Answer:

A) 15.0 years

Explanation:

Due to the distance to the star system is in light-year units, we can compute the time by using:

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{14.4 l-y}{0.960}=15l-y

then, Rob will take to complete the trip about 15 light-years.

hope this helps!!

Two strings are adjusted to vibrate at exactly 202 Hz. Then the tension in one string isincreased slightly. Afterward, three bea
Semenov [28]

The concepts necessary to solve this problem are framed in the expression of string vibration frequency as well as the expression of the number of beats per second conditioned at two frequencies.

Mathematically, the frequency of the vibration of a string can be expressed as

f = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Where,

L = Vibrating length string

T = Tension in the string

\mu = Linear mass density

At the same time we have the expression for the number of beats described as

n = |f_1-f_2|

Where

f_1 = First frequency

f_2 = Second frequency

From the previously given data we can directly observe that the frequency is directly proportional to the root of the mechanical Tension:

f \propto \sqrt{T}

If we analyze carefully we can realize that when there is an increase in the frequency ratio on the tight string it increases. Therefore, the beats will be constituted under two waves; one from the first string and the second as a residue of the tight wave, as well

n = f_2-f_1

f_2 = n+f_1

Replacing 3/sfor n and 202Hz for f_1,

f_2 = 3/s + 202Hz

f_2 = 3/s(\frac{1Hz}{1/s})+202Hz

f_2 = 206Hz

The frequency of the tightened is 205Hz
