Two piano strings are supposed to be vibrating at 220 Hz, but a piano tuner hears three beats every 2.5 s when they are played t

ogether.
(a) If one is vibrating at 220.0 Hz, what must be the frequency of the other (is there only one answer)?
(b) By how much (in percent) must the tension be increased or decreased to bring them in tune?

Answer:

a) 218.8 Hz or 221.2 Hz

b) Increased by 1.087% or decreased by 0.11%

Explanation:

Number of beats = 3

Time = 2.5 s

Frequency of beat = F_1=\frac{3}{2.5}=1.2\ Hz

a) If one string is vibrating at 220 Hz, then

F_1-F_2=220-1.2=218.8 Hz

                                        or

F_1+F_2=220+1.2=221.2 Hz

So, the other string is vibrating at 218.8 Hz or221.2 Hz

b) If frequency is 218.8 Hz

\frac{F_2}{F_1}=\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_2^2}{F_1^2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{218.8^2}{220^2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{T_1}{T_2}=0.9891

T, tension must be increased by = 1-0.9891 = 0.0108 = 1.087 %

T, tension must be increased by 1.087%

If frequency is 221.2 Hz

\frac{221.2^2}{220^2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{T_1}{T_2}=1.011

T, tension must be increased by = 1-1.011 = -0.011 = -0.11 %

T, tension must be decreased by 0.11%

Compare and contrast electric potential energy and electric potential difference? Explain.
forsale [732]

Answer:

<u><em>Electric Potential Energy:</em></u>

The energy that is needed to move a charge against an electric firld is called Electric Potential Energy

<u><em>Electric Potential Difference:</em></u>

The amount of work done in carrying a unit charge from one point to an other in an electric field is called Electric Potential Difference.

<u><em>Relation:</em></u>

Relation between Electric potential and electrical potential energy is given by

\delta V=\frac{PE}{q}

Here PE represents Electric potential energy

and \delta V is Electric potential difference

it means electric potential difference is the difference in electric potential energy divided by the charge.

4. A high school athlete runs 400 m in 52.20 sec. What is his speed in mph?<br> 14100<br> 1110
Serggg [28]

Answer:

28,800m/p second

Explanation:

Calculate the distance per second so, 400m/50 s= 8m/p second now knowing the speed/hour and knowing an hour has 3,600 seconds,multiply it by 8 then you will get 28,800m/p second, or 28.8km/h

what is the maximum distance we can shoot a dart,from ground level provided our toy dart gun gives a maximum initial velocity of
mestny [16]

Answer:

R = v^2 sin 2 theta / g

The range provides the distance a projectile can travel

R(max) = v^2 / g    if theta = 45 deg

R = 2.7^2 / 9.8 = .74 m
