When a piano tuner strikes both the A on the piano and a 440 Hz tuning fork, he hears a beat every 2 seconds. The frequency of t

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The frequency is $f = 439.5 \ Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequency of the tuning fork is $f_t = 440 \ Hz$

The beat period is $T = 2 \ s$

Generally the beat frequency is mathematically represented as

$f_b = \frac{1}{T}$

$f_b = \frac{1}{2}$

$f_b = 0.5 \ Hz$

The beat frequency is also represented mathematically as

$f_b = f_t - f$

Where $f$ is the frequency of the piano

$f = 440 - 0.5$

$f = 439.5 \ Hz$

Why doesn’t a machine that increases force break the law of conservation of energy?

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

A machine in which work input equals work output. energy can be used to do work, work can be used to transfer energy. The change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object.

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.
