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 occurs when the pitch increases and the sound source is in motion? explain your answer.
Hoochie [10]
If you're listening to a sound that has a steady pitch, and suddenly the
pitch goes up, then you know that two things could have happened:

EITHER ...

-- The person or other source making the sound could have
raised the pitch of the sound being produced.

OR ...

-- The person or other source making the sound could have
started moving toward you.

OR ...

-- both.

Even if the pitch of the sound leaving the source doesn't change,
you would still hear it increase if the source starts moving toward
you.  That's the so-called "Doppler effect".

You drop a batitin a stationary elevator and the ball hits the floor in o 50 s. How long does it take for the ball to hit the fl
solmaris [256]

Answer:

option (a) 0.61 s

Explanation:

Given;

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground  = 0.50 s

Let us first calculate the distance through which the ball falls on the ground

from the Newton's equation of motion, we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,  

s is the distance

a is the acceleration

t is the time

here it is the case of free fall

thus, a = g = acceleration due to gravity

u =  initial speed of the ball = 0

on substituting the values, we get

s=0\times 0.50+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8\times0.50^2

or

s = 1.225 m

Now,

when the elevator is moving up with speed of 1.0 m/s

the initial speed of the ball = -1.0 m/s   (as the elevator is moving in upward direction)

thus , we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

or

1.225=-1.0\times\ t+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8t^2

or

4.9t^2 - t  - 1.225 = 0

or

t = 0.612 s

hence, the correct answer is option (a) 0.61 s

Please help me<br> the formula is E = P x t
Rainbow [258]

The battery doesn't 'use' power.  The battery <em>produces</em> the power that all the other electrical devices use.

If the starter motor is using 2,520 watts, then the battery is producing energy at the rate of 2,520 watts.  That means <em>2,520 Joules</em> of energy every second.

Thanks for giving us the formula.

E = P x t

Energy = Power x Time

Energy = (2,520 watts) x (1 second)

Energy = 2,520 Joules
