A string fixed at both ends has a length of 1 m. With a frequency of 44 kHz (fourth overtone), standing waves are produced. Whic

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.

how do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate
professor190 [17]

While skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which pushes against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

What type of tide occurs on a full moon or a new moon?
DIA [1.3K]
Spring tides will occur during a full moon and an new moon. The sun and moon are on a certain angle causing these tides to be neap tides, they aren't high tide nor are they low tides so you would verbalize they are in between and that is why it is called neap tides as well.
