Answer:

259 Hz or 269 Hz

Explanation:

Beat: This is the phenomenon obtained when two notes of nearly equal frequency are sounded together. The S.I unit of beat is Hertz (Hz).

From the question,

Beat = f₂-f₁................ Equation 1

Note: The frequency of the other instrument is either f₁ or f₂.

If the unknown instrument's frequency is f₁,

Then,

f₁ = f₂-beat............ equation 2

Given: f₂ = 264 Hz, Beat = 5 Hz

Substitute into equation 2

f₁ = 264-5

f₁ = 259 Hz.

But if the unknown frequency is f₂,

Then,

f₂ = f₁+Beat................. Equation 3

f₂ = 264+5

f₂ = 269 Hz.

Hence the beat could be 259 Hz or 269 Hz

a bungee jumper of mass 50 kg jumps from a bridge using a 10 m long cord which can be approximated as a spring with spring const

Maslowich

Answer:

25.95 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the bungee jumper = 50 kg

k = spring constant of the cord = 100 N/m

x = stretch of the cord

L = length of the cord = 10 m

h = height dropped by the bungee jumper = L + x = 10 + x

Using conservation of energy

Spring potential energy = gravitational potential energy

(0.5) k x² = mg h

(0.5) (100) x² = (50) (9.8) (10 + x)

x = 15.95 m

d = distance traveled below the bridge

d = L + x

d = 10 + 15.95

d = 25.95 m

A plane flying against the wind covers the 900-kilometer distance between two aerodromes in 2 hours. The same plane flying with

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The speed of the wind is 25 km/hr.

Explanation:

Let us call $v_p$ the speed of the plane and $v_w$ the speed of the wind. When the plane is flying against the wind, it covers the distance of 900-km in 2 hours (120 minutes); therefore;

(1). $v_p - v_w = \dfrac{900km}{120min}$

And when the plane is flying with the wind, it covers the same distance in 1 hour 48 minutes (108 minutes)

(2). $v_p+v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}$

From equation (1) we solve for $v_p$ and get:

$v_p = \dfrac{900km}{120min}+v_w$ ,

and by putting this into equation (2) we get:

$\dfrac{900km}{120min}+v_w+v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}$

$2v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}-\dfrac{900km}{120min}$

$2v_w = 8.3km/min - 7.5km/min$

$2v_w = 0.83km/min$

$v_w = 0.4165km/min$

or in km/hr this is

$\boxed{v_w= 25km/hr }$

On a planet where g = 10.0 m/s2 and air resistance is negligible, a sled is at rest on a rough inclined hill rising at 30°. The

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

a is the acceleration

μ is the coefficient of friction

Acceleration of the object is given by

$a = g (\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta)\\\\=10( \sin 30 - 0.4 \cos 30)\\\\=10(0.5-0.3464)\\\\=1.54m/s^2$

Velocity at the bottom

$v^2=u^2+2as\\\\u=0\\\\v^2=2as\\\\=2*1.54*8\\\\=24.576\\\\v=4.96m/s$

after travelling 4m , its velocity becomes 0

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\frac{0-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\frac{-(-4.96)^2}{2*4} \\\\=-3.075m/s^2$

Coefficient of kinetic friction

μ = F/N

$=\frac{ma}{mg} \\\\=\frac{3.075}{10} \\\\=0.31$

Therefore, the Coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.31

A person of mass m is standing on the surface of the Earth, of mass M E . What is the acceleration that the Earth experiences du

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

$a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}$

Explanation:

$M_E$ = Mass of the Earth = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of person

The force on the person will balance the gravitational force

$M_Ea_E=\dfrac{GmM_E}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}$

The acceleration that the Earth will feel is $a_E=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}$
