Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}

Now,

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}

\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s

Answer:

v = √2G M_{earth} / R

Explanation:

For this problem we use energy conservation, the energy initiated is potential and kinetic and the final energy is only potential (infinite r)

        Eo = K + U = ½ m1 v² - G m1 m2 / r1

        Ef = - G m1 m2 / r2

When the body is at a distance R> Re, for the furthest point (r2) let's call it Rinf

       Eo = Ef

       ½ m1v² - G m1 M_{earth} / R = - G m1 M_{earth} / R

      v² = 2G M_{earth} (1 / R - 1 / Rinf)

If we do Rinf = infinity     1 / Rinf = 0

       v = √2G M_{earth} / R

      Ef = = - G m1 m2 / R

The mechanical energy is conserved  

 

      Em = -G m1  M_{earth} / R

      Em = - G m1  M_{earth} / R

     R = int        ⇒  Em = 0

An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec
Anarel [89]
Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.

A major benefit of the daguerreotype process is that ________.
tigry1 [53]

Daguerreotype is defined as the first practical photographic process which was introduced in Paris on January 7, 1839. To make the image permanent, Daguerre used salt solution. The result of his introduced process is a finely defined image with surface which is delicate. The major benefit of daguerreotype is if the images are correctly preserved, the pictures could last forever. Aside from this, since it produces superior quality of outline, it is thus suitable for portraitures.

A spaceship maneuvering near planet zeta is located at r⃗ =(600i^−400j^+200k^)×103km, relative to the planet, and traveling at v
slava [35]

<u>Answer:</u>

 The spaceship's position when the engine shuts off = (708.15 i - 444.1 j + 200 k)*10^3km

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Initial location of spaceship = (600 i - 400 j + 200 k)*10^3km= (600 i - 400 j + 200 k)*10^6m

  Initial velocity = 9500 i m/s

  Acceleration = (40 i - 20 k)10^3m/s^2

  Time = 35 minute = 35 * 60 = 2100 seconds

 We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  Substituting

       s= (9500 i)*2100+\frac{1}{2}*(40 i - 20 k)*2100^2\\ \\ s=9500*2100 i+20*2100^2i-10*2100^2j\\ \\ s=19.95*10^6i+88.2*10^6i-44.1*10^6j\\ \\ \\s=(108.15i-44.1j)*10^6m

     So final position = ((600 i - 400 j + 200 k)+(108.15i-44.1j))*10^6=(708.15 i - 444.1 j + 200 k)*10^6m

                              =(708.15 i - 444.1 j + 200 k)*10^3km

    The spaceship's position when the engine shuts off = (708.15 i - 444.1 j + 200 k)*10^3km

If current I=2A and resistance R= 5 ohms what is the potential difference (voltage) V?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

10 V

Explanation:

From Ohm's law, V=IR where V is the potential difference voltage, I is the current and R is resistance. Substituting 2A for current and 5 Ohms for resistance then V=2*5= 10 V
