first off lemme just say this is really easy man, just look at the directions
Blank #1: -23
Blank #2: 23
I think it's D because sunlight is a solar system
Answer:
![f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20f2%2Ff1%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B2%7D%20)
Explanation:
From frequency of oscillation
![f = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20f%20%3D%201%2F2pi%20%2A%5Csqrt%7Bk%2Fm%7D%20)
Initially with the suspended string, the above equation is correct for the relation, hence
![f1 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20f1%20%3D%201%2F2pi%20%2A%5Csqrt%7Bk%2Fm%7D%20)
where k is force constant and m is the mass
When the spring is cut into half, by physics, the force constant will be doubled as they are inversely proportional
![f2 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{2k/m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20f2%20%3D%201%2F2pi%20%2A%5Csqrt%7B2k%2Fm%7D%20)
Employing f2/ f1, we have
![f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20f2%2Ff1%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B2%7D%20)
