What is a locus of points

Physics
2 answers:
svetlana [45]3 years ago

A locus is the set of all points (usually forming a curve or surface) satisfying some condition. For example, the locus of points in the plane equidistant from a given point is a circle, and the set of points in three-space equidistant from a given point is a sphere.

Piano tuners tune pianos by listening to the beats between the harmonics of two different strings. When properly tuned, the note
Sophie [7]

(a) 2 Hz

The frequency of the nth-harmonic is given by

f_n = n f_1

where

f_1 is the fundamental frequency

Therefore, the frequency of the third harmonic of the A (f_1 = 440 Hz) is

f_3 = 3 \cdot f_1 = 3 \cdot 440 Hz =1320 Hz

while the frequency of the second harmonic of the E (f_1 = 659 Hz) is

f_2 = 2 \cdot f_1 = 2 \cdot 659 Hz =1318 Hz

So the frequency difference is

\Delta f = 1320 Hz - 1318 Hz = 2 Hz

(b) 2 Hz

The beat frequency between two harmonics of different frequencies f, f' is given by

f_B = |f'-f|

In this case, when the strings are properly tuned, we have

- Frequency of the 3rd harmonic of A-note: 1320 Hz

- Frequency of the 2nd harmonic of E-note: 1318 Hz

So, the beat frequency should be (if the strings are properly tuned)

f_B = |1320 Hz - 1318 Hz|=2 Hz

(c) 1324 Hz

The fundamental frequency on a string is proportional to the square root of the tension in the string:

f_1 \propto \sqrt{T}

this means that by tightening the string (increasing the tension), will increase the fundamental frequency also*, and therefore will increase also the frequency of the 2nd harmonic.

In this situation, the beat frequency is 4 Hz (four beats per second):

f_B = 4 Hz

And since the beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference between the 3rd harmonic of the A-note and the 2nd harmonic of the E-note,

f_B = |f_3-f_2|

and f_3 = 1320 Hz, we have two possible solutions for f_2:

f_2 = f_3 - f_B = 1320 Hz - 4 Hz = 1316 Hz\\f_2 = f_3 + f_B = 1320 Hz + 4 Hz = 1324 Hz

However, we said that increasing the tension will increase also the frequency of the harmonics (*), therefore the correct frequency in this case will be

1324 Hz

A hypothetical planet has a mass 2.81 times that of Earth, but the same radius.
patriot [66]

The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

<h3>Acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet</h3>

g = GM/R²

where;

  • G is universal gravitation constant
  • M is mass of the planet
  • R is radius of the planet
  • g is acceleration due to gravity = ?

g = (6.626 x 10⁻¹¹ x 2.81 x 5.97 x 10²⁴) / (6371 x 10³)²

g = 27.38 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

A hot-air balloon is ascending at the rate of 10 m/s and is 74 m above the ground when a package is dropped over the side. (a) H
Reika [66]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a)  t1 = 2.99 s ≈ 3 s

b)  vf = 39.43 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 10 m/s

h = 74 m

g = 9.81 m/s

t = ?   time to reach the ground

vf = ?   final speed

a)    h = vot + (1/2)gt²

     74 = 10t + (1/2)9.81t²

     4.9t² + 10t -74 = 0                  solve by using quadratic formula

   

   t = (-b ± √ (b² -4ac) / 2a

   t = (-10 ± √ (10² -4(4.9(-74) / 2(4.9)

   t = (-10 ± √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81

  t1 = (-10 + √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81               t2 = (-10 - √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81

  t1 = (-10 ± 39.38 ) / 9.81                    t2 = (-10 - 39.38) / 9.81

   t1 = 2.99 s ≈ 3 s                               t2 = is negative then is wrong there are

                                                                   no negative times.

b) Formula vf = vo + gt

                  vf = 10 + (9.81)(3)

                  vf = 10 + 29.43

                  vf = 39.43 m/s

Write a simple rule that will tell a person how many water molecule will be lost while putting monosaccharides together to form
belka [17]
<span>For hydrolysis to monosaccharides, one molecule of a disaccharide needs only one molecule of water. C12H22O11 (sucrose) + H2O = C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose) Structurally, a disaccharide molecule may be viewed as a product formed by the condensation of two molecules of monosaccharides with the elimination of a water molecule. So, only one H2O molecule is needed for the reverse process.</span>

Which option would it be
guapka [62]
It would be 4 atm, because the way to figure out the final pressure is that (P1)(V1)=(P2)(V2)

meaning that the original pressure x original volume is equal to the final pressure x final volume. This gas law is called Boyle's law if you'd like to learn more about it.

But (1 atm)(40 mL)=(4 atm)(10 mL)

So it would be the second choice.
