Half-life, in radioactivity, the interval of time required for one-half of the atomic nuclei of a radioactive sample to decay (change spontaneously into other nuclear species by emitting particles and energy), or, equivalently, the time interval required for the number of disintegrations per second of a radioactive

A 60.00-cm guitar string under a tension of 50.000 N has a mass per unit length of 0.100 00 g/cm chegg
Evgen [1.6K]

Fundamental frequency,

f=v2l=T/μ−−−−√2l

=(50)/0.1×10−3/10−22×0.6−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

=58.96Hz

Let, n th harmonic is the hightest frequency, then

(58.93)n = 20000

∴N=339.38

Hence, 339 is the highest frequency.

∴fmax=(339)(58.93)Hz=19977Hz.

<h3>What is frequency?</h3>

In physics, frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in a unit of time as well as the number of cycles or vibrations that a body in periodic motion experiences in a unit of time. After moving through a sequence of situations or locations and then returning to its initial position, a body in periodic motion is said to have experienced one cycle or one vibration. See also simple harmonic motion and angular velocity.

I NEED AN ANSWER!
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Before sled starts to move it has a potential energy due to the elevation...and then that potential energy converted to kinetic energy due to presence of a velocity...the sled will continue to move if their is no resesive force...but however friction force is presence that cause the sled to stop....

2. A brick is sitting on a building 22 m high. It has a mass of 7.9 kg. What amount of potential
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1703.24J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of brick  = 7.9kg

Height of building  = 22m

Unknown:

Potential energy of the brick  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy at rest of the body. Mathematically;

 

         P.E = mgh

m is the mass of the brick

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

  Insert the given parameters and solve;

        P.E  = 7.9 x 9.8 x 22  = 1703.24J
