A string with a mass density of 3 * 10^-3 kg/m is under a tension of 380 N and is fixed at both ends. One of its resonance frequ
Delvig [45]

Answer:

(a) the fundamental frequency of this string is 65 Hz

(b) the harmonics of the given frequencies are third and fourth respectively.

(c) the length of the string is 2.74 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass density of the string, μ = 3 x 10⁻³ kg/m

tension of the string, T = 380 N

resonating frequencies, 195 Hz and 260 N

For the given resonant frequencies;

195 = \frac{n}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } ---(1)\\\\260 = \frac{n+1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } ---(2)\\\\divide \ (2) \ by (1)\\\\\frac{260}{195} = \frac{n+1 }{n} \\\\260n = 195(n+1)\\\\260 n = 195 n + 195\\\\260n - 195n = 195\\\\65n = 195\\\\n = \frac{195}{65} \\\\n = 3

(c) From any of the equations, solve for Length of the string (L);

195 = \frac{n}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\195 = \frac{3}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3}} } \\\\l = \frac{3}{2\times 195}\sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3}} }\\\\l = 2.74 \ m

(a) the fundamental frequency is calculated as;

f_o = \frac{1}{2l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\f_o = \frac{1}{2\times 2.74} \sqrt{\frac{380}{3\times 10^{-3} } }\\\\f_o =  65 \ Hz

(b) harmonics of the given frequencies;

the first harmonic (n = 1) = f₀ = 65 Hz

the second harmonic (n = 2) = 2f₀ = 130 Hz

the third harmonic (n = 3) = 3f₀ = 195 Hz

the fourth harmonic (n = 4) = 4f₀ = 260 Hz

Thus, the harmonics of the given frequencies are third and fourth respectively.

An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.
PtichkaEL [24]

Complete question is;

An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.

The results are shown in the image attached.

What figure is missing from the table?

Answer:

17.3 cm

Explanation:

The image attached showed values for load, extension and initial length.

Now, the first length there is 15.2 cm and as such it's corresponding extension is 0 because it has no preceding measured length.

The second measured length is 16.2 cm. Since it's initial measured length is 15.2 cm, then the extension has a formula; final length - initial length.

This gives: 16.2 - 15.2 = 1 cm

This corresponds to what is given in the table.

For the next measured length, it is blank but we are given the extension to be 2.1 cm. Now, since the initial measured length is 15.2 cm.

Thus;

2.1 cm = Final length - 15.2 cm

Final length = 15.2 + 2.1

Final length = 17.3 cm

Noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they ___ chemically stable with 8 valence electrons
azamat

Answer : Noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.

Explanation :

Noble gases are the chemical elements that are present in group 18 in the periodic table.

The elements are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.

They are chemically most stable except helium due to having the maximum number of 8 valence electrons can hold their outermost shell that means they have a complete octet.

They are rarely reacts with other elements to form compounds by gaining or losing electrons since they are already chemically stable.

Hence, the noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.
