Answer:

The first harmonic is: 250Hz, second harmonic 500Hz, third harmonic 750Hz.

Explanation:

Use the frequency f, speed v, and wavelentgh L relationship:

v = f\cdot L\implies f = \frac{v}{L}

We are given the speed v=400 m/s. The base wavelength on a string of length 80cm is twice the length of the string (a "half wave" along the full length of the string), so:

f = \frac{400\frac{m}{s}}{2\cdot0.8 m}= 250\frac{1}{s}=250 Hz

The fundamental frequency (first harmonic) is 250 Hz

The second harmonic is produced by one full wave across the string (adding one node in the middle), so L=80cm in this case, therefore the second harmonic frequency is: f2 = 2*250=500Hz

the third harmonic add another node (and a half wave) to the pattern and the wavelength will be 2/3 of 80cm, so f3=3*250Hz = 750Hz

You drop a 0.375 kg ball from a height of 1.37 m. It hits the ground and bounces up again to a height of 0.67 m. How much energy
Radda [10]

2.57 joule energy lose in the bounce .

<u>Explanation</u>:

when ball is the height of 1.37 m from the ground  it has some gravitational potential energy with respect to hits the ground  

Formula for gravitational potential energy given by  

Potential Energy = mgh

Where ,

m = mass  

g = acceleration due to gravity  

h = height

Potential energy when ball hits the ground

m= 0.375 kg

h = 1.37 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Potential Energy = 0.375\times9.8\times1.37

Potential Energy = 5.03 joule

Potential energy when ball bounces up again

h= 0.67 m

Potential Energy = 0.375\times0.67\times9.8

Potential Energy = 2.46 joule

Energy loss = 5.03 - 2.46 = 2.57 joule

2.57 joule energy lose in the bounce

What is one advantage of using electromagnets instead of permanent magnets
zimovet [89]
The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

The distance recorded for riding a motorcycle on its rear wheel without stopping is more than 320 km! Suppose the rider in this
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

<h3>14.97m/s</h3>

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of the car u = 8m/s

Distance travelled by the rider S = 40m

Acceleration a = 2m/s²

Required

rider's velocity after the acceleration v

Using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

v² = 8²+2(2)(40)

v² = 64+160

v² = 224

v = √224

v = 14.97m/s

Hence the rider's velocity after the acceleration is 14.97m/s
