jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

f1 = 12.90 Hz

Explanation:

To calculate the first harmonic frequency you use the following formula for n = 1:

f_n=\frac{n}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{M/L}}

f_1=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{M/L}}    ( 1 )

It is necessary that the unist are in meters, then you have:

L: length of the string = 60cm = 0.6m

M: mass of the string = 0.05kg

T: tension on the string = 20 N

you replace the values of L, M and T in the expression (1) for getting f1:

f_1=\frac{1}{2(0.6m)}\sqrt{\frac{20N}{0.05kg/0.6m}}=12.90\ Hz

Hence, the first harmonic has a frequency of 12.90 Hz

An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. An astronaut lands on the rock to bury explosive charges that will blow the ast
forsale [732]

Answer:

The maximum radius the asteroid can have for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up is approximately 1782.45 meters

Explanation:

Whereby the height the astronaut can jump on Earth = 0.500 m, we have the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2·g·h

Where;

v = The final velocity

u = The initial velocity

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

h = The height she jumps

At the maximum height, h_{max} = 0.500 m, she jumps, v = 0, therefore, we have;

0² = u² - 2·g·h_{max}

u² = 2 × 9.8 × 0.5 = 9.8

u = √9.8 ≈ 3.13

u = 3.13 m/s

Her initial jumping velocity ≈ 3.13 m/s

Escape velocity, v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot M}{r} }

Where;

M = The mass of the asteroid

G = The Universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg·s²)

r = The radius of the asteroid

The average density of the Earth = 5515 kg/m³

The mass of the asteroid, M = Density × Volume = 5515 kg/m³× 4/3 × π × r³

The escape velocity, she has, v_e ≈ 3.13 m/s is therefore;

3.13 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times 6.67408 \times 10^{-11} \times 5515 \times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times r^3}{r} } = r \times \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}

r = \dfrac{3.13}{ \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}} \approx 1782.45

Therefore, the maximum radius of the asteroid can have for her jumping velocity to be equal to the escape velocity for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up = r ≈ 1782.45 meters.

Why is it important to study electromagnetic waves?
labwork [276]
The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.

An electron in the beam of a cathod-ray tube is accelerated by a potential difference of 2.12 kV . Then it passes through a regi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

Explanation:

To find the velocity first we put kinetic energy og electron is equal to potential energy of electron

K.E=P.E

\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}  =e*V

where :

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

V is the potential difference

v=\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} }    eq 1

Radius of electron moving in magnetic field is given by:

R=\frac{m*v}{q*B}       eq 2

where:

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

q=e=charge of electron

B is the magnitude of magnetic field

Put v from eq 1 into eq 2

R=\frac{m*\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} } }{e B}

B=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*V}{e*R^{2} } }

B=\sqrt{\frac{2*(9.31*10^{-31})*(2.12*10^{3})  }{(1.60*10^{-19})*(0.170)^{2}  } }

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

Which color is in the middle of the light spectrum?
Elanso [62]
Well, with the light spectrum there technically is no middle color. Both green and yellow meet up in the middle at 560 nm (wavelength interval) and 540 THz (frequency interval).
