Describe an experiment to determine how the frequency of a vibrating string depends on the length of the string

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

For a vibrating string, the fundamental frequency depends on the string's length, its tension, and its mass per unit length. ... The fundamental frequency of a vibrating string is inversely proportional to its length.

Explanation:

Sounds of a single pure frequency are produced only by tuning forks and electronic devices called oscillators; most sounds are a mixture of tones of different frequencies and amplitudes. The tones produced by musical instruments have one important characteristic in common: they are periodic, that is, the vibrations occur in repeating patterns. The oscilloscope trace of a trumpet's sound shows such a pattern. For most non-musical sounds, such as those of a bursting balloon or a person coughing, an oscilloscope trace would show a jagged, irregular pattern, indicating a jumble of frequencies and amplitudes.

A column of air, as that in a trumpet, and a piano string both have a fundamental frequency—the frequency at which they vibrate most readily when set in motion. For a vibrating column of air, that frequency is determined principally by the length of the column. (The trumpet's valves are used to change the effective length of the column.) For a vibrating string, the fundamental frequency depends on the string's length, its tension, and its mass per unit length.

In addition to its fundamental frequency, a string or vibrating column of air also produces overtones with frequencies that are whole-number multiples of the fundamental frequency. It is the number of overtones produced and their relative strength that gives a musical tone from a given source its distinctive quality, or timbre. The addition of further overtones would produce a complicated pattern, such as that of the oscilloscope trace of the trumpet's sound.

How the fundamental frequency of a vibrating string depends on the string's length, tension, and mass per unit length is described by three laws:

1. The fundamental frequency of a vibrating string is inversely proportional to its length.

Reducing the length of a vibrating string by one-half will double its frequency, raising the pitch by one octave, if the tension remains the same.

2. The fundamental frequency of a vibrating string is directly proportional to the square root of the tension.

Increasing the tension of a vibrating string raises the frequency; if the tension is made four times as great, the frequency is doubled, and the pitch is raised by one octave.

3. The fundamental frequency of a vibrating string is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass per unit length.

This means that of two strings of the same material and with the same length and tension, the thicker string has the lower fundamental frequency. If the mass per unit length of one string is four times that of the other, the thicker string has a fundamental frequency one-half that of the thinner string and produces a tone one octave lower.

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced using the current. The simplest form of an electromagnet is a wire wrapped around in a coil.
The strength of magnetic field of such magnet is given with this equation:
$B=\frac{NI\mu}{L}$
Where N is the number of loops in the coil, I is the strength of the current flowing through the coil, L is the length of the coil, and $\mu$ is <span>permeability of the electromagnet core material.
From this equation, we can see that increasing both the current and number of loops will increase the strength of the magnet.
Both BLANKS should be Increase. When you use the additional battery you will have more voltage and more voltage means more electricity.</span>

If a calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules how many joules are contained in 250 kg calories slice of pizza

Andreyy89

In order to answer this, we will set up a simple ratio as such:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules

250 kilocalories = x joules

Cross multiplying the second and third equations, we get:

x joules = 4,184 * 250

250 kilocalories are equivalent to 1,046 kJ
