A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of sound is 342 m/s. When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune wi

th a 440 Hz tuning fork. After a few minutes, the air inside her flute has warmed to where the speed of sound is 346 m/s.
-got A: How many beats per second will she hear if she now plays the note A as the tuning fork is sounded? 5.15 Beats/s

-now gotta find B:
How far does she need to extend the "tuning joint" of her flute to be in tune with the tuning fork? (answer is d=_____mm)

Answer:

5.15348 Beats/s

4.55 mm

Explanation:

v_1 = Velocity of sound = 342 m/s

v_2 = Velocity of sound = 346 m/s

f_1 = First frequency = 440 Hz

Frequency is given by

f_2=\frac{v_2}{2L_1}\\\Rightarrow f_2=\frac{346}{2\times 0.38863}\\\Rightarrow f_2=445.15348\ Hz

Beat frequency is given by

|f_1-f_2|=|440-445.15348|=5.15348\ Beats/s

Beat frequency is 5.15348 Hz

Wavelength is given by

\lambda_1=\frac{v_1}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_1=\frac{342}{440}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_1=0.77727\ m

Relation between length of the flute and wavelength is

\lambda_1=2L_1\\\Rightarrow L_1=\frac{\lambda_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_1=\frac{0.77727}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_1=0.38863\ m

At v = 346 m/s

\lambda_2=\frac{v_2}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\frac{346}{440}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_1=0.78636\ m

L_2=\frac{\lambda_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\frac{0.78636}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=0.39318\ m

Difference in length is

\Delta L=L_2-L_1\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.39318-0.38863\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.00455\ m=4.55\ mm

It extends to 4.55 mm

The voltage between two parallel plates separated by a distance of 3. 0 cm is 120 v. The electric field between the plates is?
Lapatulllka [165]

The electric field between plates is 4000V/m.

An electric field (sometimes E-field) is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them. It also refers to the physical field for a system of charged particles.

The value of the electric field has dimensions of force per unit charge. In the metre-kilogram-second and SI systems, the appropriate units are newtons per coulomb, equivalent to volts per metre.

The voltage between points A and B is

V=E.d

E =V/d  (uniform E- field only)  

where  d is the distance from A to B, or the distance between the plates.

Given:

distance d = 3 cm

voltage V = 120 V

Electric field E = V/d

                     E = 120 V / 3cm

                     E = 40 V / 1 cm               [ 1 cm = 1/100 m ]

                    E = 4000 V/m.

I really need help with this
katen-ka-za [31]

<u>C</u> is the correct answer, because energy cannot be created neither destroy. The energy is changing from chemical to from electric to light, and from light to heat.

Difference between discrete and continuous charge distribution?
Vlada [557]
Discrete systems are those systems in which are made up of finite component particles a which are non-homogeneously arranged such that no smooth variation exists. It is such that all constituent particles have properties which vary randomly. They are direct opposite to continuous systems, which are smooth arrangement of particles which cannot be individually taken into consideration.

Is the energy of a wave is calculated by squaring the frequency of the wave?
Misha Larkins [42]
Nope.
Energy is directly proportional to frequency. and when you calculate energy, you multiply frequency with a constant number called "Planck's Constant"

E = hf

Hope this helps!
