A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz

f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz

Contact [7]

Answer:

d = 3.5*10^4 m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the displacement of the airplane you need only the information about the initial position and final position of the airplane. THe initial position is at the origin (0,0,0) and the final position is given by the following vector:

\vec{r}=(1.21*10^3\hat{i}+3.45*10^4\hat{j})m

The displacement of the airplane is obtained by using the general form of the Pythagoras theorem:

d=\sqrt{(x-x_o)^2+(y-y_o)^2}   (1)

where x any are the coordinates of the final position of the airplane and xo and yo the coordinates of the initial position. You replace the values of all variables in the equation (1):

d=\sqrt{(1.12*10^3-0)^2+(3.45*10^4-0)^2}=3.45*10^4m

hence, the displacement of the airplane is 3.45*10^4 m

An astronaut is moving in space when a big explosion occurs about 50 meters behind him. How will the astronaut come to know abou
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.  

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}

Explanation:

The acceleration of a circular motion is given by

a = \omega^2 R

where \omega is the angular velocity and R is the radius.

Angular velocity is related to the period, T, by

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

Substitute into the previous formula.

a = (\dfrac{2\pi}{T})^2 R

a = \dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}

This acceleration does not depend on the linear or angular displacement. Hence, the amount of rotation does not change it.
