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

If tides occur twice a day in most places. How much time is there between a morning high tide and the next high tide?
algol13

About 12 hours is the time between a morning high tide and the next high tide

Explanation:

The Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal bulges  

The “periodic rise and fall” of the surface water levels of the ocean is called tides. The gravitational action and interaction on the earth by the sun and the moon causes these tides. Different regions of the World experiences different patterns of tides like the diurnal, semi-diurnal etc.

When there is one high and one low tide occurring on a lunar day, then it is diurnal pattern. Semi-diurnal pattern occurs when there are two equal high and low tides on a single lunar day.

Since the Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal “bulges” on each lunar day, the coastal areas can experience two high and two low tides in every 24 hours plus 50 minutes.

Accordingly the time between two high tides would be 12 hours plus 25 minutes. Similarly, the time gap between a high to low tide would be 6 hours plus 12.5 minutes.

What factors affect the amount of potential and kinetic energy a roller coaster has
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

As the roller coaster goes higher, more potential energy is increased in the roller coaster. Caused by gravity and the roller coaster's position, the potential energy is stored in the roller coaster. For example, this ball is at the top of a hill, where potential energy is at it's highest. Potential energy can be calculated by Potential Energy=Mass X Acceleration X Height.
