Answer:

<em> 508Hz</em>

Explanation:

A tuning fork with a frequency of 512 Hz is used to tune a violin. When played together, beats are heard with a frequency of 4 Hz. The string on the violin is tightened and when played again, the beats have a frequency of 2 Hz. The original frequency of the violin was ______.

When two sound waves of different frequency approach your ear, the alternating constructive and destructive interference causes the sound to be alternatively soft and loud - this phenomenon is beat production

frequency is the number of oscillation a wave makes in one seconds.

f1-f2=beats

therefore f1=512Hz

f2=?

beats=4Hz

512Hz-f2=4Hz

f2=512-4

f2=508Hz

the original frequency of the violin is 508Hz

If 20 beats are produced within a single second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves tr
zhuklara [117]

The correct choice is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

In fact, the beat frequency is given by the difference between the frequencies of the two waves:

f_B = |f_1 -f_2|

In this problem, the beat frequency is f_B=20 Hz, therefore the only pair of frequencies that gives a difference equal to 20 Hz is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

The figure below shows two forces A=15 N and B=5 N acting on an object. What is the
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

18.03 N

Explanation:

From the fiqure below,

Using parallelogram law of vector

R² = 15²+5²-2×5×15cos(180-60)

R² = 225+25-150cos120°

R² = 250-150(-0.5)

R² = 250+75

R² = 325

R = √325

R = 18.03 N

Hence the resultant force of the object is 18.03 N

A stone is thrown at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal from the top edge of a cliff with an initial speed of 12 m/s. A
natta225 [31]

v = initial velocity of launch of the stone = 12 m/s

θ = angle of the velocity from the horizontal = 30

Consider the motion of the stone along the vertical direction taking upward direction as positive and down direction as negative.

v₀ = initial velocity along vertical direction = v Sinθ = 12 Sin30 = 6 m/s

a = acceleration of the stone = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 4.8 s

Y = vertical displacement of stone = vertical height of the cliff = ?

using the kinematics equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

inserting the values

Y = 6 (4.8) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (4.8)²

Y = - 84.1 m

hence the height of the cliff comes out to be 84.1 m

A car moving west slows down from a velocity of 50 m/s to 20 m/s in 15 seconds. What is its acceleration?
velikii [3]
Vf = Vo + at

Vf = 20 m/s
Vo = 50 m/s
a = ? 
t = 15

Therefore

20 = 50 + 15a

20 - 50 = 15a

-30 = 15a

a = -30 / 15

a = -2 m/s²
