Shoo the fly flaps its wings back and forth 140 times each second. The frequency of the wing flapping is ____ Hz.

Physics
1 answer:
ExtremeBDS [4]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

140 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency is the reciprocal of period hence f=1/T

Here, the frequency is 140 times per second hence the period will be 1/140= 0.0071428571428 s

Rounded off to 3 significant figures then the period is 0.00714 s or 0.714 ms

Otherwise, the frequency is already given as 140 cycles per second which is equivalent to 140 Hz

What is the effect on the force of gravity between two objects if the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

B. It always decreases

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the foce of gravity is given by

F_G=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where

G= Gravitational constant

m₁ = mass of first object

m₂ = mass of second object

r = the distance between both objects

If the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to the second object and the second object’s mass are both doubled, we have

F_{G2} =\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(2r)^2} = \frac{2}{4} \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Therefore the gravitational force is halved. That is it will always decrease

Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the a
Naily [24]

Answer:

The angular acceleration of the pencil<em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Explanation:

Using Newton's second angular law or torque to find angular acceleration, we get the following expressions:

    τ = I α                              (1)

    W r = I α                          (2)

The weight is that the pencil has is,

   sin 10 = r / (L/2)

   r = L/2(sin(10))

 

The shape of the pencil can be approximated to be a cylinder that rotates on one end and therefore its moment of inertia will be:

    I = 1/3 M L²

Thus,

   mg(L / 2)sin(10) = (1/3 m L²)(α) 

   α(f) = 3/2(g) / Lsin(10)

   α  = 3/2(9.8) / 0.150sin(10)

  <em> α  = 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the pencil<em> </em>is<em> 17 rad·s⁻²</em>

Rocks are elastic too! Explain how elasticity and Harry Reid's elastic rebound theory lead to a better understanding of earthqua
ANEK [815]
After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes
