Physics

Possibly something that interacts with the earth's magnetic field and produces the spectacular "Northern Lights", or "Aurora Borealis" if you prefer latin. Charged particles moving at relativistically high speeds, some of which may be from the sun via solar flares. I think that mu mesons are cosmic rays. First discovered by a scientist in a hot air balloon (he 'd gone up with instruments to detect them), and later used to verify the time dilation result of special relativity by MIT and the "mount washington experiment".

A guitarist finds that the pitch of one of her strings is slightly flat—the frequency is a bit too low. Should she increase or d
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The guitarist should increase the tension of the string.

Explanation:

The frequency of a vibrating string is determined by fn=(n/(2L))√T/μ. So if the tension in the string increased, the rate at which it vibrates (the frequency) will also increase.

Therefore it is advisable that she increase the tension of the string.

You are looking at yourself in a plane mirror, a distance of 3 meters from the mirror. your brain interprets what you are seeing
AleksandrR [38]

You are looking at yourself in a plane mirror, a distance of 3 meters from the mirror. your brain interprets what you are seeing in the mirror as being a person standing 6 meters from you.

<h3>Calculation</h3>

The plane mirror shows an exact replica of the real world. that means the distance of you from the mirror is the same distance as your reflection form the mirror at the opposite side of the mirror.

Thus, distance of image from the plane mirror is same as the distance of object (person) from the plane mirror but the image is formed behind the mirror.

Thereby we have v=u=3 m

Thus, distance between image and the person

is d = v + u = 3 + 3 = 6 m

Thus, the person is 6 meters away from the image.
