(a) The lowest frequency (called fundamental frequency) of a wire stretched under a tension T is given by
f_1 =  \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L} }
where
L is the wire length
T is the tension
m is the wire mass

In our problem, L=10.9 m, m=55.8 g=0.0558 kg and T=253 N, therefore the fundamental frequency of the wire is
T= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L} }= \frac{1}{2 \cdot 10.9 m} \sqrt{ \frac{253 N}{0.0558 kg/10.9 m} }=    10.2 Hz

b) The frequency of the nth-harmonic for a standing wave in a wire is given by
f_n = n f_1
where n is the order of the harmonic and f1 is the fundamental frequency. If we use n=2, we find the second lowest frequency of the wire:
f_2 = 2 f_1 = 2 \cdot 10.2 Hz=20.4 Hz

c) Similarly, the third lowest frequency (third harmonic) is given by
f_3 = 3 f_1 = 3 \cdot 10.2 Hz = 30.6 Hz

A motorcycle has 100,000 J of kinetic energy and is traveling at 20 m/s. Find its mass.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 500 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{2KE}{ {v}^{2} }  \\

v is the velocity

KE is the kinetic energy

From the question we have

m =  \frac{2 \times 100000}{  {20}^{2}  }  =  \frac{200000 }{400} =   \frac{2000}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>500 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

As the plane falls the parabolic path remains directly below as the plane continues to fly over. This give more of an overview. When the package falls vertical acceleration happens as there is a vertical velocity as the package falls form high above. The downwards motion of gravity acts on the package if the approximated projectile motion ignoring air resistance.

50POINTS! Find the orbital speed of a satellite in a circular orbit 1700km above the surface of the Earth. M_earth 5.97e24kg, r_
ivolga24 [154]
<h2>Answer: 7020.117 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is<u> constant</u> and defined by the following expression:  

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}} (1)  

Where:  

G=6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}} is the gravity constant

M_{Earth}=5.97{10}^{24}kg the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting, in this case, the Earth .

R=r_{Earth}+h=8080000m the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).  

This means the radius of the orbit is equal to <u>the sum</u> of the average radius of the Earth r_{Earth} and the altitude of the satellite above the Earth's surface h.

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. It depends on the mass of the massive body (the Earth).

Now, rewriting equation (1) with the known values:

V=\sqrt{(6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}})\frac{5.97{10}^{24}kg}{8080000m}}

V=7020.117\frac{m}{s}
