I see. Is the standing wave created by vibrations in the pipe from the moving air?

Homework Statement [/B] When a stream of air is directed over the end of a 40 cm long piece of plastic pipe, open at both ends, a sound is produced. (a) Explain why this occurs (b) If the bottom end of the pipe is covered, what will happen to the pitch of the sound? Explain Homework Equations...

Homework Statement We're supposed to convert a position-time graph to a velocity-time graph to an acceleration time graph. These are the values for the position-time graph: Homework Equations m = y2-y1/x2-x1 The Attempt at a Solution I found the slopes for each time which were 5, 8.5, 17...

I apologize for what seems like a careless mistake but I'm having a hard time applying what you mean by this. Would the normal force not be mgcos(θ) and then multiplying that by the coefficient of friction, becoming 175 Newtons downwards?

Homework Statement In the diagram, m1 has a mass of 47 kg and m2 has a mass of 35 kg. The coefficients of friction between m1 and the surface of the inclined plane are µs = 0.42 and µk = 0.19. (a) If the masses are held in place and then released, will they start to move? (b) If the answer...
