Answer:

The unknown frequency is either 438 Hz or 442 Hz.

Explanation:

The frequency of a beat heard when two sounds with frequencies f₁ and f₂, are played simultaneously, is simply the difference between two frequencies.

b = |f₁ - f₂|

b = 2 Hz

f₁ = 440 Hz

f₂ = ?

440 - f₂ = 2 or 440 - f₂ = -2

f₂ = 438 Hz or 442 Hz

The unknown frequency is either 438 Hz or 442 Hz.

Hope this Helps!!!

If a moving car speeds up until it is going twice as fast, how much kinetic energy doe s it have compared with its initial kinet
dezoksy [38]
The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and velocity v is given by
K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Let's call v_i the initial speed of the car, so that its initial kinetic energy is
K_i =  \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2
where m is the mass of the car. 

The problem says that the car speeds up until its velocity is twice the original one, so 
v_f = 2 v_i
and by using the new velocity we can calculate the final kinetic energy of the car
K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv_f^2 =  \frac{1}{2}m (2 v_i)^2 = 4 ( \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2)=4 K_i
so, if the velocity of the car is doubled, the new kinetic energy is 4 times the initial kinetic energy.

If a suspended object A is attracted to a charged object B, can we conclude that A is charged?
spayn [35]
Not necessarily, object A could also be neutral, and becoming a dipole due to object B's charge. A charged object can induce a dipole in a neutral object, and that object would then become attracted without being charged.
