NO musical instrument produces a 'pure' tone with only a
single frequency in it.

EVERY instrument produces more or less harmonics (multiples)
in addition to the basic frequency it's playing.

The percussion instruments (drums etc) are the richest producers
of bunches of different frequencies.

Fuzzy electric guitars are next richest.

The strings and brass instruments are moderate producers of
harmonics ... I can't remember which is greater than the other.

Then come the woodwinds ... clarinet, oboe, etc.

The closest to 'pure' tones of single frequency are the sounds
made by the flute and piccolo, but even these are far from 'pure'.

The only way to get a true single-frequency sound is from an
electronic 'sine wave' generator.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Straight line parallel to time axis.

Explanation:

The slope of the position time graph gives the velocity.

As the man is still, that means the velocity is zero. So, the slope of the graph is zero. It is a straight line parallel to time axis.

as you go above earths surface, the acceleration due to gravity will decrease. find the height, i meters, above the earths surfa
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

1.23×10⁸ m

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is:

a = GM / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant,

M is the mass of the planet,

and r is the distance from the center of the planet to the object.

When the object is on the surface of the Earth, a = g and r = R.

g = GM / R²

When the object is at height i above the surface, a = 1/410 g and r = i + R.

1/410 g = GM / (i + R)²

Divide the first equation by the second:

g / (1/410 g) = (GM / R²) / (GM / (i + R)²)

410 = (i + R)² / R²

410 R² = (i + R)²

410 R² = i² + 2iR + R²

0 = i² + 2iR − 409R²

Solve with quadratic formula:

i = [ -2R ± √((2R)² − 4(1)(-409R²)) ] / 2(1)

i = [ -2R ± √(1640R²) ] / 2

i = (-2R ± 2R√410) / 2

i = -R ± R√410

i = (-1 ± √410) R

Since i > 0:

i = (-1 + √410) R

R = 6.37×10⁶ m:

i ≈ 1.23×10⁸ m

A bicyclist of mass 112 kg rides in a circle at a speed of 8.9 m/s. If the radius of the circle is 15.5 m, what is the centripet
kogti [31]
The centripetal force, Fc, is calculated through the equation, 
                                    Fc = mv²/r
where m is the mass,v is the velocity, and r is the radius. 
Substituting the known values,
                                     Fc = (112 kg)(8.9 m/s)² / (15.5 m)
                                         = 572.36 N
Therefore, the centripetal force of the bicyclist is approximately 572.36 N.
