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

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The speed of the ball 1.0 m above the ground is 44 m/s (Answer A).

Explanation:

Hi there!

To solve this problem, let´s use the law of conservation of energy. Since there is no air resistance, the only energies that we should consider is the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy. Because of the conservation of energy, the loss of potential energy of the ball must be compensated by a gain in kinetic energy.

In this case, the potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy as the ball falls (this is only true when there are no dissipative forces, like air resistance, acting on the ball). Then, the loss of potential energy (PE) is equal to the increase in kinetic energy (KE):

We can express this mathematically as follows:

-ΔPE = ΔKE

-(final PE - initial PE) = final KE - initial KE

The equation of potential energy is the following:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

The equation of kinetic energy is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass of the ball.

v = velocity.

Then:

-(final PE - initial PE) = final KE - initial KE          

-(m · g · hf - m · g · hi) = 1/2 · m · v² - 0     (initial KE = 0 because the ball starts from rest)  (hf = final height, hi = initial height)

- m · g (hf - hi) = 1/2 · m · v²

2g (hi - hf) = v²

√(2g (hi - hf)) = v

Replacing with the given data:

√(2 · 9.8 m/s²(101 m - 1.0 m)) = v

v = 44 m/s

The speed of the ball 1.0 m above the ground is 44 m/s.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Length, l = 33.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrical field, E=3\times 10^6\ V/m

Let the electrical potential is, V=10^8\ V

We need to find the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt. The relation between electric field and the electric potential is given by :

V=E\times d\\\\d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{10^8}{3\times 10^6}\\\\d=33.4\ m

So, the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A hummingbird 3.4m above the ground flies 1.2 m along a straight line path. Upon spotting a flower below, the hummingbird drops
Anit [1.1K]

A = horizontal displacement of the humming bird = 1.2 m

B = vertical displacement of the humming bird = 1.4 m

C = net displacement of the humming bird from initial to final position = ?

In the triangle drawn , Using Pythagorean theorem

C = √(A² + B²)

inserting the values

C = √(1.2² + 1.4²)

C = √(1.44 + 1.96)

C = √(3.4)

C = 1.4 m

Hence the net displacement of hummingbird comes out to be 1.4 m
