Web Spiders and Oscillations All spiders have special organs that make them exquisitely sensitive to vibrations. Web spiders det

ect vibrations of their web to determine what has landed in their web, and where. In fact, spiders carefully adjust the tension of strands to "tune" their web. Suppose an insect lands and is trapped in a web. The silk of the web serves as the spring in a spring-mass system while the body of the insect is the mass. The frequency of oscillation depends on the restoring force of the web and the mass of the insect. Spiders respond more quickly to larger - and therefore more valuable - prey, which they can distinguish by the web's oscillation frequency. Suppose a 14 mg fly lands in the center of a horizontal spider's web, causing the web to sag by 4.0 mm. Assuming that the web acts like a spring, what is the spring constant of the web? Which of the following is it?a. 0.027N/mb. 27N/mc. 2.7N/md. 0.27N/mModeling the motion of the fly on the web as a mass on a spring, at what frequency will the web vibrate when the fly hits it? Which of the following is it?a. 25Hzb. 7.9Hzc. 0.79Hzd. 2.5Hz

Complete Question

The complete quetion is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The mass of the fly is  m_f =  11 mg =  11*10^{-3} g =  1.1*10^{-5} \ kg

        The extension of the web is  e=  4.00 \ mm = 0.004 \ m

       

The spring constant is mathematically evaluated as

          k = \frac{mg}{e}

substituting values

        k = \frac{1.1 *10^{-5} *9.8}{0.004}

         k = 0.027 \ N/m

The frequency of vibration is

         f =  \frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

substituting values

       f =  \frac{1}{2 * 3.142 } \sqrt{\frac{0.027}{1.1*10^{-5}} }

      f = 7.9 Hz

The milky way galaxy is the galaxy that is closest to us contains the most stars is farthest from us contains our solar system
yKpoI14uk [10]
The Milky Way galaxy is the one that the sun is a member of, and it contains
our solar system.  We're in it, and you can't get much closer than that.

The Milky Way is known to be bigger than your average galaxy, but it's
probably not correct to say that it contains the 'most' stars of any galaxy. 
The estimate for the Milky Way is only a few hundred billion stars.

Identify the palindromic base sequence in the DNA donor molecule shown.
Airida [17]

Explanation:

Since a double helix is formed by two paired antiparallel strands of nucleotides that run in opposite directions, and the nucleotides always pair in the same way (adenine (A) with thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) in RNA; cytosine (C) with guanine (G)), a (single-stranded) nucleotide sequence is said to be a palindrome
