What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?

Answer:

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.

When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.

How can energy be converted from one form to another?

Ket [755]

By heat or change in matter,
there can be different reactions that create heat (like exothermic or endothermic reactions)
or movement can give off energy too,
energy is basically just heat

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three

Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding F₁ and F₂ is

F₁ + F₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force F₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + F₃ = -12 N

F₃ = -30 N

So F₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.

You want to manufacture a guitar such that the instrument will be in tune when each of the strings are tightened to the same ten

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

0.000507 kg/m

Explanation:

L = Length of string

T = Tension

$\mu$ = Mass density of string

E denotes the E string

D denotes the D String

Frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

$f\propto \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{\mu}}$

$\dfrac{f_D}{f_E}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\mu_E}{\mu_D}}\\\Rightarrow \mu_E=\dfrac{f_D^2}{f_E^2}\mu_D\\\Rightarrow \mu_E=\dfrac{146.83^2}{329.63^2}\times 0.00256\\\Rightarrow \mu_E=0.000507\ kg/m$

The mass density of the E string is 0.000507 kg/m
