If the fundamental frequency of a musical instrument is 42Hz, what is the frequency of the second harmonic?

1 answer:

7 0

For the majority of instruments f = n f0 where f is the resonating frequency, n is any whole number and f0 is the fundamental.
This applies to trumpets, violins, flutes and a broad range. 
In such a case the first harmonic would be at n=1 and the second harmonic would be at n=2 

which gives a frequency of 84 Hz

A crate remains stationary after it has been placed on a ramp inclined at an angle with the horizontal. Which of the following s

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

d. It is equal to the component of the gravitational force acting down the ramp.

Explanation:

The stationary crate is inclined at an angle with the horizontal. The Recall, Frictional Force is any Force that opposes motion.

Because the Force of Friction that is opposing the motion of the crate along the inclination side.

Therefore this Frictional force is balanced or equal to the force that is driving the inclined force.

Hence Frictional Force is equal to the Gravitational Force that is acting in the ramp, that is why the crate is stationery.

A car owner forgets to turn off the headlights of his car while it is parked in his garage. If the 12.0-V battery in his car is

avanturin [10]

Answer: 22.6 hours

Explanation:

The power is the measure of the rate of energy.

In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as
