A F note has a wavelength of 98.8 cm. Calculate its frequency.
A person is standing on the south side of a canyon and shouts. She hears the echo in 0.44 seconds. Assuming the sound bounced off the other side of the canyon and came back, how wide is the canyon?
What happens to the wavelength and the frequency of a note as you go up one octave?
A tube is open on one end and closed on the other. Draw the largest and second largest standing waves.
Two metal spheres are charged, q = 6Q and q = -2Q, and are separated by a distance d. The attractive force between these two spheres is 20 N. The metal spheres are then brought together so they are touching, and then separated again a distance d. What is the new charge on the metal spheres and what is the new force between them?
Two objects, whose charges are +3 nC and -2 nC, are separated by 1.0 mm. Find the magnitude of the attractive force that either charge exerts on the other.
