What chemical phenomenon accounts for the elasticity seen in solids?

Spring #1 has a force constant of k, and spring #2 has a force constant of 2k. Both springs are attached to the ceiling. Identic

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is 2:1

Explanation:

Let the weight that is hooked to two springs be w.

Spring#1:

Force constant= k

let x1 be the extension in spring#1

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒k·x1=w

⇒x1=w/k

Energy stored in a spring is given by $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$ where k is the force constant and x is the extension in spring.

Therefore Energy stored in spring#1 is, $\frac{1}{2}k(x1)^{2}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{w}{k})^{2}$

⇒ $\frac{w^{2}}{2k}$

Spring #2:

Force constant= 2k

let x2 be the extension in spring#2

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒2k·x2=w

⇒x2=w/2k

Therefore Energy stored in spring#2 is, $\frac{1}{2}2k(x2)^{2}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}2k(\frac{w}{2k})^{2}$

⇒ $\frac{w^{2}}{4k}$

∴The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is $\frac{\frac{w^{2}}{2k}}{\frac{w^{2}}{4k}}=$ 2:1

The frequency of the second harmonic of a certain musical instrument is 100 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the instrum

ruslelena [56]

The harmonic frequency of a musical instrument is the minimum frequency at which a string that is fixed at both ends in the instrument may vibrate. The harmonic frequency is known as the first harmonic. Each subsequent harmonic has a frequency equal to:
n*f, where n is the number of the harmonic and f is the harmonic frequency. Therefore, the harmonic frequency may be calculated using:
f = 100 / 2
f = 50 Hz
