The word quark <span>originally appeared in a single line of the the novel Finnegans Wake written by the Irish author </span>James Joyce<span> (1882–1941). The protagonist of the book is a publican named Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker who dreams that he is serving beer to a drunken seagull</span>

A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

A) $x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}$

The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):

$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$ (1)

where k is the spring constant.

The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:

$E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (2)

where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.

We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

$U=\frac{1}{3}K$

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

$U=\frac{1}{3}(E-U)=\frac{1}{3}E-\frac{1}{3}U\\U=\frac{E}{4}$

And using (1), we find

$U=\frac{E}{4}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}kA^2}{4}=\frac{1}{8}kA^2$

Substituting $U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ into the last equation, we find the value of x:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{8}kA^2\\x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}$

B) $x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A$

In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

$K=\frac{1}{10}E$

Since we have

$K=E-U$

we can write

$E-U=\frac{1}{10}E\\U=\frac{9}{10}E$

And so we find:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{9}{10}(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=\frac{9}{20}kA^2\\x^2 = \frac{9}{10}A^2\\x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A$

While tuning a string to the note C at 523 Hz, a piano tuner hears 2.00 beats/s between a reference oscillator and the string.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

a)the possible frequencies are 521hz ,522hz, 523, 524hz,525hz

b) 526hz

c)0.989 or a 1.14% decrease in tension

Explanation:

a) While tuning a string at 523 Hz,piano tuner hears 2.00 beats/s between a reference oscillator and the string.

The possible frequencies of the string can be calculated by

fl=f' - B

where

fl= lower limit of the possible frequency

f'= frequency of the string

B= beat heard by the tuner

fl= 523hz + Or - (2beats/secs * 1hz/1beat per sc)

fl= 521hz or 525hz

So the possible frequencies are 521hz ,522hz, 523, 524hz,525hz

b)fl=f' - B

523hz= f' - 3

f'= 523 + 3= 526hz

c) The tension is directly proportional to the square of the frequencies

T1/T2 =f1^2/f2^2

523^2 / 526^2 = 0.989 or a 1.14% decrease in tensio

How can water boil without heat?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Put water at room temperature into a vacuum chamber and begin removing the air. Eventually, the boiling temperature will fall below the water temperature and boiling will begin without heating. Or if you want to be easy but messy, add dry ice to a bowl of water and watch how the water starts to boil.
