Answer:

(a) T = 0.015 N

(b) M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g

Explanation:

(a) T = 0.015 N

First, we will find the speed of waves:

v =f\lambda

where,

v = speed of wave = ?

f = frequency = 120 Hz

λ = wavelength = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Therefore,

v = (120 Hz)(0.06 m)

v = 7.2 m/s

Now, we will find the linear mass density of the coil:

\mu = \frac{m}{l}

where,

μ = linear mass density = ?

m = mass = 1.45 g = 1.45 x 10⁻³ kg

l = length = 5 m

Thereforre,

\mu = \frac{1.45\ x\ 10^{-3}\ kg}{5\ m}\\\\\mu = 2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m

Now, for the tension we use the formula:

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\\\\7.2\ m/s = \sqrt{\frac{T}{2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m}}\\\\(51.84\ m^2/s^2)(2.9\ x\ 10^{-4}\ kg/m) = T

<u>T = 0.015 N</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The mass to be hung is:

T = Mg\\\\M = \frac{T}{g}\\\\M = \frac{0.015\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\

<u>M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g</u>

An object of mass 2kg raised to a height 10m possess potential energy of 200J. What is the kinetic energy and potential energy a
Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

{\bold{\sf{\underline{Understanding \: the \: concept}}}}

✠ This question says that there is an object and its mass is 2 kg ; it's raised to a height 10 m and possess potential energy of 200 J. Now this question ask us to find the kinetic energy and the potential energy at a height 4 metre.

\bold{↬{   }}{\bold{\sf{\underline{Given \: that}}}}

✰ Mass = 2 kilograms

✰ Raised height = 10 metres

✰ Posses potential energy = 200 Joules

\bold{↬{   }}{\bold{\sf{\underline{To \: find}}}}

✰ Kinetic energy at a height 4 metre

✰ Potential energy at a height 4 metre

{\bold{\sf{\underline{Solution}}}}

✰ Kinetic energy at a height 4 metre = 120 J

✰ Potential energy at a height 4 metre = 80 J

{\bold{\sf{\underline{Using \: concepts}}}}

✰ Potential energy formula.

{\bold{\sf{\underline{Using \: formula}}}}

✰ Potential energy = mgh

{\bold{\sf{\underline{We \: also \: write \: these \: as}}}}

✰ Potential energy as P.E

✰ Mass as m

✰ Joules as J

✰ Height as h

✰ Raised height as g

{\bold{\sf{\underline{Full \: solution}}}}

<h3>✠ Let us find the Potential energy.</h3>

↦ Potential energy = mgh

↦ Potential energy = 2 × 10 × 4

↦ Potential energy = 20 × 4

↦ Potential energy = 80 J

<h3>✠ Now according to the question let us find the kinetic energy</h3>

↦ Kinetic energy = Posses potential energy - Finded potential energy

↦ Kinetic energy = 200 J - 80 J

↦ Kinetic energy = 120 Joules

A flute player hears four beats per second when she compares her note to a 523 HzHz tuning fork (the note C). She can match the
laiz [17]

Answer:

527 Hz

Solution:

As per the question:

Beat frequency of the player, \Delta f = 4\ beats/s

Frequency of the tuning fork, f = 523 Hz

Now,

The initial frequency can be calculated as:

\Delta f = f - f_{i}

f_{i} = f \pm \Delta f

when

f_{i} = f + \Delta f = 523 + 4 = 527 Hz

when

f_{i} = f - \Delta f = 523 - 4 = 519 Hz

But we know that as the length of the flute increases the frequency decreases

Hence, the initial frequency must be 527 Hz
