Speed of Sound in Air Problem- Is this correct?

AI Thread Summary
The speed of sound in air at 0°C is 331.3 m/s. To find the temperature at which a 440 Hz sound wave has a wavelength of 0.82 meters, calculations show the speed of sound would need to be 360.8 m/s. Using the equation Vт = Vo √(T/273), the derived temperature is approximately 5.43°C. The discussion also highlights collaboration, as the original poster received assistance from a friend in solving the problem. Overall, the calculations and temperature findings are confirmed as accurate.

The speed of sound at 0°C in open air is 331.3 m/sec. At what temperature would the wavelength of a 440 Hz sound wave be 0.82 meters?

Equation to find the speed of sound: Vт = Vo √(T/273)

T = 273 + t(°C)

My calculations:

Vт = 440 Hz (0.82 m) = 360.8 m/s

Vт = Vo √(T/273)
360.8 m/s = 331.3 m/s (t^2)
-331.3 m/s = -331.3 m/s (t^2)
29.5 = t^2
√(29.5) = t
5.431 = t
 
Physics news on Phys.org
360.8 m/s = 331.3 m/s (t^2)
-331.3 m/s = -331.3 m/s (t^2)

How did you get that?
 
Nvm. I got help from a friend. Thank you for your help though!
 
welcome!
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
