Suppose you pluck a string on a guitar and it produces the note A at a frequency of 440 Hz. Now you press your finger down on th

e string against one of the frets, making this point the new end of the string. The newly shortened string has 4/5 the length of the full string. When you pluck the string, its frequency will be
A. 350 Hz
B. 440 Hz
C. 490 Hz
D. 550 Hz

Answer:

D. 550 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency for string is given by

f_{} =\frac{v}{2L}

where v is the speed of the wave, L = m is the length

Frequency is inversely proportional to the Length of the string

f \alpha \frac{1}{L} \\

from above relation we can write

\frac{f_{1}}{f_{2}} =\frac{L_{2}}{L_{1}}

The newly shortened string has 4/5 the length of the full string .i,e

\frac{440}{f_{2}} =\frac{\frac{4}{5}L_{1} }{L_{1}}\\f_{2}=\frac{440\times5}{4} \\f_{2}=550 Hz

Hence option D is correct

You know your mass is 62 kg but when you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator it says your mass is 77 kg what is the acceler
lbvjy [14]
In a stationary situation, the weight of person is
W=mg=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 608.2 N
This is the weight "felt" by the scale, which is basically the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which uses the value of g (9.81) as reference to convert the weight (602.8 N) into a mass (62 kg).

When the person is in the elevator, the scale says 77 kg. The scale is still using the same value of conversion (9.81), so the apparent weight "felt" by the scale is
W' = m'g=(77 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=755.4 N
This is the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which is directed upward. Besides this force, there is still the weight W of the person, acting downward. So, if we use Newton's second law:
\sum F = ma
W-W'=ma
where a is the acceleration of the elevator. If we solve for a, we find
a= \frac{W-W'}{m}= \frac{608.2N-755.4N}{62 kg}=-2.37 m/s^2
The negative sign means the acceleration is in the opposite direction of g (which we take positive), so it means the elevator is going upward.

what are the variables in an experiment that tests the distance honey flows at different temperatures? identify the independent
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The distance that the honey flowed would be the dependent or outcome variable and the temperature of the honey would be the independent variable.

The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment. You can remember it by thinking “it depends on what you’re changing.”

The independent variable in an experiment is what is being changed. You can remember this by thinking “the Independent variable is what I as the scientist change.”

After an incandescent lamp is turned on, the temperature of its filament rapidly increases from room temperature to its operatin
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: (1) The resistance increases and the current decreases.

Explanation:  

When the temperature of the filament increases, the vibrational energy of the constituent atoms increases which leads to increase in inter-atomic collision. Thus, the resistance would increase. The increases in resistance would obstruct the flow of charges more leading to decrease in the value of the current.

Hence, when the temperature of the filament increase, the resistance increases and current decreases.
