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.

20. The speed of Light is 3.0 x 108 m/s. Blue Light has a frequency of 6.11 x 1014 Hz. What is its wavelength?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

the applicable formula is

v = fλ

where

v = velocity (i.e speed) = given as 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency = given asw 6.11 x 10¹⁴

λ = wavelength

if we rearrange the equation and substitute the values given above,

v = fλ

λ = v/f  

= 3.0 x 10⁸ / 6.11 x 10¹⁴

= 4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m

1. An object has a mass of 10g and a volume of 50mL. What is the density?
Alona [7]

1. 0.2 g/mL

The relationship between mass, density and volume of an object is

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

d is the density

m is the mass

V is the volume

For the object in this problem, we have

m = 10 g

V = 50 mL

Substituting into the equation,

d=\frac{10}{50}=0.2 g/mL

2. 10 mL

In this exercise we know:

- The density of the object: d = 2 g/mL

- The mass of the object: m = 20 g

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the volume:

V=\frac{m}{d}

And substituting values into the equation, we find

V=\frac{20}{2}=10 mL

A nautical mile is 6076 feet, and 1 knot is a unit of speed equal to 1 nautical mile/hour. How fast is a boat going 8 knots goin
mezya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

Explanation:

given,

1  nautical mile = 6076 ft

1 knot = 1 nautical mile /hour

1 knot = 6076 ft/hr

speed of boat = 8 knots

 8 knots = 8 nautical mile /hour

               =8 \times \dfrac{6076\ ft}{1\nautical\ mile}\times \dfrac{1\ hour}{60\times 60\ s}

               = 13.50 ft/s

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

The expressions for e/m and the relative error of e/m due to all of the parameters measured:
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Term 1 = (0.616 × 10⁻⁵)

Term 2 = (7.24 × 10⁻⁵)

Term 3 = (174 × 10⁻⁵)

Term 4 = (317 × 10⁻⁵)

(σ ₑ/ₘ) / (e/m) = (499 × 10⁻⁵) to the appropriate significant figures.

Explanation:

(σ ₑ/ₘ) / (e/m) = (σᵥ /V)² + (2 σᵢ/ɪ)² + (2 σʀ /R)² + (2 σᵣ /r)²

mean measurements

Voltage, V = (403 ± 1) V,

σᵥ = 1 V, V = 403 V

Current, I = (2.35 ± 0.01) A

σᵢ = 0.01 A, I = 2.35 A

Coils radius, R = (14.4 ± 0.3) cm

σʀ = 0.3 cm, R = 14.4 cm

Curvature of the electron trajectory, r = (7.1 ± 0.2) cm.

σᵣ = 0.2 cm, r = 7.1 cm

Term 1 = (σᵥ /V)² = (1/403)² = 0.0000061573 = (0.616 × 10⁻⁵)

Term 2 = (2 σᵢ/ɪ)² = (2×0.01/2.35)² = 0.000072431 = (7.24 × 10⁻⁵)

Term 3 = (2 σʀ /R)² = (2×0.3/14.4)² = 0.0017361111 = (174 × 10⁻⁵)

Term 4 = (2 σᵣ /r)² = (2×0.2/7.1)² = 0.0031739734 = (317 × 10⁻⁵)

The relative value of the e/m ratio is a sum of all the calculated terms.

(σ ₑ/ₘ) / (e/m)

= (0.616 + 7.24 + 174 + 317) × 10⁻⁵

= (498.856 × 10⁻⁵)

= (499 × 10⁻⁵) to the appropriate significant figures.

Hope this Helps!!!
