Deep-sea divers often breathe a mixture of helium and oxygen to avoid getting the "bends" from breathing high-pressure nitrogen.

The helium has the side effect of making the divers' voices sound odd. Although your vocal tract can be roughly described as an open-closed tube, the way you hold your mouth and position your lips greatly affects the standing-wave frequencies of the vocal tract. This is what allows different vowels to sound different. The "ee" sound is made by shaping your vocal tract to have standing-wave frequencies at, normally, 270 Hz and 2300 Hz.What will these frequencies be for a helium-oxygen mixture in which the speed of sound at body temperature is 750 m/s? The speed of sound in air at body temperature is 350 m/s.

Answer:

0.69444 m, 0.08152 m, 0.32407 m, 0.03804 m

Explanation:

v = Velocity of sound

f = Frequency

Length of vocal tract is given by

L=\dfrac{v}{4f}

At f = 270 Hz v = 750 m/s

L=\dfrac{750}{4\times 270}\\\Rightarrow L=0.69444\ m

At f = 2300 Hz v = 750 m/s

L=\dfrac{750}{4\times 2300}\\\Rightarrow L=0.08152\ m

At f = 270 Hz v = 350 m/s

L=\dfrac{350}{4\times 270}\\\Rightarrow L=0.32407\ m

At f = 2300 Hz v = 350 m/s

L=\dfrac{350}{4\times 2300}\\\Rightarrow L=0.03804\ m

750 million years ago, there was enough Uranium-235 present in Oklo, Gabon to have a natural fission reactor occur and generate
Komok [63]
<span>With a half-life of 700 million years, U-235 would have had twice as much mass at a time 700 MYA. This would have put the mass at 100kg at that time. Going back another 50 million years would be (50/700) or 1/14 of the half-life, or (1/2 * 1/14), or 1/28 of the total mass. 1/28 of 100kg is 3.57kg, so the amount present at the 750MYA mark would be approximately 103.57kg of U-235.</span>

A solid cylinder is radiating power. It has a length that is ten times its radius. It is cut into a number of smaller cylinders,
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The total number of small cylinder = 7.

Explanation:

Lets take

Radius of the large cylinder = R

length = L

L = 10 R

The total area A = 2 π R² + π R L

The length of the small cylinder = l

The number of small cylinder = n

L = n l

The total area of small cylinders

A'=n (2 π R² + π R l)

As we know that emissive power given as

P = A ε σ T⁴

For large cylinder

P = A ε σ T⁴      -----------1

For small cylinders

P'=A' ε σ T⁴    ------2

From 1 and 2

Given that

P'= 2 P

A' ε σ T⁴ =2 A ε σ T⁴

A'=2 A       (All others are constant)

n (2 π R² + π R l) =(2 2 π R² + π R L)

n (2  R² +  R l) = (2  R² +  R L)

n(2R^2+R\times \dfrac{L}{n}) = 2(2R^2+RL)

L = 10 R

n(2R^2+R\times \dfrac{10R}{n}) =2 (2R^2+R\times 10R)

n(2+\dfrac{10}{n}) =2( 2+ 10)

2 n +10 = 2 x 12

2 n +10 = 24

2 n = 24 -10

2 n = 14

n = 7

The total number of small cylinder = 7.
