Biologists think that some spiders "tune" strands of their web to give enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to those a

t which desirable prey might struggle. Orb spider web silk has a typical diameter of 20μm, and spider silk has a density of 1300 kg/m^3. To have a fundamental frequency at 150Hz , to what tension must a spider adjust a 14cm -long strand of silk?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

diameter d=20 \mu m

density \rho =1300 kg/m^3

frequency \nu =150 Hz

Length of silk strand L=14 cm

Velocity in the string is as follows

\nu =\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

The expression for Fundamental Frequency

f=\frac{\nu }{2l}

f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{m}{l}}}

f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{Tl}{\rho V}}

Squaring

f^2=\frac{1}{4l^2}\times \frac{Tl}{\rho V}

T=4\rho \cdot A\cdot l^2\cdot f^2

T=4\times 1300\times \frac{\pi }{4}(20\times 10^{-6})^2\times (0.14)^2\times 150^2

T=7.2\times 10^{-4} N

Answer:

the final energy of the system is 35.5 kJ.

Explanation:

Given;

initial energy of the system, E₁ = 10 kJ

heat transferred to the system, q₁  30 kJ

Heat lost to the surrounding, q₂ = 5kJ

heat gained by the system, Q = q₁ - q₂ = 30 kJ - 5kJ = 25 kJ

work done on the system, W = 500 J = 0.5 kJ

Apply first law of thermodynamic,

ΔU = Q + W

where;

ΔU  is change in internal energy

Q is the heat gained by the system

W is work done on the system

ΔU = 25kJ + 0.5 kJ

ΔU = 25.5 kJ

The final energy of the system is calculated as;

E₂ = E₁ + ΔU

E₂ = 10 kJ + 25.5 kJ

E₂ =  35.5 kJ.

Therefore, the final energy of the system is 35.5 kJ.

finlep [7]

Answer:

The man's total displacement is equal to 0.

Explanation:

Given that,

A man ran a 5 mile race. The race looped around a city park and back  to the starting line.

We need to find the total displacement of the man.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

Also,

Displacement = final position - initial position

As it reaches back to its starting line, it means, the displacement is equal to 0.

Hence, the man's total displacement is equal to 0.
