Assume the population of a large city like New York City is about 4 × 10^6 people, with about 1.97 people per household. Approxi

mately 1 household in 16.1 has a piano. The piano keyboard has about 64 notes (8 octaves) with about 2 strings per note. A piano should be tuned once per year (365.25 days). A piano tuner can tune about 3 pianos per day. And, finally, pianos tuners work 250 days per year. How many pianos tuners are there in New York City?

So here are the given information:

4 x 10^6 people 

1.97 people = 1 household 

16.1 households = 1 piano 


1 piano = 1 tuning/year 

1 tuner = 3 tunings/working day 

<span>1 year = 250  working days </span>


Multiplying everything: 

4 x 10^6 people x (1 household/1.97 people) x (1 piano/16.1 households) = 126115.33 pianos in NYC 

126115.33 pianos x (1 (tuning/year)/1 piano) x (1 year/250 working days) x (1 working day/3 pianos/tuner) = 168.15 tuners 


<span>Therefore about 168 piano tuners in NYC.</span>

A 20-kg block slides down a fixed rough curved track The block has a speed of 5 0 m/s after its height above a horizontal surfac
Crank

Answer:

U = 102.8 J (100 J to two significant digits)

Explanation:

potential energy converted = 20(9.8)(1.8) = 352.8 J

kinetic energy at base of track = ½(20)5.0² = 250 J

energy (work) of friction 352.8 - 250 = 102.8 J

What is the acceleration of a 10kg pushed by a 5n force
Semenov [28]
Force equals mass times acceleration. Or:
F=ma
Plug it in:
5=10a
5/10=(10a)/10
.5m/s²=a

The work function for tungsten metal is 4.52eV a. What is the cutoff (threshold) wavelength for tungsten? b. What is the maximum
Tanya [424]

Answer: a) 274.34 nm; b) 1.74 eV c) 1.74 V

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the energy balance for the photoelectric effect on tungsten:

h*ν = Ek+W ; where h is the Planck constant, ek the kinetic energy of electrons and W the work funcion of the metal catode.

In order to calculate the cutoff wavelength we have to consider that Ek=0

in this case  h*ν=W

(h*c)/λ=4.52 eV

λ= (h*c)/4.52 eV

λ= (1240 eV*nm)/(4.52 eV)=274.34 nm

From this h*ν = Ek+W;  we can calculate the kinetic energy for a radiation wavelength of 198 nm

then we have

(h*c)/(λ)-W= Ek

Ek=(1240 eV*nm)/(198 nm)-4.52 eV=1.74 eV

Finally, if we want to stop these electrons we have to applied a stop potental equal to 1.74 V . At this potential the photo-current drop to zero. This potential is lower to the catode, so this  acts to slow down the ejected electrons from the catode.
