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

A model airplane of mass 0.6 kg is attached to a horizontal string and flies in a horizontal circle of radius 6 m, making 1.6 re
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

speed= 12.15\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

In this question we have given

mass of airplane=.6 Kg

Radius of horizontal circle,r=6m

Time taken to complete 1.6 revolution=5s

Therefore time taken to complete 1 revolution, t=\frac{5}{1.6}

t=3.1 s

We have to find the speed of airplane

We will first find the distance covered by airplane in tracing one circle which is equal to circumference of circle

We know that

Circumference,d = 2 \pi \times r

or d=2\times 3.14 \times 6

d=37.68 m

We know that speed=\frac{d}{t}............(1)

Put value of d and t in equation 1

speed=\frac{37.68}{3.1}

speed= 12.15\frac{m}{s}

At what water depth will a deep-water wave with a wavelength of 40 meters begin to "feel bottom"? 5 meters 15 meters 20 meters 1
ella [17]
The answer is 20 meters would be the water depth started to feel bottom. This is half of the wavelength. The reason behind this is the wave travels half or the partial of the wavelength underneath the surface. For that reason that is where the wave would be starting to feel the ground.

Julian tests four springs and records the results in the table
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

list of spring in order of increasing spring constant is given by,

W, Y, X, Z

Explanation:

Spring W:

Magnitude of Force applied on the spring is given by,

F = k x

Where, F = force applied

k = spring constant

x displacement

k = F/x

k = 20 / 0.5

k = 40 N/m

Spring X:

Magnitude of Force applied on the spring is given by,

F = k x

Where, F = force applied

k = spring constant

x displacement

k = F/x

k = 60 / 0.3

k = 200 N/m

Spring Y:

Magnitude of Force applied on the spring is given by,

F = k x

Where, F = force applied

k = spring constant

x displacement

k = F/x

k = 40 / 0.4

k = 100 N/m

Spring Z:

Magnitude of Force applied on the spring is given by,

F = k x

Where, F = force applied

k = spring constant

x displacement

k = F/x

k = 50 / 0.1

k = 500 N/m

Thus, list of spring in order of increasing spring constant is given by,

W, Y, X, Z

Because the velocity of an object depends on 18. ___________________________ as well as 19. ___________________________, the vel
cluponka [151]

Answer:

18. Direction.

19. Speed.

20. Speed.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Because the velocity of an object depends on direction as well as speed, the velocity of an object can change even as the speed of the object remains constant. Thus, the velocity would change only when the direction or speed of the object changes.
