Piano tuners tune pianos by listening to the beats between the harmonics of two different strings. When properly tuned, the note

A should have the frequency 440 Hz and the note E should be at 659 Hz . The tuner can determine this by listening to the beats between the third harmonic of the A and the second harmonic of the E.
A tuner first tunes the A string very precisely by matching it to a 440 Hz tuning fork. She then strikes the A and E strings simultaneously and listens for beats between the harmonics. The beat frequency that indicates that the E string is properly tuned is 2.0 Hz
The tuner starts with the tension in the E string a little low, then tightens it. What is the frequency of the E string when she hears four beats per second?

Answer:

Frequency = 658 Hz

Explanation:

The third harmonics of A is,

f_{A}=(3)(440Hz)=1320Hz

The second harmonics of E is,

f_{E}=(2)(659Hz)=1318Hz

The difference in the two frequencies is,

delta_f = 1320 Hz - 1318 Hz = 2 Hz

The beat frequency between the third harmonic of A and the second harmonic of E is,

delta_f = 3f_{A}-2f_{E}

f_{E}=\frac{3f_{A}-delta_f}{2}

We have calculate the frequency of the E string when she hears four beats per second, then

delat_f = 4 Hz

f_{E}=\frac{3(440Hz)-4Hz}{2}

f_{E}=658Hz

Hope this helps!

Consider an electron confined in a region of nuclear dimensions (about 5 fm). Find its minimumpossible kinetic energy in MeV. Tr
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

39.40 MeV

Explanation:

<u>Determine the minimum possible Kinetic energy </u>

width of region = 5 fm

From Heisenberg's uncertainty relation below

ΔxΔp ≥ h/2 , where : 2Δx = 5fm ,  Δpc = hc/2Δx = 39.4 MeV

when we apply this values using the relativistic energy-momentum relation

E^2 = ( mc^2)^2 + ( pc )^2 = 39.4 MeV ( right answer ) because the energy grows quadratically in nonrelativistic approximation,

Also in a nuclear confinement ( E, P >> mc )

while The large value will portray a Non-relativistic limit  as calculated below

K = h^2 / 2ma^2 = 1.52 GeV

I need help with two more Physics problems​
sesenic [268]

Answer:

c. They hit at the same time

b. BGS

Explanation:

A marble dropped (initial vertical velocity is 0) will land at the same time as a marble launched horizontally (initial vertical velocity is 0) from the same height.

Boat S has a net speed of 5 m/s (10 − 5).

Boat B has a net speed of 15 m/s (10 + 5).

Boat G has a net speed of ≈11.2 m/s (√(10² + 5²)).

Imagine a system where a block rests on an inclined plane. The block is then given an initial push so that it starts sliding dow
Helen [10]

Answer:

statement - 'The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push' is correct.

Explanation:

The statement ''The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push" is correct.

The above statement is correct because, the initial push will tend to slide down the block thus the work done by the initial push will be in the downward direction. Also, the gravity always acts in the downward direction. thus, the work done done by the gravity will also be in the downward direction

here, the downward direction signifies the downward motion parallel to the inclined plane.

Now we know that the work done by the friction is against the direction of motion. Thus, the friction force will tend to move the block up parallel to the inclined plane.

Hence, for the block to stop sliding the the above statement should be true.

If the mass of a 1.8 g paperclip was able to be completely converted to energy, how much energy would you obtain?
Anton [14]

Answer:

E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the paperclip, m = 1.8 g = 0.0018 kg

We need to find the energy obtained. The relation between mass and energy is given by :

E=mc^2

Where

c is the speed of light

So,

E=0.0018\times (3\times 10^8)^2\\\\E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J

So, the energy obtained is 1.62\times 10^{14}\ J.
