A tuning fork labeled 392 Hz has the tip of each of its two prongsvibrating with an amplitude of 0.600mma) What is the maximum s

peed of the tip of a prong?b) A housefly (musca domestica) with mass 0.0270 g isholding on to the tip of one of the prongs. As the prong vibrates,what is the fly's maximum kinetic energy? Assume that the fly'smass has a negligible effect on the frequency of oscillation?

a) 1.48 m/s

The tuning fork is moving by simple harmonic motion: so, the maximum speed of the tip of the prong is related to the frequency and the amplitude by

v_{max}=\omega A

where

v_{max} is the maximum speed

\omega is the angular frequency

A is the amplitude

For the tuning fork in the problem, we have

\omega=2\pi f=2 \pi(392 Hz)=2462 rad/s, where f is the frequency

A=0.600 mm=6\cdot 10^{-4} m is the amplitude

Therefore, the maximum speed is

v_{max}=(2462 rad/s)(6\cdot 10^{-4}m)=1.48 m/s

b)  3.0\cdot 10^{-5} J

The fly's maximum kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2

where

m=0.0270 g=2.7\cdot 10^{-5} kg is the mass of the fly

v_{max}=1.48 m/s is the maximum speed

Substituting into the equation, we find

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.7\cdot 10^{-5}kg)(1.48 m/s)^2=3.0\cdot 10^{-5} J

How are balanced and unbalanced forces related to motion?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Balanced forces do not result in any change in motion. forces: forces applied to an object in opposite directions that are not equal in size. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion.

Which statementsabout a neutral atom are correct? Check all that apply.
KIM [24]

Answer:

1, 2, 4, 5 are correct

Explanation:

1) This is true because In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).

2) This is true because the mass of the atom which is made up of the protons and neutrons, is located in the tiny nucleus.

3) This is not true because the positively charged particles in the nucleus are called protons.

4) This is true because electrons move around the nucleus in diffuse areas known as orbitals.

5) This is true because opposite charges attract each other. And electron is a negative charge.

6) This is not true because the radius of the electron cloud is normally 10,000 times larger than the radius of the nucleus.

Convert 1nanosecond in to its SI init
SOVA2 [1]

<em>Convert 1nanosecond in to its SI init</em>

<em>In SI units, nano is 1000th part of micro which in turn is 1000th part of mini which in turn is 1000th part of main unit. Now, when you affix nano to any unit, here in case, second, it means that you are referring to 1000th part of 1000th part of 1000th part of second or in short, 1000000000th(10^9) part of a second.</em>

If two stars are the same size and one is twice the temperature of the other, how much more luminous is the hotter one? quizlit
Dmitriy789 [7]
The hotter star will be 16 times more luminous  - luminosity depends on two things  - the size of the star and the temperature of the star. The hotter a star is, the more energy it will give out. This will give rise to greater luminosity.

What is the period (in hours) of a satellite circling Mars 100 km above the planet's surface? The mass of Mars is 6.42 × 1023 kg
scZoUnD [109]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Centrifugal Force and the Gravitational Force. Since there is balance on the body these two Forces will be equal, mathematically they can be expressed as

F_c = F_g

\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GmM}{r^2}

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of the Planet

r = Distance/Radius

Re-arrange to find the velocity we have,

v^2 = \frac{GM}{r}

At the same time we know that the period is equivalent in terms of the linear velocity to,

T = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{v}{r}}

v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

If our values are that the radius of mars is 3400 km and the distance above the planet is 100km more, i.e, 3500km we have,

v^2 = \frac{GM}{r}

( \frac{2\pi r}{T})^2 =  \frac{GM}{r}

T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GM}}

Replacing we have,

T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 (3500*10^3)^3}{(6.67430*10^{-11})(6.42*10^23)}}

T = 6285.09s (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{1hour}{60min})

T= 1.74hour

Therefore the correct answer is C.
