If the frequencies of two component waves are 24 Hz and 20 Hz, they should produce _______ beats per second.

2 answers:

8 0

This can be answered using the beat frequency formula, which is simply the difference between 2 frequencies.

Let: <span>fᵇ = beat frequency
</span>f₁ = first frequency
f₂ = second frequency

fᵇ = |f₁ - f₂|

substituting the values:
fᵇ = |24Hz - 20Hz|
fᵇ = 4Hz

The unit Hz also means beats per second, therefore:
<span>fᵇ = 4 beats per second
</span>
Therefore, the answer is C. 4

A sample of oxygen gas at 25.0Â°c has its pressure tripled while its volume is halved. What is the final temperature of the gas?

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

447 K

Explanation:

25 C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Assuming ideal gas, we can apply the ideal gas law

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$T_2 = T_1\frac{P_2}{P_1}\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

Since pressure is tripled, then $P_2 / P_1 = 3$ . Volume is halved, then $V_2 / V_1 = 0.5$

$T_2 = 298*3*0.5 = 447 K$

Two identical tiny spheres of mass m =2g and charge q hang from a non-conducting strings, each of length L = 10cm. At equilibriu

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

0.247 μC

Explanation:

As both sphere will be at the same level at wquilibrium, the direction of the electric force will be on the x axis. As you can see in the picture below, the x component of the tension of the string of any of the spheres should be equal to the electric force of repulsion. And its y component will be equal to the weight of one sphere. We can use trigonometry to find the components of the tensions:

$F_y: T_y - W = 0\\T_y = m*g = 0.002 kg *9.81m/s^2 = 0.01962 N$
