Answer:

The  frequency is  f = 439.5 \  Hz        

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The frequency of the  tuning fork is  f_t  =  440 \ Hz

   The beat period is  T  =  2 \  s

Generally the beat frequency is mathematically represented as

       f_b  =  \frac{1}{T}

       f_b  =  \frac{1}{2}

      f_b  = 0.5 \  Hz

The  beat frequency is also represented mathematically as

     f_b  =  f_t  -  f

Where  f is the frequency of the piano

 So

       f =  440 -  0.5  

       f = 439.5 \  Hz

1. A baseball is thrown horizontally at 45 m/s. The ball slows down at a rate of 5 m/s?
meriva

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

initial velocity u = 45 m/s

acceleration a = - 5 m/s²

final velocity v = 0

v = u - at

0 = 45 - 5 t

t = 9 s

b )

s = ut - 1/2 at²

= 45 x 9 - .5 x5x 9²

405 - 202.5

202.5 m

2 )

a )

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

u = 0

s = 1/2 at²

= .5 x 9.54 x 6.5²

= 201.5 m

b )

v = u + at

= 0 + 9.54 x 6.5

= 62.01 m / s

3

a )

acceleration = (v - u) / t

= (34 - 42) / 2.4

= - 3.33 m /s²

b )

v² = u² - 2 a s

34² = 42² - 2 x 3.33² s

s = 27.41 m

c )

Average velocity

Total displacement / time

= 27.41 / 2.4

= 11.42 m /s

4 )

a )

v = u + at

v = 0 + 3 x 4

= 12 m /s

b )

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

= o + .5 x 3 x 4²

= 24 m

How can submarines use echolocation to tell how close they are to the bottom of the ocean?
Lapatulllka [165]
To locate a specific target or to determine how close submarines are to the seafloor, they use active and passive sound navigation and ranging (or a SONAR, in simple terms.) It emits pulses of sound waves that travel through the water, reflect off the target and relayed back to the ship. By determining how fast the sound wave travels back, the computers on the sub calculate how far they are from the target.

Hope this helps.

Galileo's observational contributionsGalileo Galilei was the first scientist to perform experiments in order to test his ideas.
ozzi
<h2>Answer: </h2><h2>- Jupiter has orbiting moons.</h2><h2>- The Sun has sunspots and rotates on its axis.</h2><h2>- The Moon has mountains, valleys, and craters.</h2><h2>- Venus goes through a full set of phases.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1609 Galileo built a telescope, with which he observed mountains and craters on the Moon, discovered Jupiter’s major satellites and the next year he published these discoveries in his book <em>The Sidereal Messenger</em>.

In addition, Galileo observed that Venus presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth. This is because <u>Venus presented its smaller size when it was in full phase and the largest size when it was in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.  </u>

<u />

On the other hand, <u>although Galileo was not the first to observe sunspots</u>, he gave the correct explanation of their existence, which supported the idea that planets revolve around the Sun.

These observations and discoveries were presented by Galileo to the Catholic Church (which supported the geocentric theory at that time) as a proof that completely refuted Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirmed Copernicus' heliocentric theory.
