. Students in a physics lab are asked to find the length of an air column in a tube closed at one end that has a fundamental frequency of 256 Hz. They hold the tube vertically and fill it with water to the top, then lower the water while a 256-Hz tuning fork is rung and listen for the first resonance. (a) What is the air temperature if the resonance occurs for a length of 0.336 m? (b) At what length will they observe the second resonance (first overtone)?

How do hydroponic plants differ from nonhydroponic plants? a.) hydroponic plants can grow in a dryer soil. nonhydroponic plants grow in moist soil. b.) hydroponic plants grow on other plants and are known as air plants. nonhydroponic plants do not grow on other plants. c.) hydroponic plants can only grow in rain forests. nonhydroponic plants cannot grow in rain forests. d.) hydroponic plants are grown without soil. nonhydroponic plants are grown in soil.

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?

Two point charges are separated by a certain distance. how does the strength of the electric field produced by the first charge, at the position of the second charge, change if the second charge is doubled? a. the field does not change b. the field strength decreases by half. c. the field strength doubles d. the field strength quadruples
