Answer:

The ratio (U₁/U₂) = 6

Explanation:

U, the potential energy is given as

U = kqQ/r

k = Coulomb's constant

q = charge we're concerned about

Q = charge of the negative plate of the capacitor

r = distance of q from the negative plate of the capacitor.

For charge q₁

U₁ = kq₁Q/s

U₂ = kq₂Q/2s

But q₂ = q₁/3

U₂ becomes U₂ = kq₁Q/6s

U₁ = kq₁Q/s

U₂ = kq₁Q/6s

(U₁/U₂) = 6

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant on Earth. M_1, M_2 are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2

Since M_2 = 2m_2 and r = R/3

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5

An organ pipe open at both ends has a radius of 4.0 cm and a length of 6.0 m. what is the frequency (in hz) of the third harmoni
Marysya12 [62]

When air is blown into the open pipe,

L = \frac{nλ}{2}

where nis any integral number 1,2,3,4 etc. and λ is the wavelength of the oscillation

⇒λ=\frac{2L} {n}

Note here that n=1 is for fundamental, n=2 is first harmonic and so on..

⇒ third harmonic will be n=4

Given L=6m, n=4, solving for λ we get:

λ=\frac{(2)*(6)}{4} =3m

Relationship of frequency(f), velocity of sound (c) and wavelength(λ) is:

c=f.λ Or f= \frac{c}{λ}

⇒f=\frac{344}{3}

≈115 Hz

A.Whale communication. Blue whales apparently communicate with each other using sound of frequency 17.0 Hz, which can be heard n
Y_Kistochka [10]

A. 90.1 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

For the sound emitted by the whale, v = 1531 m/s and f = 17.0 Hz, so the wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{1531 m/s}{17.0 Hz}=90.1 m

B. 102 kHz

We can re-arrange the same equation used previously to solve for the frequency, f:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where for the dolphin:

v = 1531 m/s is the wave speed

\lambda=1.50 cm=0.015 m is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation,

f=\frac{1531 m/s}{0.015 m}=1.02 \cdot 10^5 Hz=102 kHz

C. 13.6 m

Again, the wavelength is given by:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where

v = 340 m/s is the speed of sound in air

f = 25.0 Hz is the frequency of the whistle

Substituting into the equation,

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{25.0 Hz}=13.6 m

D. 4.4-8.7 m

Using again the same formula, and using again the speed of sound in air (v=340 m/s), we have:

- Wavelength corresponding to the minimum frequency (f=39.0 Hz):

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{39.0 Hz}=8.7 m

- Wavelength corresponding to the maximum frequency (f=78.0 Hz):

\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{78.0 Hz}=4.4 m

So the range of wavelength is 4.4-8.7 m.

E. 6.2 MHz

In order to have a sharp image, the wavelength of the ultrasound must be 1/4 of the size of the tumor, so

\lambda=\frac{1}{4}(1.00 mm)=0.25 mm=2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m

And since the speed of the sound wave is

v = 1550 m/s

The frequency will be

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{1550 m/s}{2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=6.2\cdot 10^6 Hz=6.2 MHz
