Suppose a piano tuner hears 2 beats per second when listening to the combined sound from her tuning fork and the piano note bein

g tuned. After slightly tightening the string, she hears 1 beat per second. Should she loosen or should she further tighten the string?

Answer:

further tightening is required.

Explanation:

The beat created / sec = difference of frequencies

Initial beat heard = 2

so difference of frequencies = 2

after tightening beat heard  = 1

difference  of frequencies decreases because frequency of tuning fork was higher than piano sound.

on further tightening  difference decreases because tightening increases the frequency  of piano hence   further  tightening is required for resonance.

A double-slit experiment is set up using red light (λ = 706 nm). A first order bright fringe is seen at a given location on a sc
Elanso [62]

Answer:

λ = 470.66 nm

Explanation:

for bright fringey_m = \frac{m\lambda D}{d}

D= distance between slit and screen

d= distance between the slits

for first order bright fringe m = 1,

        y_1 = \frac{1\lambda D}{d}

         y_1 = {706*D}{d}

for dark fringe,we have

y_m = {(m + 1/2)\lambda D}{d}    

Now to get the dark fringes at the same location we should have;

(706)D/d = (m + 1/2)λD/d    

put m = 1

(1 + 1/2)λ = (706)

λ = 470.66 nm

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic solid. It dissolves easily in water. Which property of water allows it to dissolve NaCl? Wate
marin [14]

Answer:

Water is a polar molecule

Explanation:

The general solubility rule is that like dissolves like. In short, polar solutes would dissolve in polar solvents. Non polar solutes also dissolves on non polar solvents.

NaCl is an ionic molecule which forms as a result of transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The transfer of electrons makes the atoms oppositely a charged ions and they become polar.

Water is made up of Hydrogen H⁺ ions and hydroxy ions OH⁻. Water is an heteronuclear covalent molecule. Here, there is an unequal sharing of electrons as one atom pulls the shared electron more closer. This leaves a partial negative charge on the more electronegative atom and a partial positive charge on the other.

This polar nature of water NaCl makes dissolution easy.

An object is dropped from rest from a 70.6 m tower. Air resistance is negligible. After 0.32 seconds, what is magnitude and dire
dem82 [27]

Answer:

<em>1,378.9ms²</em>

Explanation:

Given the following

Distance S = 70.6m

Time t = 0.32secs

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Required

Acceleration

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2at²

Substitute

70.6 = 0+1/2a(0.32)²

70.6 = 0.0512a

a = 70.6/0.0512

a = 1,378.9

<em>Hence the acceleration is 1,378.9ms²</em>

An apparatus like the one Cavendish used to find G has large lead balls that are 5.2 kg in mass and small ones that are 0.046 kg.
Ber [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of gravitational force between two masses is 4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first lead ball, m_1=5.2\ kg

Mass of the other lead ball, m_2=0.046\ kg

The center of a large ball is separated by 0.057 m from the center of a small ball, r = 0.057 m

We need to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the masses. It is given by the formula of the gravitational force. It is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{5.2\times 0.046}{(0.057)^2}\\\\F=4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N

So, the magnitude of gravitational force between two masses is 4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N. Hence, this is the required solution.
