A student stands a distance L from a wall and claps her hands. Immediately on hearing the reflection from the wall she claps her

hands again. She continues to do this, so that successive claps and the sound of reflected claps coincide. The frequency at which she claps her hands is f. What is the speed of sound in air?

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance of the student from the wall is L

After hearing the reflection she claps her hand again

A complete cycle is the distance to the wall and back to the boy, so the total distance travel then is 2L, then the wave length is 2L

λ=2L

So the frequent is f

Then using wave equation

v=f λ

Since our λ=2L

Then, v=f×2L

v=2fL

The speed of sound in air is 2fL

Answer:

The temperature of the gas is 1197.02 K

Explanation:

From ideal gas law;

PV = nRT

Where;

P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume of the gas

R is ideal gas constant = 8.314 L.kPa/mol.K

T is the temperature of the gas

n is the number of moles of gas

Volume of the gas in the cylindrical container = πr²h

Given;

r = 6/2 = 3 cm = 0.03 m

h = 11 cm = 0.11 m

V = π × (0.03)² × 0.11 = 3.11 × 10⁻⁴ m³ = 0.311 L

number of moles of oxygen gas = Reacting mass / molar mass

=\frac{0.1}{32} = 0.003125, moles

T = \frac{PV}{nR} = \frac{100X0.311}{0.003125X8.314} =1197.02K

Therefore, the temperature of the gas is 1197.02 K

Which force changes the lithosphere by building up the surface?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

The volcanic eruptions are the ones that manage to cause changes to the lithosphere by building up new material on the surface. Through the volcanic eruptions we have release of pyroclastic material on the surface, and more importantly and in much higher amount lava flows. The lava flows quickly cool off on the surface on the Earth, and as they do they pile up new layers of igneous rocks, thus new crust on the surface of the Earth, causing changes on the lithosphere and shaping it for the foreseeable future.

A physics department has a Foucault pendulum, a long-period pendulum suspended from the ceiling. The pendulum has an electric ci
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

t=37 mins -> 2220sec

We want "T" which is the pendulum time constant

Using this equation

.5A=Ae^(-t/T)

The .5A is half the amplitude

Take ln of both sides to get ride of Ae

=ln(.5)=-2220/T

Now rearrange to = T

T=-2220/ln(.5) = 3202.78sec / 60 secs = 53.38 mins -> first part of the answer.

The second part is really easy. It took 37 mins to decay half way. meaning to decay another half of 50% which equals 25% it will take an additional 37 mins!
