which component of the Star Wars movies is possible according to our current understanding of physics?

1 answer:

8 0

The movie Star Wars is a space opera interstellar epic which uses science and technology in its settings and storylines, although its main focus is not necessarily on science.

Many elements in the films appear to defy simple laws of physics.
One of which is the falling of spaceships when they are hit by a laser beam. Experts said, this is one good example because without gravity in space, ships should travel in the direction of the impact instead of dropping like a stone.

When a certain string is clamped at both ends, the lowest four resonant frequencies are 50, 100, 150, and 200 Hz. When the strin

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Lowest four resonance frequencies are given with magnitude

50,100,150 and 200 Hz

The frequency of vibrating string is given by

$f=\frac{n}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}$

where n=1,2,3 or ...n

L=Length of string

T=Tension

$\mu =$ Mass per unit length

When string is clamped at mid-point

Effecting length becomes $L'=0.5 L$

Thus new Frequency becomes

$f' =\frac{n}{L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}$

i.e. New frequency is double of old

so new lowest four resonant frequencies are 100,200,300 and 400 Hz

A cello string 0.75 m long has a 220 hz fundamental frequency. find the wave speed along the vibrating string. answer in units o

maxonik [38]

For fundamental frequency of a string to occur, the length of the string has to be half the wavelength. That is,

1/2y = L, where L = length of the string, y = wavelength.

Therefore,
y = 2L = 2*0.75 =1.5 m

Additionally,
y = v/f Where v = wave speed, and f = ferquncy

Then,
v = y*f = 1.5*220 = 330 m/s
