1) 2.5 wavelengths

2) 0.208 m

3) 1731 Hz

Explanation:

Standing waves are waves that do not propagate, but instead the particles of the medium just oscillate around a fixed position. Examples of standing waves are the waves produced on a string with fixed ends.

The points of a standing wave in which the amplitude of the oscillation is always zero are called nodes.

The two fixed ends of the string are two nodes. In this problem, we have a total of 6 nodes along the string: this means that there are 4 additional nodes apart from the two ends of the string.

Therefore, this also means that the string oscillate in 5 different segments.

One wavelength is equal to 2 segments of the oscillation: therefore, since here there are 5 segments, this means that the number of wavelengths that we have in this string is

$n=\frac{5}{2}=2.5$

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crests (or throughs) of the wave.

The wavelength of a standing wave can be also measured as the distance between the nth-node and the (n+2)-th node: so, basically, the wavelength in a standing wave is twice the distance between two nodes:

$\lambda = 2 d$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

d is the distance between two nodes

Here the length of the string is

L = 0.520 m

And since it oscillates in 5 segments, the distance between two nodes is

$d=\frac{L}{5}=\frac{0.520}{5}=0.104 m$

And therefore, the wavelength is

$\lambda=2d=2(0.104)=0.208 m$

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations of the wave per second.

The frequency of a wave is related to its speed and wavelength by the wave equation:

$v=f\lambda$

where

v is the speed

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

In this problem:

v = 360 m/s is the speed of the wave

$\lambda=0.208 m$ is the wavelength

Therefore, the frequency is

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{360}{0.208}=1731 Hz$

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.

Review multiple-concept example 7 in this chapter as an aid in solving this problem. in a fast-pitch softball game the pitcher is impressive to watch, as she delivers a pitch by rapidly whirling her arm around so that the ball in her hand moves in a circle. in one instance, the radius of the circle is 0.626 m. at one point on this circle, the ball has an angular acceleration of 66.1 rad/s2 and an angular speed of 12.6 rad/s. (a) find the magnitude of the total acceleration (centripetal plus tangential) of the ball. (b) determine the angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
