Traditional Indonesian music uses an ensemble called a gamelan that is based on tuned percussion instruments somewhat like gongs

. In Bali, the gongs are often grouped in pairs that are slightly out of tune with each other. When both are played at once, the beat frequency lends a distinctive vibrating quality to the music. Suppose a pair of gongs are tuned to produce notes at 151 Hz and 155 Hz. How many beats are heard if the gongs are struck together and both ring for 2.5 s?

Answer:

n = 10 beats

Explanation:

Given:

- Frequency of note f1 = 151 Hz

- Frequency of note f2 = 155 Hz

- The total time they ring t = 2.5 s

Find:

How many beats are heard

Solution:

- The frequency of beat (fb) is the difference between the two frequencies of notes as follows:

fb = f2 - f1

fb = 155 - 151

fb = 4 Hz

- The number of beats per second is also called beat frequency:

n = fb*t

n = 4*2.5

n = 10 beats

The position of a particle moving along the x-axis depends on the time according to the equation x = ct2 - bt3, where x is in me

Sav [38]

Answer:

(a): $\rm meter/ second^2.$

(b): $\rm meter/ second^3.$

(c): $\rm 2ct-3bt^2.$

(d): $\rm 2c-6bt.$

(e): $\rm t=\dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

Explanation:

Given, the position of the particle along the x axis is

$\rm x=ct^2-bt^3.$

The units of terms $\rm ct^2$ and $\rm bt^3$ should also be same as that of x, i.e., meters.

The unit of t is seconds.

(a):

Unit of $\rm ct^2=meter$

Therefore, unit of $\rm c= meter/ second^2.$

(b):

Unit of $\rm bt^3=meter$

Therefore, unit of $\rm b= meter/ second^3.$

(c):

The velocity v and the position x of a particle are related as

$\rm v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dx}(ct^2-bt^3)\\=2ct-3bt^2.$

(d):

The acceleration a and the velocity v of the particle is related as

$\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(2ct-3bt^2)\\=2c-6bt.$

(e):

The particle attains maximum x at, let's say, $\rm t_o$ , when the following two conditions are fulfilled:

$\rm \left (\dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0.$
$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}$

Applying both these conditions,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0\\2ct_o-3bt_o^2=0\\t_o(2c-3bt_o)=0\\t_o=0\ \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ 2c=3bt_o\Rightarrow t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

For $\rm t_o = 0$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6\cdot 0=2c$

Since, c is a positive constant therefore, for $\rm t_o = 0$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}>0$

Thus, particle does not reach its maximum value at $\rm t = 0\ s.$

For $\rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6b\cdot \dfrac{2c}{3b}=2c-4c=-2c.$

Here,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}$

Thus, the particle reach its maximum x value at time $\rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

A pendulum has 484 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o

mihalych1998 [28]

-- Energy is never created or destroyed.

-- No energy is added to the pendulum during its swing.

-- If we ignore air resistance and friction, then no energy is lost
from the pendulum during its swing.

-- Therefore the total energy of the pendulum must be constant.

-- Any potential energy lost at any point in the swing
must show up as kinetic energy. If it had 484J at the top,
then it'll have 484J at the bottom.

During a shock which lasts 10ms (0.01s), the voltage difference between the electrodes (so the drop in potential across all thre

natta225 [31]

Answer:

20000 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which energy is dissipated or used. The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

The expression of power is given as,

P = E/t.............................. Equation 1

Where P = power, E = Energy, t = time.

Given: E = 200 J, t = 0.01 s

Substitute into equation 1

P = 200/0.01

P = 20000 W.

Hence the average power = 20000 W

a transformer changes 95 v acorss the primary to 875 V acorss the secondary. If the primmary coil has 450 turns how many turns d

natita [175]

Answer:

The number of turns in the secondary coil is 4145 turns

Explanation:

Given;

the induced emf on the primary coil, $E_p$ = 95 V

the induced emf on the secondary coil, $E_s$ = 875 V

the number of turns in the primary coil, $N_p$ = 450 turns

the number of turns in the secondary coil, $N_s$ = ?

The number of turns in the secondary coil is calculated as;

$\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{E_p}{E_s}$

$N_s = \frac{N_pE_s}{E_p} \\\\N_s = \frac{450*875}{95} \\\\N_s = 4145 \ turns$

Therefore, the number of turns in the secondary coil is 4145 turns.
