a) With a 660 Hz tuning fork, you measure a distance of 25 +/- 2 cm between adjacent nodes. Is the value of c=340 m/s within the uncertainty of your measured value?

b) If you blow air along the top of an open soda bottle you can excite a standing wave in the bottle and you hear a sound. Explain what happens if you put osme water into the bottle and then perform the same experiment!

Please show calculations and/or explanation thoroughly! Also please answer both questions. Thank you

A tuning fork on a movable cart is vibrating at a frequency of 1500 Hz. As you are walking past the cart at 2 m/sec, the cart begins accelerating uniformly in the direction you’re walking. When it is 20 m in front of you, the sound of the tuning fork is heard to be at a frequency of 1380 Hz. Knowing that the air temperature at your location is 23.6°C, determine the acceleration of the cart.

You have a tuning fork, called tuning fork A of unknown frequency. you know that when it vibrates, it has a maximum amplitude of 0.002ft. Tuning fork B, which has a period of 0.05s causes tuning for A to vibrate with an amplitude of 0.01ft. Tuning for C which has a period of 0.2s causes tuning fork A to vibrate with an amplitude of 0.015ft. What is the natural frequency of tuning fork A?

A 515-Hz tuning fork is struck and placed next to a tube with a movable piston, creating a tube with a variable length. The piston is slid down the pipe and resonance is reached when the piston is 112.5 cm from the open end. The next resonance is reached when the piston is 82.5 cm from the open end. Round all answers to one decimal place. Hint (a) What is the speed of sound in the tube? v=v=  m/s How far...

A guitarist tunes one of her strings to a 440 Hz tuning fork. Initially, a beat frequency of 5 Hz is heard when the string and tuning fork are sounded. When the guitarist tightens the string slowly and steadily, the beat frequency decreases to 4 Hz. What was the initial frequency of the string?

Vibration from a 620 Hz tuning fork sets up standing waves on a string clamped at both ends (one of which you may take as x=0). The travelling wave speed on this string is 440 m/s. The standing wave has four anti-nodes and an amplitude of 2.0 mm. (a) What is the length of the string? ___ m (b) Write an equation for the transverse displacement of the string as a function of position and time: y(x,t) = ( ___...

1. How do tuning forks produce sound waves? Explain. 2. What physical aspect of the fork determines the wavelength? 3. Where are the nodes on a tuning forks? 4. Why does the sound produced depend heavily on the orientation of the fork? This is referred to as 'Directionally Dependent.' 5. How should you orientate the fork in order to best hear the sound it produces?

The deflection plates in an oscilloscope are 10 cm by 2 cm with a gap distance of 1 mm. A 100 volt potential difference is suddenly applied to the initially uncharged plates through a 1100 ohm resistor in series with the deflection plates. How long does it take for the potential difference between the deflection plates to reach 50 volts? 1.3e-8 is wrong
A musician is tuning the pitch of a violin using a sound fork at 3,000 Hz. He first hears the combined sound intensity rise and fall with a time of 0.25 s between the maximum intensity and the succeeding minimum intensity.
A musician is tuning the pitch of a violin using a sound fork at 3,000 Hz. He first hears the combined sound intensity rise and fall with a time of 0.25 s between the maximum intensity and the succeeding minimum intensity. As he tightens the string, the time between the intensity maximums becomes longer. What is the pitch of the violin string at first?

Measuring the distance between two trees, you measure that there are 75.5 steps between the two trees. Give an estimate of the unit of measurement of one step in meters and give an estimate of what you think its uncertainty is. Give the distance that separates the trees in meters as well as feet/inches and round to the correct amount of significant digits. What would you say are the uncertainties for the these two distances
