How does frequency and pitch affect sound

1 answer:

7 0

The word that musicians use for frequency is pitch. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the higher the pitch, of the sound. In other words, short waves sound high; long waves sound low.

A bike rider was moving to the right at a constant speed. Suddenly the wind then starts blowing against her with 3 N of force to

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

This question can be better understood when discussed using the Newton's first law of motion which states that an object would continue to move with a uniform speed (in a straight line) unless acted upon by an external force. What happens here (in the question) is that the bike rider would have continued moving at a constant speed (to the right) if not for the opposing force of the wind that acted against her (to the left). This wind/force would cause her speed to reduce or slow down (as posited by the law).

A "590-W" electric heater is designed to operate from 120-V lines.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

a) 24.4 Ω

b) 4.92 A

c) 495.9 W

c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.

Explanation:

The formula for power is:

P = IV

where,

P = Power of heater = 590 W

V = Voltage it takes = 120 V

I = Current Drawn = ?

Therefore,

590 W = (I)(120 V)

I = 590 W/120 V

I = 4.92 A

From Ohm's Law:

V = IR

R = V/I

Therefore,

R = 120 V/4.92 A

R = 24.4 Ω

For constant resistance and 110 V the power becomes:

P = V²/R

Therefore,

P = (110 V)²/24.4 Ω

P = 495.9 W

If the resistance decreases, it will increase the current according to Ohm's Law. As a result of increase in current the power shall increase according to formula (P = VI). Therefore, correct option is:

c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m$

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2$

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}$
