A 4.0 g string, 0.36 m long, is under tension. The string produces a 500 Hz tone when it vibrates in the third harmonic. The spe

almond37 [142]

Answer:

$\lambda = 0.24 m$

Explanation:

The string vibrates in the third harmonics, n = 3

Length of the string, l = 0.36 m

Frequency of the tone produced, f = 500 Hz

The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s

Calculate the speed of sound produced by the string in the third harmonics:

The frequency of sound is given by the formula:

$f = \frac{nv}{2l} \\500 = \frac{3v}{2*0.36}\\500 * 2 * 0.36 = 3v\\v = 360/3\\v = 120 m/s\\v = \lambda f\\\lambda = v/f\\\lambda = 120/500\\\lambda = 0.24 m$

The U.S. Department of Energy had plans for a 1500-kg automobile to be powered completely by the rotational kinetic energy of a

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

230

Explanation:

$\omega$ = Rotational speed = 3600 rad/s

I = Moment of inertia = 6 kgm²

m = Mass of flywheel = 1500 kg

v = Velocity = 15 m/s

The kinetic energy of flywheel is given by

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}6\times 3600^2\\\Rightarrow K=38880000\ J$

Energy used in one acceleration

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1500\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow K=168750\ J$

Number of accelerations would be given by

$n=\dfrac{38880000}{168750}\\\Rightarrow n=230.4$

So the number of complete accelerations is 230

Tyler stands at rest on a skateboard. He has a mass of 120 kg. His friend (m = 60 kg) jumps into his arms at a speed of 2 m/s. I

Andrews [41]

Momentum question. This is an inelastic collision, so

m1v1+m2v2=Vf(m1+m2)
Vf=(m1v1+m2v2)/(m1+m2)=[(120kg)(0m/s)+(60kg)(2m/s)] / (120kg+60kg)
Vf=120kg m/s / 180kg
Vf=0.67m/s

0.67m/s
