The motion detector used in a physics lab sends and receives 30 kHz ultrasonic pulses. A pulse goes out, reflects off the object being measured, and returns to the detector. The lab temperature is 20 ∘C.
Part A) What is the wavelength of the waves emitted by the motion detector? Express your answer in millimeters.
Part B) How long does it take for a pulse that reflects off an object 3.0 m away to make a round trip? Express your answer in milliseconds.
(a) The speed of sound in air at 20 degrees c is 343m/s.
Wavelength = c/f
…Where…
c = speed of sound in m per second (343m/s)
f = frequency in hertz (30,000)
…therefore…
wavelength = 343/30000 = 0.0114 m
(b)
Round trip to object 3m away = 2*3 = 6m
Time (s) = Distance (m)/c
= 6/343
=0.0175 seconds

In lab, you propel a cart with four known forces while using an ultrasonic motion detector to measure the cart's acceleration. Your data are as follows: Force, F (N) Acceleration, a (m/s2) 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 0.5 0.8 1.3 1.8 FON) 1.0 0.8 F= (0.56 kg)a + 0.00 N 0.4 0.2 0.0 a (m/s) 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 2 4 16 1.8 2.0 Graphing either F versus a or a versus F gives a straight line. In the...
Question 4 to 11 plz Dr? Standing Waves on a String Physics Topics If necessary, review the following topics and relevant textbook sections from Serway / Jewett "Physics for Scientists and Engineers", 9th Ed. • Mathematics of Traveling Waves (Serway 17.2) • Speed of Waves on a String (Serway 17.3) • Superposition of Waves (Serway 18.1) • Standing Waves on a string (Serway 18.2, 18.3) Introduction Imagine two sinusoidal traveling waves with equal amplitudes and frequencies moving in opposite directions....
Physics Lab Assignment This particular discovery is also an example of how those who deserve an award sadly are not always the ones who receive it. Read the following passage focusing your attention on the scientific procedures and scientific abilities you have been developing throughout the course. The discovery of pulsars –rotating neutron stars that generate regular pulses of radiation at their spin rate- was fortuitous. A group of astrophysicists from Cambridge University lead by Anthony Hewish was looking for...
