Spiders may "tune" strands of their webs to give an enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to the frequencies at which d

esirable prey might struggle. Orb web silk has a typical diameter of 0.0020 mm, and spider silk has a density of 1300 kg/m3. To give a resonance at 200Hz to what tension must a spider adjust a 16cm long strand of silk?

Answer:

0.0000167283525619 N

Explanation:

\rho = Density of silk = 1300 kg/m³

d = Diameter = 0.002 mm

r = Radius = 0.001 mm

l = Length = 16 cm

f = Frequency = 200 Hz

Mass of the string is

m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=\rho Al\\\Rightarrow m=1300\times \pi (0.001\times 10^{-3})^2\times 0.16\\\Rightarrow m=6.5345127195\times 10^{-10}\ kg

Frequency is given by

f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m/l}}\\\Rightarrow T=4lf^2m\\\Rightarrow T=4\times 0.16\times 200^2\times 6.5345127195\times 10^{-10}\\\Rightarrow T=0.0000167283525619\ N

The tension on the string is 0.0000167283525619 N

An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) whi
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The explorer should travel to reach base camp to 5.02 Km at 4.28° south of due west.

Explanation:

Using trigonometric function like Sen(Ф), Cos(Ф) and Tan(Ф) we can get distance and direction that the explorer should travel to reach base camp. When we discompound the vector X = 7.8*Cos(50) = 5.01 Km y y = 7.8 * Sen (50) - 5.6 = 5.975 - 5.6 (Km) = 0.375 (Km) so that Tan (\alpha ) = \frac{0.375}{5.01} = 4.28; \alpha = Arctang (\frac{0.375}{5.01}) = 4.28 (degree) to get how far we use Pythagorean theorem so R^{2} = x^{2}+y^{2} so that R=\sqrt{0.375^{2}+5.01^{2} } =5.02 (Km)

What is the difference between rutherford's model of the atom and bohr's model of the atom
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Rutherford described the atom as consisting of a tiny positive mass surrounded by a cloud of negative electrons. Bohr thought that electrons orbited the nucleus in quantised orbits. Bohr built upon Rutherford's model of the atom. ... So it was not possible for electrons to occupy just any energy level.

What is the force on a box that is being pushed to the right with 50n of force while, at the same time, being pushed to the left
elena-s [515]
I think the question meant to say net force on the box. Since force is a vector, the direction matters. 20N left is negated completely by the 50N right, which means the net force is 50N-20N to the right, 30N.
