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

Photosynthesis is the name given to the set of chemical reactions performed by plants to convert energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of sugar. Specifically, plants use energy from sunlight to react carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar (glucose) and oxygen. Many reactions occur, but the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis is:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
So it would be C, I hope this helped! :)

Calculate the heat energy released when 17.7 g of liquid mercury at 25.00 °c is converted to solid mercury at its melting point.
maria [59]

Answer;

Q = 359.2-J  

Explanation;

Given that;

Constants for mercury at 1 atm  

Heat capacity of Hg(l) is 28.0 J/(mol*K)  

melting point is 234.32 K  

Enthalpy of fusion is 2.29 kJ/mol

17.7-g Hg / 200.6g/mol = 0.0882 mol Hg;

°C + 273 = 298 K;

2.29-kJ/mol = 2290-J/mol  

Q = (m x ΔT x Cp) + (m x Hf)  

Q = 0.0882-mol x (298 - 234.32) x 28.0-J/mol*K) + (0.0882-mol x 2290-J/mol)  

Q = 157.26-J + 201.978-J  

Q = 359.2-J  

Q=359-J (3 sig fig allowed due to 17.7-g given in problem)

A sphere has surface area 1.25 m2, emissivity 1.0, and temperature 100.0°C. What is the rate at which it radiates heat into empt
Yuri [45]
The total power emitted by an object via radiation is:
P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4
where:
A is the surface of the object (in our problem, A=1.25 m^2
\epsilon is the emissivity of the object (in our problem, \epsilon=1)
\sigma = 5.67 \cdot 10^{-8} W/(m^2 K^4) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature of the object, which in our case is T=100^{\circ} C=373 K

Substituting these values, we find the power emitted by radiation:
P=(1.25 m^2)(1.0)(5.67 \cdot 10^{-8}W/(m^2K^4)})(373 K)^4=1371 W = 1.4 kW
So, the correct answer is D.

Why is it important to study solar flares?
andre [41]

In my opinion, solar flares are really cool to learn about because they are created by radiation from the sun and sun spots. Since solar flares happen in atmosphere, scientists learn about them and classify them in an interesting way. They do it by there strength so there are many different types. They are also many different colors you can find to. Hope this helped.
