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

A force vector F1 points due east and has a magnitude of 200N. A second force F2 is added to F1. The resultant of the two vector
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The second vector \vec{F_2} points due West with a magnitude of 600N

Explanation:

The original vector \vec{F_1} points with a magnitude of 200N due east, the Resultant vector \vec{R} points due west (that's how east/west direction can be interpreted, from east to west) with a magnitude of  400N. If we choose East as the positive direction and West as the negative one, we can write the following vectorial equation:

\vec{F_1}+\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}\implies\vec{F_2}=\vec{R}-\vec{F_1}=-400N-200N=-600N

With the negative sign signifying that the vector points west.

Suppose a constant net force of 345 N is applied to slide a heavy stationary couch across the
ira [324]

Answer:

517.5Ns

Explanation:

F=(MV - MU)/t

where MV - MU is the change in momentum,

therefore, MV - MU = Ft

= 345 X 1.

= 517.5Ns

When two forces are acting a body in opposite direction their resultant become 6N and when they are acting in the same direction
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

9 and 3 N

Explanation:

Forces in the same direction sum up to produce the resultant force;

One force subtract the other will give the resultant force when they are in opposite directions;

Lets say one direction is forwards and the opposite backwards;

We have one force, let's say force A, in the forwards direction and another force, force B, acting in the same (forwards) or opposite (backwards) direction;

If B is acting in the same direction, then the resultant force (in this case) will be as follows:

A + B = 12

If B is acting in the opposite direction, then the resultant force will be as follows:
A - B = 6

Summing the two equations will allow us to solve for A:

A + B + (A - B) = 12 + 6

2A = 18

A = 9

Substitute this into either of the above equations and we can solve for B:
(9) - B = 6

B = 9 - 6

B = 3
