Determine the approximate force (N) used to pull a sled up a 400 m hill using 1900 J of work.

1 answer:

4 0

The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by
$W=Fd$
where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.

In our problem, the work done is $W=1900 J$ and the distance through which the force is applied is $d=400 m$ , so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
$F= \frac{W}{d}= \frac{1900 J}{400 m} = 4.75 N \sim 5 N$

What would you predict for this elephant's stride frequency? That is, how many steps per minute will the elephant take?

Sonja [21]

<span>` You can consider T to be in units of seconds/step. Frequency is the inverse of period, so
1/T = frequency and has units of steps per second. There will be 60 times as many steps in a minute.</span>

One string of a certain musical instrument is 70.0 cm long and has a mass of 8.79 g . It is being played in a room where the spe

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of linear mass density, and the expression of the wavelength with which we can find the frequency of the string. With these values it will be possible to find the voltage value. Later we will apply concepts related to harmonic waves in order to find the fundamental frequency.

The linear mass density is given as,

$\mu = \frac{m}{l}$

$\mu = \frac{8.79*10^{-3}}{70*10^{-2}}$

$\mu = 0.01255kg/m$

The expression for the wavelength of the standing wave for the second overtone is

$\lambda = \frac{2}{3} l$

Replacing we have

$\lambda = \frac{2}{3} (70*10^{-2})$

$\lambda = 0.466m$

The frequency of the sound wave is

$f_s = \frac{v}{\lambda_s}$

$f_s = \frac{344}{0.768}$

$f_s = 448Hz$

Now the velocity of the wave would be

$v = f_s \lambda$

$v = (448)(0.466)$

$v = 208.768m/s$

The expression that relates the velocity of the wave, tension on the string and linear mass density is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

$v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu}$

$T= \mu v^2$

$T = (0.01255kg/m)(208.768m/s)^2$

$T = 547N$

The tension in the string is 547N

PART B) The relation between the fundamental frequency and the $n^{th}$ harmonic frequency is

$f_n = nf_1$

Overtone is the resonant frequency above the fundamental frequency. The second overtone is the second resonant frequency after the fundamental frequency. Therefore

$n=3$
