Answer:\frac{g}{4}

Explanation:

Let m be the mass of Astronaut

M=mass of earth

G=Gravitational constant

R=radius of Earth

Force Exerted by Earth on Astronaut

F=\frac{GmM}{R^2}

acceleration due to gravity is =\frac{F}{m}=g

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

When it is at r=2R

g'=\frac{GM}{(2R)^2}

g'=\frac{GM}{4R^2}=\frac{g}{4}

Explain where most of the mass of an atom is located. Also, explain why some particles that make up the atom do not contribute m
Naddika [18.5K]
Within an atom, there are three elementary particles: the proton, neutron, and electron. Most of the mass of an atom is situated within the nucleus, which is the central part of the atom. It is made up of protons and neutrons, which are the heaviest subatomic particles. The electrons within the atom, orbit around the nucleus at a very far distance. Electrons are also a part of the lightest group of subatomic particles called leptons. That is why these electrons don't contribute much to the majority of an atoms mass. They are very light and they orbit at very far distances.

If the second harmonic of a certain string is 42 Hz, what is the fundamental frequency of the string?
sdas [7]
Data:
f_{2} = 42 Hz
n (Wave node)
V (Wave belly) 
L (Wave length)
<span>The number of bells is equal to the number of the harmonic emitted by the string.
</span>
f_{n} =  \frac{nV}{2L}

Wire 2 → 2º Harmonic → n = 2

f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}
f_{2} = \frac{2V}{2L} &#10;
2V =  f_{2} *2L
V =  \frac{ f_{2}*2L }{2}
V =  \frac{42*2L}{2}
V =  \frac{84L}{2}
V = 42L

Wire 1 → 1º Harmonic or Fundamental rope → n = 1


f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}
f_{1} = \frac{1V}{2L}
f_{1} =  \frac{V}{2L}

If, We have:
V = 42L
Soon:
f_{1} = \frac{V}{2L}
f_{1} = \frac{42L}{2L}
\boxed{f_{1} = 21 Hz}

Answer:

<span>The fundamental frequency of the string:
</span>21 Hz
