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.

Answer:

<em>The first law states that</em> every planet describes an elliptical path about the sun as a single focus.

What is the original source of hydroelectric energy
tangare [24]

Differences in land elevation result in rainfall runoff, and allow some of the original solar energy to be captured as hydro-electric power (Figure 1). Hydro power is currently the world's largest renewable source of electricity, accounting for 6% of worldwide energy supply or about 15% of the world's electricity.

hope this helps

I have a hot air balloon that has 18.0 g helium gas inside of it. if the pressure is 2.00 atm and the temperature is 297k, what
Anastaziya [24]

M = molar mass of the helium gas = 4.0 g/mol

m = mass of the gas given = 18.0 g

n = number of moles of the gas

number of moles of the gas is given as

n = m/M

n = 18.0/4.0

n = 4.5 moles

P = pressure = 2.00 atm = 2.00 x 101325 Pa = 202650 Pa

V = Volume of balloon = ?

T = temperature = 297 K

R = universal gas constant = 8.314

Using the ideal gas equation

P V = n R T

(202650) V = (4.5) (8.314) (297)

V = 0.055 m³

Explain why astronomers use the term "blueshifted" for objects moving toward us and "redshifted" for objects moving away from us
ValentinkaMS [17]
<span>Two of them are "redshift" and "blueshift", which are used to describe an object'smotion toward or away from us in space. Redshift indicates that an object is moving away from us. "Blueshift" is a term that astronomers use to describe an object that is moving toward another object or toward us.</span>
