravity

3) on the independent x-axis, the controlled variable must be plotted, which is the length of the pendulums, and on the y-axis, the dependent variable is the period squared

4) of the equation of the line

m = 4pi2 / g

where it ends up reaching the floor

g = 4pi2 / m

5) when the spring is cut, the sphere remains under the effect of gravity acceleration, the harmonic movement disappears and the sphere is in a vertical movement
