Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

change in speed = (10 m/s) - (2 m/s) = 8 m/s

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (4 sec)

Acceleration = (8/4) (m/s²)

<em>Acceleration = 2 m/s²</em>

A certain tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 215 Hz while each tip of its two prongs has an amplitude of 0.832 mm. (a) What

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of vibration, f = 215 Hz

Amplitude, A = 0.832 mm

(a) Let T is the period of this motion. It is given by the following relation as :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$T=\dfrac{1}{215}$

$T=4.65\times 10^{-3}\ s$

(b) Speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

It can be given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{215\ Hz}$

$\lambda=1.59\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

The Eurasian plate is one of the most extended on Earth, crossing all of Asia and Europe. The Eurasian plate is between the North American and the African Plates on the north and west sides. The Eurasian plate crushed up above the Indian plate. The Tibetan plateau and the Himalayan mountain range formed due to the crush between the Eurasian Plate and Indian Plate, which started 50 million years ago.
