A standing wave is created on a string of length 1.2 m. If the speed of the wave on the string is 60.0 m/s, what is the fundamen

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Fundamental frequency in the string will be 25 Hz

Explanation:

We have given length of the string L = 1.2 m

Speed of the wave on the string v = 60 m/sec

We have to find the fundamental frequency

Fundamental frequency in the string is equal to $f=\frac{v}{2L}$ , here v is velocity on the string and L is the length of the string

So frequency will be equal to $f=\frac{v}{2L}=\frac{60}{2\times 1.2}=25Hz$

So fundamental frequency will be 25 Hz

An elaborate pulley consists of four identical balls at the ends of spokes extending out from a rotating drum. A box is connecte

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

its speed will be less than V

Explanation:

When the ball falls a distance d, its final kinetic energy plus rotational kinetic energy of the drum equals its initial potential energy.

K = U

With its speed V at the end of d, we have

1/2mV² + 1/2Iω² = mgd where I = rotational inertia of drum and balls, ω = angular speed of drum and balls and m = mass of box

1/2mV² + 1/2Iω² = mgd

1/2mV² = mgd - 1/2Iω²

V² = [2(mgd - 1/2Iω²)/m]

V = √[2(mgd - 1/2Iω²)/m]

When the four balls are moved inward closer to the drum, their rotational inertia increases and also its angular speed which thus causes an increase in rotational kinetic energy. But, since the box still falls the same distance of d, its final kinetic energy plus rotational kinetic energy of the drum plus balls still equals its initial potential energy

K = U

I' = new rotational inertia of drum and balls, ω' = new angular speed of drum and balls

With its new speed is now V' at the end of d,

1/2mV'² + 1/2I'ω'² = mgd

1/2mV'² = mgd - 1/2I'ω'²

V² = [2(mgd - 1/2I'ω'²)/m]

V' = √[2(mgd - 1/2I'ω'²)/m]

Since I' and ω' increase, the rotational kinetic energy of the drum and balls (1/2I'ω'²) increases. Thus, the difference (mgd - 1/2I'ω'²) < (mgd - 1/2Iω²) which implies that the kinetic energy of the box decreases. Hence, since its kinetic energy decreases, its speed V' also decreases.

So, V' < V

So, its speed will be less than V.

monitta

Answer:

The correct answer is - option A. The mashed potatoes will transfer heat into the gravy.

Explanation:

In this case, where Yamel heats the mashed potatoes but forgets to heat the gravy and put the cold gravy on the hot mashed potatoes. Heat always transfers from the high-temperature object to the low-temperature object. So the hot mashed potatoes will transfer the heat to the gravy according to option A. Cold is not a form of heat but the condition of absence of heat or very low temperature.

Thus, the correct answer is - option A. The mashed potatoes will transfer heat into the gravy.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

specific purpose statement

Explanation:

It is a specific purpose statement made for a persuasive speech on the question of fact.

A specific purpose statement helps to build on the general purpose (that is to inform) and to make it more specific to the audience. So if the first speech is an informative speech, our general purpose is to inform our audience about a very specific realm of knowledge.

A specific purpose statement is given to audience to persuade on specific information.
