The label has been scratched off a tuning fork and you need to know its frequency. From its size, you suspect that it is somewhe

re around 250 Hz. You find a 250-Hz tuning fork and a 270-Hz tuning fork. When you strike the 250-Hz fork and the fork of unknown frequency, you hear a modulation (fluctuation of the amplitude) at a frequency of 5 Hz. When you strike the unknown with the 270-Hz fork, you hear a modulation at a frequency of 15 Hz. What is the unknown frequency

Answer:

255 Hz

Explanation:

With 5 beats per second with the 250 Hz fork, we know the unknown fork is either 250 - 5 = 245Hz or 250 + 5 = 255 Hz

With 15 beats per second with the 270 Hz fork, we know the unknown fork is either 270 - 15 = 255Hz or 270 + 15 = 285 Hz (most people would have a hard time discerning 15 beats per second... 5 per second is hard enough)

As 255 is the common frequency, it is the one selected.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

ratio =0.3075 T

Explanation:

The magnetic field B creates a force on a moving charge such that

F = qvB

Now this causes a centripetal acceleration

F =  = mv^2/r

 so

qvB = mv^2/r ...........(i)

B = mv/(rq)  ...............(ii)

If  accelerating potential V is  same and  then  kinetic energy equals the potential energy difference

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = Vq

v = \sqrt{(2Vq/m)}      put these value in equation (ii)

B = m\frac{\sqrt{(2Vq/m)} }{rq}  

simplifying we get  

B =m \frac{(\sqrt{ 2Vm/q})}{r}

for same location r will be same in both case

B_{7} = \frac{ \sqrt{(m_{7})(2V/q) }}{r}      ..............(iii)

B_{10} = \frac{ \sqrt{(m_{10})(2V/q) }}{r}    ..........(iv)

 dividing (iv) and (iii) equation we get

\frac{B_{10}}{B_{7}}   =   \sqrt{\frac{m_{10}}{{m_7}} }

{B_{10}}  =  B_{7}  \sqrt{\frac{m_{10}}{{m_7}} }

B_{10}       = 0.2574T\sqrt{\frac{  (1.663x10^-26}{(1.165x10^-26)}

so on solving we get  

             =0.3075 T

If a single circular loop of wire carries a current of 62 A and produces a magnetic field at its center with a magnitude of 1.20
s2008m [1.1K]

Given Information:  

Current in loop = I = 62 A

Magnitude of magnetic field = B = 1.20x10⁻⁴ T

Required Information:  

Radius of the circular loop = r = ?  

Answer:  

Radius of the circular loop = 0.324 m

Explanation:  

In a circular loop of wire with radius r and carrying a current I  induces a magnetic field B which is given by

B = μ₀I/2r

Please note that for an infinitely straight long wire we use 2πr whereas for circular loop we use 2r

Where μ₀= 4πx10⁻⁷ is the permeability of free space

Re-arranging the equation yields

r = μ₀I/2B

r = 4πx10⁻⁷*62/2*1.20x10⁻⁴

r = 0.324 m

Therefore, the radius of this circular loop is 0.324 m

To have a change in acceleration there has to be a change in velocity.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: Compared to displacement and velocity, acceleration is like the angry, fire-breathing dragon of motion variables. It can be violent; some people are scared of it; and if it's big, it forces you to take notice. That feeling you get when you're sitting in a plane during take-off, or slamming on the brakes in a car, or turning a corner at a high speed in a go kart are all situations where you are accelerating.
