A music tuner uses a 550 Hz tuning fork to tune the frequency of a musical instrument. If the tuner hears a beat frequency of 2

Hz, what is the frequency of the instrument?
a) It must be 552 Hz
b) It must be 548 Hz
c) It could be either 552 Hz or 548 Hz
d) It is neither 552 Hz or 548 Hz

Answer:

c) It could be either 552 Hz or 548 Hz

Explanation:

In the phenomenon of beat we hear a series of high and low intensity sound in quick succession which dies down after some time . Number of high intensity sound that we hear per second is called beat frequency . Beat is generated when sound from two sources mix up or interfere with each other . It generates in the air region or pocket having low and high intensity sound. When this sound passes our ear we hear beats.

Beat frequency that is heard is equal to difference of frequency of sound that are interfering .

In the present case , tuning fork with frequency 550 and a music instruments are sounded together . Beat frequency heard is 2 Hz . So their frequency  difference  will be 2 . Hence the musical instrument may have frequency of 550+2 or 550 - 2 . or 552 or 448 Hz . Hence option c )

is correct

Explain why gases are more compressible than solid
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

If we put pressure on a solid or a liquid, there is essentially no change in volume. ... The kinetic-molecular theory explains why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

Why does a light go out when you turn off the wall switch?
Nadusha1986 [10]
A light goes out when you turn off the wall switch because <u />B. the switch causes a break in the circuit.
Since there is a break in the circuit, electricity cannot come through to the bulb, which is why there is no light anymore.

A purse at radius 2.30 m and a wallet at radius 3.45 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The acceleration of the wallet is 3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of purse r= 2.30 m

Radius of wallet r'= 3.45 m

Acceleration of the purse a=2\hat{i}+4.00\hat{j}

We need to calculate the acceleration of the wallet

Using formula of acceleration

a=r\omega^2

Both the purse and wallet have same angular velocity

\omega=\omega'

\sqrt{\dfrac{a}{r}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{a'}{r'}}

\dfrac{a}{r}=\dfrac{a'}{r'}

\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{r'}{r}

\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{3.45}{2.30}

\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{3}{2}

a'=\dfrac{3}{2}\times(2\hat{i}+4.00\hat{j})

a'=3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}

Hence, The acceleration of the wallet is 3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}

If a battery is running down, a light bulb in the circuit will become dimmer because when voltage drops
lana [24]
A. There is less current flowing through the bulb.

Ohms law dictates that Electrical voltage = current x resistance. To understand current you would divide voltage by resistance. The less voltage the less current will run through the circuit.

Mark as brainliest if satisfied.
