I'm New And I Have A Couple Questions For Grade 12 Physics

AI Thread Summary
To find the speed of sound in steel with a frequency of 442 Hz and a wavelength of 11.66 m, the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength is essential. The formula to use is speed = frequency x wavelength. By applying this equation, the speed can be calculated as 5167.32 m/s. The forum encourages users to attempt solving problems independently before seeking help. This approach fosters learning and understanding of physics concepts.

okay so here's the question...can anyone figure it out... the question is... Sound with a frequency of 442 Hz. travels through steel. A wavelength of 11.66 m is measured. Find the speed of the sound in steel. Please help...i really need some direction

Welcome to the forum. We do expect you to show us some attempt to solve a problem yourself, and then we will help you. Here is a hint:

What is the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength for any wave?
 
so is that equation Speed=frequency x wavelenth?
 
Yes, that's exactly what you need to do.
 
test. It looks like youre on the right track now

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
