<span>We can think this through intuitively. A frequency of 256 Hz means that the wave has 256 cycles each second. If the wavelength is 1.33 meters, then there are 256 of them each second. Therefore, we just need to multiply the wavelength by the frequency to find the speed of sound. (Note that the units Hz = 1 / s) v = (frequency) x (wavelength) v = (256 Hz) x (1.33 m) v = 340.5 m/s The speed of sound in the vicinity of the fork is 340.5 m/s</span>

A carousel - a horizontal rotating platform - of radius r is initially at rest, and then begins to accelerate constantly until i
OLga [1]

Answer:

α = (ω²)/8π

Explanation:

The angular acceleration(α) of the carousel can be determined by using rotational kinematics:

ω² =ωo² + 2αθ

Let's make α the subject of this equation ;

ω² - ωo² = 2αθ

α = (ω² −ωo²)/2θ

Now, from the question, since initially at rest, thus, ωo = 0

Also,since 2 revolutions, thus, θ = 2 x 2π = 4π since one revolution is 2π

Plugging in the relevant values to get ;

α = (ω²)/2(4π)

α = (ω²)/8π

Bess [88]

Find Displacement and Distance

displacement ...

north is 700+400+100 =1200m n

south=1200m

1200-1200=0


east is 300+300=600m

west is 600m

600-600=0

back at dtart. displ zero


distance is 700+ 300m + 400 m + 600m + 1200m + 300m + 100m  = 3600m

A rectangular block weighs 240 N. the area of the block in contact with the floor is 20 cm2.calculate the pressure on the floor(
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

12 N/cm²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Area (A) = 20 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted by the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Force (F) =.?

Weight and force has the same unit of measurement. Thus, we force applied is equivalent to the weight of the block. Thus,

Force (F) = Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Force (F) = 240 N

Finally, we shall determine the pressure on the floor as follow:

Force (F) = 240 N

Area (A) = 20 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

P = F/A

P = 240 / 20

P = 12 N/cm²

Therefore, the pressure on the floor is 12 N/cm².

You are pulling your little sister on her sled across an icy (frictionless) surface. When you exert a constant horizontal force
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, the magnitude of force applied on the sled is given by the following formula:

F = ma

where,

F = Force Applied = 120 N

a = Acceleration = 2.3 m/s²

m = Mass of Sled + Mass of Little Sister = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Therefore,

120 N = (2.3 m/s²)(8 kg + Mass of Little Sister)

(120 N)/(2.3 m/s²) = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Mass of Little Sister = 52.17 kg - 8 kg

<u>Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg</u>

At room temperature, a typical person loses energy to the surroundings at the rate of 62 W. If this energy loss has to be made u
Alex_Xolod [135]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the given proportions of power and energy, as well as the energy conversion factor in Jules to Calories.

The power is defined as the amount of energy lost per second and whose unit is Watt. Therefore the energy loss rate given in seconds was

P = \frac{E}{t} \rightarrow E= Energy, t = time

P = 62W = 62 \frac{J}{s}

The rate of energy loss per day would then be,

P = 62\frac{J}{s} (\frac{86400s}{1day})

P = 5356800 \frac{J}{day}

That is to say that Energy in Jules per lost day is 5356800J

By definition we know that 1KCal = 4.184*10^{6}J

In this way the energy in Cal is,

E = 5356800J \frac{1KCal}{4.184*10^{6}J}

E = 1279.694 KCal

The number of kilocalories (food calories) must be 1279.694 KCal
