the musical instrument such as a piano may be tuned by using the phenomenon of beats.

The phenomena of beat frequency is often used to tune musical instruments like piano. A tuning fork is tapped ad a string of paino is plucked simultaneously. If the two sound sources produce beats whose frequencies are different, their frequencies won't be identical, and they are will out of tune and noise. Hence the above process is repeated until the frequencies are identical and resonant and the frequencies are not distinguished. Thus making the instrument in tune

This method will work more efficiently for an instrument that is entirely out of tune because it will be easier to distinguish the beats of the instruments and the tuning fork.

Hence the musical instrument such as a piano may be tuned by using the phenomenon of beats.

A dump truck and a little toy matchbox car have the same velocity. which one has the greater momentum?

Zina [86]

That would be the dump truck. Momentum depends on how heavy a certain object is in motion. The more weight it has the harder it is to stop.

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.26 m and a spring constant of 180 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign. both charges are positive(+) or Negative (-)

both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

Given that;

L = 0.26 m

k = 180 N/m

x = 0.039 m

we know that two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign.

Spring force F = kx

F = 180 × 0.039

F = 7.02 N

Now, Electrostatic force F = Keq²/r²

where r = L + x = ( 0.26 + 0.039 )

we know that proportionality constant in electrostatics equations Ke = 9×10⁹ kg⋅m3⋅s−2⋅C−2

so from the equation; F = Keq²/r²

Fr² = Keq²

q = √ ( Fr² / Ke )

we substitute

q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )

q = √ (0.627595 / 9×10⁹)

q = √(6.97 × 10⁻¹¹)

q = 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Therefore both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

efrigerant-134a is expanded isentropically from 600 kPa and 70°C at the inlet of a steady-flow turbine to 100 kPa at the outlet.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Inlet : $v_i=0.0646\frac{m}{s}$

Outlet: $v_o=0.171\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

1) Notation and important concepts

Flow of mass represent "the mass of a substance which passes per unit of time".

Flow rate represent "a measure of the volume of liquid that moves in a certain amount of time"

Specific volume is "the ratio of the substance's volume to its mass. It is the reciprocal of density."

Isentropic process is a "thermodynamic process, in which the entropy of the fluid or gas remains constant".

We know that the flow of mass is given by the following expression

$\dot{m}=\frac{\dot{V}}{\upsilon}$ , where $\dot{V}$ represent the flow rate and $\upsilon$ the specific volume at the pressure and temperature given.

$A_i=0.5m^2$ is the inlet area

$P_i=600Kpa$ pressure at the inlet area

$T_i=70C$ temperature at the inlet area

$A_o=1m^2$ is the outlet area

$P_o=100Kpa$ pressure at the outlet area

$T_o=C$ temperature at the outlet area

$\dot{m}=0.75\frac{kg}{s}$ represent the flow of mass

If we look at the first figure attached Table A-13 we see that the specific volume for the inlet condition is

$\upsilon_i =0.04304\frac{kg}{m^3}$ and the entropy is $h_i=1.0645\frac{KJ}{KgK}=h_o$

With the value of entropy and the outlet pressure of 100 Kpa we can find we specific volume at the outlet condition since w ehave the entropy $h_o=1.0645\frac{KJ}{KgK}$
