A string of length L, fixed at both ends, is capable of vibrating at 309 Hz in its first harmonic. However, when a finger is pla

ced at a distance ℓ from one end, the remaining length L − ℓ of the string vibrates in its first harmonic with a frequency of 463 Hz. What is the distance ℓ? Express your answer as a ratio of the length L.

Answer:

 i = 0.3326 L

Explanation:

A fixed string at both ends presents a phenomenon of standing waves, two waves with the same frequency that are added together. The expression to describe these waves is

    2 L = n λ           n = 1, 2, 3…

The first harmonic or leather for n = 1

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency

     v = λ f

     λ = v / f

Let's replace in the first equation

    2 L = 1 (v / f₁)

For the shortest length L = L-l

   2 (L- l) = 1 (v / f₂)

These two equations form our equation system, let's eliminate v

    v = 2L f₁

    v = 2 (L-l) f₂

    2L f₁ = 2 (L-l) f₂

    L- l = L f₁ / f₂

    l = L - L f₁ / f₂

    l = L (1- f₁ / f₂)

.

Let's calculate

    l / L = (1- 309/463)

    i / L = 0.3326

What happens to the convection fluid as it heats up? How might this relate to masses of heated air?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The convection process plays an important role in the liquid. Due to the increasing heat supply or high amount of temperature, the fluid gets heated up, as a result of which it becomes warm, less dense and eventually rises up forming convection cells.

In the interior of the earth, the hot molten rocks get heated up due to the heat supplied by the core of the earth. This makes the magma warm and less dense and rises upward forming convection currents in the mantle.

This convection process is similar to the convection cells that form in the atmosphere, where the hot, less dense air rises up in the atmosphere forming a low-pressure zone. This uprising air forms convection cells, in which the warm air rises and as it rises high in the atmosphere, the temperature becomes low, making the air cold and it eventually sinks.

A cord of mass 0.65 kg is stretched between two supports 28 m apart. if the tension in the cord is 150 n, 2 how long will it tak
MaRussiya [10]
Ans: Time <span>taken by a pulse to travel from one support to the other = 0.348s
</span>
Explanation:
First you need to find out the speed of the wave.

Since
Speed = v = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }

Where
T = Tension in the cord = 150N
μ = Mass per unit length = mass/Length = 0.65/28 = 0.0232 kg/m

So
v = \sqrt{ \frac{150}{0.0232} } = 80.41 m/s

Now the time-taken by the wave = t = Length/speed = 28/80.41=0.348s

From a set of graphed data the slope of the best fit line is found to be 1.35 m/s and the slope of the worst fit line is 1.29m/s
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Solution:

Let the slope of the best fit line be represented by 'm_{best}'

and the slope of the worst fit line be represented by 'm_{worst}'

Given that:

m_{best} = 1.35 m/s

m_{worst} = 1.29 m/s

Then the uncertainity in the slope of the line is given by the formula:

\Delta m = \frac{m_{best}-m_{worst}}{2}               (1)

Substituting values in eqn (1), we get

\Delta m = \frac{1.35 - 1.29}{2} = 0.03 m/s
