Two violinists are trying to tune their instruments in an orchestra. One is producing the desired frequency of 440.0 hz. The oth

er is producing a frequency of 448.4 hz. By what percentage should the out-of-tune musician change the tension in his string to bring his instrument into tune at 440.0 hz?

Answer:

Percentage change in tension is 3.8%

Explanation:

We have given initially frequency f_1 = 440 Hz

Let tension in the string at this frequency is T_1

Now second frequency is f_2=448.4Hz

Frequency in string is given by

f=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

From the relation we can say that

\frac{f_1}{f_2}=\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}

\frac{440}{448.4}=\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}

{\frac{T_2}{T_1}}=1.038

Percentage change in tension is equal to

=\frac{T_2-T_1}{T_1}=\frac{T_2}{T_1}-1=(1.038-1)\times 100=3.8 %

So percentage change in tension is 3.8%

If the skater coasts only around 65 degrees of the circle, find the magnitude of his displacement vector.
baherus [9]
We are given a skater who coasts only around 65 degrees of the circle. The magnitude of the vector is determined by converting 65 degrees to radians:

65//180 = 0.36 radians

The displacement of the vector is 65 degrees east.

What force stops a car from sinking into the road surface?
mariarad [96]
I believe it's technically referred to as the Normal force.
However I like to think of it as the reaction force, as it is the force that is a result of obeying Newton's 3rd law ("<span>For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"). The upward force from the ground is the reaction to the downward force of gravity.</span>

Skater 1 has a mass of 45 kg and is at rest. Skater 2 has a mass of 50 kg and is moving slowly at a constant velocity of 3.2 m/s
algol13

Answer:

None

Explanation:

Force, F is given by ma where m is the mass of an object and a is acceleration

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity per unit time. Since skaters with mass of 75 kg and 50 kg are moving at a constant speed, there is no acceleration hence F=50*0=0 and F=75*0=0

For skater of 45 kg, he is at rest to mean the initial and final velocitu of the skater is zero hence no acceleration, the force will be 45*0=0

Therefore, none of the skaters will experience a greater net force.

How does the temperature of water affect the speed of the sound waves?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Temperature is also a condition that affects the speed of sound. Heat, like sound, is a form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly.
