A resonance tube can be used to measured the speed of sound in air. A tuning fork is held above the opening of the tube and struck, while the far end of the tube is lengthened or shortened. Resonances (loudnesses) are heard at a series of tube lengths, L, which are carefully measured.

resonance tube

The speed of sound in air is determined by measuring the distance between two consecutive resonances. A data set for a tuning fork with a frequency of 320 Hz are L1 = 25.8 cm; L2 = 78.4 cm; and L3 = 131.1 cm. Based on these data, what is the speed of sound in air?

Hint: the opening at the top is an antinode while the water surface is a node. Therefore, what fraction of a full wave is L1? What fractions are L2 and L3?

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?

Fill in the blanks with the numbers is a measure of the resistance to flow. a high liquid has a high resistance to flow and flows slowly. the ancients thought everything in the world was made of 4 we now know that there are 94 naturally occurring and scientists have created another 24 i am certain they will create even more. honey flows slowly because it has a high to flowing. a can be separated by physical means because it contains more than one pure substance and 2 pure substances are not chemically bonded to each other. a cannot be separated by physical means. all matter is made up of all elements are with the same number of protons. if it is just a single or many bonded together, if all of them have the same number of protons, it is an element. in a piece of pure iron metal, all the are joined together, that piece of iron metal is called elemental iron. a single of iron is called elemental iron. a mixture has differences from place to place. we might need a microscope to see them or they might be obvious to the unaided eye. there are surfaces separating it into different phases. a mixture is the same everywhere. it is uniform. there are no surfaces separating it into different phases. if different kinds of atoms (different elements) are bonded together by their electrons, it is called a there are physical means of to isolate the different pure substances in a mixture and there are chemical means of to isolate the different elements in a compound. 1. element 2. compound 3. mixture 4. heterogeneous 5. homogeneous 6. pure substance 7. atoms 8. separation 9. viscosity 10. resistance
