Musicians can use beats to tune their instruments. One flute is properly tuned and plays the musical note A at exactly 440 Hz. A

second player sounds the same note and hears that her instrument is slightly "flat" (that is, at too low a frequency). Playing at the same time as the first flute, she hears one loud-soft-loud beat per second. What is the frequency of her instrument?

Answer:

439 Hz

Explanation:

f_1 = Frequency of first wave = 440 Hz

F = Beat frequency = 1 Hz

f_2 = Frequency of the instrument

The beat frequency is the difference of the two waves which are interacting with each other

F=f_1-f_2\\\Rightarrow 1=440-f_2\\\Rightarrow f_2=440-1\\\Rightarrow f_2=439\ Hz

The frequency of the instrument is 439 Hz

What is the magnification of an astronomical telescope whose objective lens has a focal length of 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

Explanation:

The expression for the magnification of an astronomical telescope is as follows;

M=-\frac{f_o}{f_e}

Here, M is the magnification of an astronomical telescope, f_e is the focal length of the eyepiece lens and f_o is the focal length of the objective lens.

It is given in the problem that an astronomical telescope having a focal length of objective lens 74 cm and whose eyepiece has a focal length of 2.4 cm.

Put f_o=74 cm and f_e=2.4 cm in the above expression.

M=-\frac{74}{2.4}

M=-30.83

Therefore, the magnification of an astronomical telescope is -30.83.

A student standing on a knoll throws a snowball horizontally 4.5 meters above the level ground toward a smokestack 15 meters awa
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

y_{o} = initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m

t = time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s

v_{oy} = initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction

a_{y} = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

y = position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack

Using the kinematics equation

y = y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}

inserting the above values

y = 4.5 + (0) (0.65) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (0.65)^{2} \\y = 2.4 m

a 74.9 kg person sits at rest on an icy pond holding a physics book. he throws the physics book west at 8.25 m/s and he recoils
kifflom [539]

Answer:

1.95 kg

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

0 = (74.9) (-0.215) + m (8.25)

m = 1.95

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

0.0312J

Explanation:

Let x be the distance the staple moves:

x=0.150m-0.115m=0.035m

And spring constant is k=51.0N/m

PE=0.5kx^2\\=0.5\times 51.0\times 0.035^2\\\\=0.312

Hence, the potential energy is 0.0312J

Which statement best explains the relationship between the electric force between two charged objects and the distance between t
spin [16.1K]
Unfortunately, the given statements are missing from the problem. However, we can still determine the relationship between the electric force between two objects and the distance between them. The formula for the electric force is given below:

F = (k*Q1*Q2)/d^2

k is a constant, while Q1 and Q2 are the respective charges of the objects. F is force, while d is distance.

As seen in the formula, we can see that the electric force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.
