Question 4. A tuning fork ‘A’ produces 6 beats/sec with another fork ‘B’ of un-known frequency. On

Clever problem.

We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks.  So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is      6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz.  But which one is it ?

Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz.  That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.

If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.

The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz.  While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.

A block with a weight of 9.0 N is at rest on a horizontal surface. A 1.2 N upward force is applied to the block by means of an a
lesya [120]

Answer:

a)   9 - 1.2 = 7.8 N

b) Since the force exerted by the box is it's weight, it acts in a downward direction. So the box will exert a force downward (perpendicular to the horizontal surface).

Explanation:

A 9N block would exert 9N of normal force on the horizontal plane under normal conditions. But in this case, we have a spring taking away some of the force by applying an upward force on the box.

So the force exerted by the box on the surface would now be:

a)   9 - 1.2 = 7.8 N

b) Since the force exerted by the box is it's weight, it acts in a downward direction. So the box will exert a force downward (perpendicular to the horizontal surface).

An old movie poster used a quote "in space no one can hear you scream!"which of these best explains this quote
soldi70 [24.7K]

I think the complete question is:

An old movie poster used a quote "In space, no one can hear you scream!" Which of these best explains the quote?

A) The quote is incorrect, you can hear sound in outer space.

B) Sound cannot be polarized. So, you cannot hear sound in space.

C) Sound is an electromagnetic wave and needs no medium to travel through.

D) Sound needs a medium for the wave to vibrate and there is nothing in space to vibrate.

Answer:

D) Sound needs a medium for the wave to vibrate and there is nothing in space to vibrate.

Explanation:

There are two types of waves:

  1. Mechanical Waves : These waves requires are medium to travel from one point of space to another point of space. Sound wave is one such example. Since they depend upon medium so speed of travelling also depend upon medium.
  2. Electromagnetic Waves :  These type of waves do not require a medium to travel. If medium exists then it will cause some hindrance in there path but still they will travel. For example: Light waves, X-Rays, Microwaves, Infrared waves, Ultraviolet waves etc.

In space no particle exists so no mechanical waves, such as sound, can travel through it but any electromagnetic wave can travel, such as light. That is why when astronauts are in space walk or when they are in outer space then they do not talk rather they use sign language to communicate

Two wires with the same resistance have the same diameter but different lengths. If wire 1 has length L 1 and wire 2 has length
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Length of wire 1=L_1

Length of wire 2=L_2

Resistivity of copper wire=\rho_1=1.7\times 10^{-5}\Omega-m

Resistivity of aluminum wire=\rho_2=2.82\times 10^{-5}\Omega-m

Wire 1=Copper wire

Wire 2=Aluminum wire

Diameter of both wires are same and resistance of both wires are also same.

We know that

Resistance =\frac{\rho l}{A}

When diameter of wires are same then their cross section area are also same .

l=\frac{RA}{\rho}

When resistance and area are same then the length of wire depend upon the resistivity of wire .

The length of wire is inversely proportional to resistivity.

When resistivity is greater then the length of wire will be short and when the resistivity  is small then the length of wire will be large.

\rho_1

Therefore, L_1>L_2

Hence, the length of wire 1 (copper wire) is greater than the length of wire 2 (aluminum).

\frac{L_1}{L_2}=\frac{\frac{RA}{1.7\times 10^{-5}}}{\frac{RA}{2.82\times 10^{-5}}}=1.66

L_1=1.66L_2
