Answer:

Explanation:

frequency, f = 440 Hz

length, L = 38.9 cm = 0.389 m

Tension, T = 667 N

The formula for the frequency is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}$

where, μ = m/L (mass per unit length)

So, $m=\frac{T}{4Lf^{2}}$

By substituting the values

$m=\frac{667}{4\times 0.389\times 440\times 440}$

m = 2.21 x 10^-3 kg

m = 2.21 g

Answer:

Mass, m = 2.2 kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of the piano, f = 440 Hz

Length of the piano, L = 38.9 cm = 0.389 m

Tension in the spring, T = 667 N

The frequency in the spring is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

$\mu=\dfrac{m}{L}$ is the linear mass density

On rearranging, we get the value of m as follows :

$m=\dfrac{T}{4Lf^2}$

$m=\dfrac{667}{4\times 0.389\times (440)^2}$

m = 0.0022 kg

or

m = 2.2 grams

So, the mass of the object is 2.2 grams. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

a). va=17.23 $\frac{m}{s}$ or 38.54 mph

b). v=38.54 mph and limit is 35 mph

c). Completely inelastic

d). Eka=192.967 kJ

Ekt=76.071 kJ

Explanation:

$m_{a}=1300kg\\m_{b}=2000kg\\x_{f}=7.25m\\u_{k}=0.65$

The motion is an inelastic collision so

$m_{a}*v_{a}+m_{b}*v_{b}=(m_{a}+m_{b})*v_{f}$

The force of the motion is contrarest by the force of friction so

$F-F_{uk} =0\\F=F_{uk}\\F_{uk}=u_{k}*m*g\\F=m*a\\a=\frac{F}{m}\\ a=\frac{F_{uk}}{m}\\a=\frac{u_{k}*m*g}{m}\\a=u_{k}*g\\a=0.65*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} \\a=6.39\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Now with the acceleration can find the time and the velocity final that make the distance 7.25m being united

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+2*a*t^{2}\\x_{o}=0\\v_{o}=0\\x_{f}=2*a*t^{2}\\t^{2}=\frac{x_{f}}{2*a}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{7.25m}{6.37\frac{m}{s^{2} } } } \\t=1.06s$

So the velocity final can be find using this time

$v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t\\v_{o}=0\\v_{f}=6.37\frac{m}{s^{2} } *1.06s\\v_{f}=6.79 \frac{m}{s}$

a).

Replacing in the first equation the final velocity can find the initial velocity

$m_{a}*v_{a}+m_{b}*v_{b}=(m_{a}+m_{b})*v_{f}$

$v_{b}=0$

$v_{a}= \frac{(m_{a}+m_{b)*v_{f}}}{m_{a}}\\v_{a}= \frac{(1300+2000)*6.37}{1300}\\v_{a}=17.23 \frac{m}{s}$

b).

$35mph*\frac{1m}{0.000621371mi} *\frac{1h}{3600s}=15.646\frac{m}{s}$

Velocity limit in m/s is 15.646 m/s and the initial velocity is 17.23 m/s

so is exceeding the speed limit in about 1.58 m/s

or in miles per hour

3.5 mph

c).

The collision is complete inelastic because any mass can be returned to the original mass, so even they are no the same mass however in the moment they move the distance 7.25m as a same mass the motion is considered completely inelastic

d).

$Ek=\frac{1}{2}*m*(v)^{2}\\ Eka=\frac{1}{2}*1300kg*(17.23\frac{m}{s})^{2}\\Eka=192.967 kJ\\Ekt=\frac{1}{2}*m*(v)^{2}\\Ekt=\frac{1}{2}*3300kg*(6.79\frac{m}{s})^{2}\\Ekt=76.071 kJ$

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou

irakobra [83]

Answer:

λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between the velocity of electromagnetic waves (UV rays) and the their frequency is:

v = fλ

where,

v = c = speed of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = speed of light

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = 9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz

λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = ?

Therefore, substituting the values in the relation, we get:

3 x 10⁸ m/s = (9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)(λ)

λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)

<u>λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm</u>

So, the radiation of <u>320 nm</u> wavelength is absorbed by Ozone.

A 5.00μF parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a 12.0 V battery. After the capacitor is fully charged, the battery is disconn

EastWind [94]

(a) 12.0 V

In this problem, the capacitor is connected to the 12.0 V, until it is fully charged. Considering the capacity of the capacitor, $C=5.00 \mu F$ , the charged stored on the capacitor at the end of the process is

$Q=CV=(5.00 \mu F)(12.0 V)=60 \mu C$

When the battery is disconnected, the charge on the capacitor remains unchanged. But the capacitance, C, also remains unchanged, since it only depends on the properties of the capacitor (area and distance between the plates), which do not change. Therefore, given the relationship

$V=\frac{Q}{C}$

and since neither Q nor C change, the voltage V remains the same, 12.0 V.

(b) (i) 24.0 V

In this case, the plate separation is doubled. Let's remind the formula for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor:

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A}{d}$

where:

$\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space

$\epsilon_r$ is the relative permittivity of the material inside the capacitor

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

As we said, in this case the plate separation is doubled: d'=2d. This means that the capacitance is halved: $C'=\frac{C}{2}$ . The new voltage across the plate is given by

$V'=\frac{Q}{C'}$

and since Q (the charge) does not change (the capacitor is now isolated, so the charge cannot flow anywhere), the new voltage is

$V'=\frac{Q}{C'}=\frac{Q}{C/2}=2 \frac{Q}{C}=2V$

So, the new voltage is

$V'=2 (12.0 V)=24.0 V$

(c) (ii) 3.0 V

The area of each plate of the capacitor is given by:

$A=\pi r^2$

where r is the radius of the plate. In this case, the radius is doubled: r'=2r. Therefore, the new area will be

$A'=\pi (2r)^2 = 4 \pi r^2 = 4A$

While the separation between the plate was unchanged (d); so, the new capacitance will be

$C'=\frac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A'}{d}=4\frac{\epsilon_0 \epsilon_r A}{d}=4C$

So, the capacitance has increased by a factor 4; therefore, the new voltage is

$V'=\frac{Q}{C'}=\frac{Q}{4C}=\frac{1}{4} \frac{Q}{C}=\frac{V}{4}$

which means

$V'=\frac{12.0 V}{4}=3.0 V$

Follow these steps to solve this problem: Two identical loudspeakers, speaker 1 and speaker 2, are 2.0 m apart and are emitting

horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wave length of sound from each of the speakers = 340 / 1700 = .2 m = 20 cm

Distance between first speaker and the given point = 4 m.

Distance between second speaker and the given sound

= √ 4² + 2² = √16 +4 = √20 = 4.472 m

Path difference = 4.472 - 4 = .4722 m.

Path difference / wave length = 0.4772 / 0.2 = 2.386

This is a fractional integer which is neither an odd nor an even multiple of half wavelength. Hence this point of neither a perfect constructive nor a perfect destructive interference.
