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.

When you lift an object, you add the energy of lifting to the object.<br> Tor F
PtichkaEL [24]

It's true, when we lift an object we add energy to it.

because, when we lift an object by applying force , the object attains a height and hence the energy gets stored in it, in the form gravitational potential energy .

You can comfortably hold your fingers close beside a candle flame, but not very close above the flame. why? challenge (optional)
Inessa05 [86]
The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The automated system that uses an automated work cell controlled by electronic signals from a common centralized computer facility is "Robotics"

Explanation:

Robotics is an advanced technology fully automated which uses electronic sensors incorporated with the combination of control into mechanical systems greatly enhancing the performance and flexibility of the systems. This is possible with the advances in hardware, software, and control programming systems which amounts to extensive automation from a common centralized computer facility.
