Answer:

v = 72.54 m/s

Explanation:

We have,

Length of a guitar string is 0.62 m

Frequency of a guitar string is 234 Hz

For guitar string,

$L=2\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{L}{2}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{0.62}{2}\\\\\lambda=0.31\ m$

The velocity of the wave in the string is given by :

$v=f\lambda\\\\v=234\times 0.31\\\\v=72.54\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the waves in the string is 72.54 m/s.

Imagine tying a string to a ball and twirling it around you. How is this similar to the moon orbiting the Earth? In this example

Tema [17]

Its similar to the moon orbiting the earth because lets say that the sing is moon and the ball is earth has the "moon" orbits around the "earth" the string ends up tying around the ball till its no more

i think i hope this example helps you somehow srry that i dont know more then that :/

A 66-foot-tall woman walks at 55 ft/s toward a street light that is 2424 ft above the ground. What is the rate of change of th

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

a. $\frac{dx}{dt}=20ft/s$

b. $\frac{d(x+L)}{dt}==25ft/s$

Explanation:

Using the triangle theorem both triangle the woman makes between the light so the rate of change of length can use geometry first

$tan(\beta)=\frac{24ft}{L+x}=\frac{6ft}{x}$

Solve to find the rate relation

$x=\frac{24}{6}*L$

$x=4*L$

Now the rate of the change rate

$\frac{dx}{dt}=4*\frac{dL}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt}=4*5ft/s=20ft/s$

Finally the rate of her shadow moving

$\frac{d(x+L)}{dt}=\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{dL}{dt}$

$\frac{d(x+L)}{dt}=20ft/s+5ft/s=25ft/s$

Answer:

Explanation:

graph would be a straight line from (0, 0) to (400, 8)

Plot points are

PE = mgh

50(0) = 0 J

50(2) = 100 J

50(4) = 200 J

50(6) = 300 J

50(8) = 400 J

You don't have any matches, so you want to focus sunlight to ignite a pile of twigs for a campfire. Which mirror would be best t

Anna35 [415]

Out of that list, the concave mirror is the only item that can concentrate sunlight and heat into a small area. But if you could get ahold of a convex lens, that would be even better.
