Answer:

The speed of water ripples, v = 0.15 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Water ripples are produced by making a cork oscillate up and down at a frequency of 5 Hz, f = 5 Hz

The peaks of the ripples are 0.03 meters apart, $\lambda=0.03\ m$

We need to find the speed of the water ripples. The speed of water ripple is given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$v=5\ Hz\times 0.03$

v = 0.15 m/s

So, the speed of water ripples is 0.15 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Piano tuners tune pianos by listening to the beats between the harmonics of two different strings. When properly tuned, the note

Sophie [7]

(a) 2 Hz

The frequency of the nth-harmonic is given by

$f_n = n f_1$

where

$f_1$ is the fundamental frequency

Therefore, the frequency of the third harmonic of the A ( $f_1 = 440 Hz$ ) is

$f_3 = 3 \cdot f_1 = 3 \cdot 440 Hz =1320 Hz$

while the frequency of the second harmonic of the E ( $f_1 = 659 Hz$ ) is

$f_2 = 2 \cdot f_1 = 2 \cdot 659 Hz =1318 Hz$

So the frequency difference is

$\Delta f = 1320 Hz - 1318 Hz = 2 Hz$

(b) 2 Hz

The beat frequency between two harmonics of different frequencies f, f' is given by

$f_B = |f'-f|$

In this case, when the strings are properly tuned, we have

- Frequency of the 3rd harmonic of A-note: 1320 Hz

- Frequency of the 2nd harmonic of E-note: 1318 Hz

So, the beat frequency should be (if the strings are properly tuned)

$f_B = |1320 Hz - 1318 Hz|=2 Hz$

(c) 1324 Hz

The fundamental frequency on a string is proportional to the square root of the tension in the string:

$f_1 \propto \sqrt{T}$

this means that by tightening the string (increasing the tension), will increase the fundamental frequency also*, and therefore will increase also the frequency of the 2nd harmonic.

In this situation, the beat frequency is 4 Hz (four beats per second):

$f_B = 4 Hz$

And since the beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference between the 3rd harmonic of the A-note and the 2nd harmonic of the E-note,

$f_B = |f_3-f_2|$

and $f_3 = 1320 Hz$ , we have two possible solutions for $f_2$ :

$f_2 = f_3 - f_B = 1320 Hz - 4 Hz = 1316 Hz\\f_2 = f_3 + f_B = 1320 Hz + 4 Hz = 1324 Hz$

However, we said that increasing the tension will increase also the frequency of the harmonics (*), therefore the correct frequency in this case will be

1324 Hz

What potential difference is needed to give a helium nucleus (q=2e) 85.0 kev of kinetic energy?

Vilka [71]

The kinetic energy K given to the helium nucleus is equal to its potential energy, which is
$E=q \Delta V$
where q=2e is the charge of the helium nucleus, and $\Delta V$ is the potential difference applied to it.
Since we know the kinetic energy, we have
$E=K=85~keV=q \Delta V$
and from this we can find the potential difference:
$\Delta V = \frac{K}{q}= \frac{85~keV}{2e}=42.5~kV$
