The frequency of the nth-harmonic of a standing wave is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of the string, according to:
f_n = nf_1 (1)
where f_1 is the fundamental frequency.

We know the frequency of the 4th overtone (44 kHz), which corresponds to the 5th harmonic (n=5). Therefore, we can find the fundamental frequency of the string by rearranging equation (1):
f_1 =  \frac{f_5}{5}= \frac{44 kHz}{5}=8.8 kHz

And by using the same formula we can find the following harmonics:
f_2 = 2 f_1 = 2 \cdot 8.8 kHz =17.6 kHz
f_3 = 3f_1 = 3 \cdot 8.8 kHz =26.4 kHz
f_4 = 4 f_1 = 4 \cdot 8.8 kHz =35.2 kHz

And since the audible range for human goes from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, we see that onlyt the first two harmonics (8.8 kHz and 17.6 kHz) will be audible to a human.

Inside most ball-point pens is a small spring that compresses as the pen is pressed against the paper. If a force of 0.1 N compr
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

20 N/m

Explanation:

From the question,

The ball-point pen obays hook's law.

From hook's law,

F = ke............................ Equation 1

Where F = Force, k = spring constant, e = compression.

Make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e........................ Equation 2

Given: F = 0.1 N, e = 0.005 m.

Substitute these values into equation 2

k = 0.1/0.005

k = 20 N/m.

Hence the spring constant of the tiny spring is 20 N/m

How long was a 60 W light bulb turned on if it used a total of 580 J of energy?
icang [17]
Here's the tool you need.  You can't answer the question without this:

           "1 watt"
means
           "1 joule of energy, generated, used, or moved, every second".

So      60 watts  =  60 joules per second

           Total energy generated,
            used, or moved                  = (power) x (time).

                                     580 joules  =  (60 watts) x (time)

Divide each side
by  (60 watts):              Time  =  (580 joules) / (60 joules/sec) 

                                               =  (9 and 2/3)  seconds  .

How do I remember the Mohs hardness scale?
yanalaym [24]
It's a hardness scale from 1-10 determining how easy or hard it is to scratch the mineral.

Remember that talc (like chalk or baby powder) is the softest and easiest to scratch then diamond being 10 is the hardest mineral to scratch or break or cut

For Mass

K.E = (1/2*mv^2)

Explanation:

Kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

A bobsled has a momentum of 3000 kg•m/s to the east. After the rider gives it a push, its momentum increases to 5500 kg•m/s to t
Archy [21]
Impulse, denoted as J, is defined by the change in momentum. Since we have our initial and our final, we can solve for the change in momentum.

J = p_{f} - p_{0} = 5500 - 3000 = 2500

J = 2500 kg*m/s
