The trunk of a elephant may extend up to 2.2 m. It acts much like an organ pipe only open at one end when the elephant blows air through it. 1) Calculate the fundamental frequency of the sound the elephant can create with its trunk.2) If the elephant blows even harder, the next harmonic may be sounded. What is the frequency of the first overtone?

Answer from: priscillaoliver5214

1) f = 38.63 Hz , 2) f = 115.9 Hz

Explanation:

The elephant's trunk can be approximated by a tube with a closed end, in pipes the closed ends correspond to nodes and the open ends to antinodes or bellies.

The expression for the wavelengths of this system is

4L = n λ

n = 1, 3, 5, 7 ...

also let's use the relationship between frequency and wavelength and wave speed

v = λ f

f = v / λ

f = v n / 4L

f = v / 4L n

1) the fundamental frequency occurs for n = 1

f = 340/4 2.2 1

f = 38.63 Hz

2) The first harmonic

n = 3

f = 340/4 2.2 3

f = 115.9 Hz

answer: the correct answer id option(d).

explanation:

snell's law refraction:

$\frac{n_2}{n_1}=\frac{sin \theta_1}{sin\theta_2}$

the angle of refraction = $\theta_2=38 ^o$

the angle of incidence = $\theta_1=?$

refractive index of air = $n_1$ = 1

refractive index of glycerol $n_2$ = 1.47

$\frac{1.47}{1}=\frac{sin\theta_1}{sin 38^o}, (sin38^o=0.61)$

$sin\theta_2=0.8967$

$\theta_2=24.2^o, (sin^{-1}0.8967=63.72^o)$

from the given options, the most closest answer to 63.72° is 65° of option (d).

Answer from: Quest

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{a-2}^{z-4}+_2^4\alpha$

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

$_a^z\textrm{x}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}$

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases $\gamma -radiations$ . this process does not change the mass number.

$_a^z\textrm{x}^*\rightarrow _a^z\textrm{x}+_0^0\gamma$

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}+_{+1}^0e$

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

The scalar triple product computes the magnitude m of the moment of a force vector f about a specified line. it is m = (r × f) · n, where r is the position vector from the line to the point of application of the force and n is a unit vector in the direction of the line. use matlab to compute the magnitude m for the case where f = [12, −5, 4] n, r = [−3, 5, 2] m, and n = [6, 5, −7].
