A piccolo and a flute can be approximated as cylindrical tubes with both ends open. The lowest fundamental frequency produced by

one kind of piccolo is 522.5 Hz, and that produced by one kind of flute is 256.9 Hz. What is the ratio of the piccolo's length to the flute's length?

Answer:

ratio of the piccolo's length to the flute's length is 0.4916

Explanation:

given data

frequency of piccolo = 522.5 Hz

frequency of flute = 256.9 Hz

to find out

ratio of the piccolo's length to the flute's length

solution

we get here length of tube that is express as

length of tube = velocity of sound ÷ fundamental frequency .......................1

so here ratio of Piccolo length to flute that is

\frac{L\ picco}{L\ flute}  = \frac{f\ flute}{f \ piccolo}

\frac{l \ piccolo}{L\ flute} = \frac{256.9}{522.5}  =  0.4916

so ratio of the piccolo's length to the flute's length is 0.4916

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction is : 0.36397

Explanation:

When we have a box on a ramp of angle \alpha , and the box is not sliding because of friction, one analyses the acting forces in a coordinate system system with an axis parallel to the incline.

In such system, the force of gravity acting down the incline is the product of the box's weight times the sine of the angle:

F_g=W\,*\, sin(\alpha)\\F_g=m*g\,*\, sin(\alpha)

Recall as well that component of the box's weight that contributes to the Normal N (component perpendicular to the ramp) is given by:

N=m*g*cos(\alpha)

and the force of static friction (f) is given as the static coefficient of friction (\mu) times the normal N:

f=\mu *m*g*cos(\alpha)

When the box starts to move, we have that the force of static friction equals this component of the gravity force along the ramp:

f=F_g\\\mu *\,m*g*cos(\alpha)=m*g\,*\, sin(\alpha)

Now we use this last equation to solve for the coefficient of static friction, recalling that the angle at which the box starts moving is 20 degrees:

\mu *\,m*g*cos(\alpha)=m*g\,*\, sin(\alpha)\\\mu=\frac{sin(\alpha)}{cos(\alpha)}\\\mu = tan(\alpha)\\\mu=tan(20^o)\\\mu=0.36397

Was work done on a book that fell from a desk to the floor? If so, what force was involved?
IgorLugansk [536]
Sure ! 
The work is (weight of the book) x (height of the desk above the floor).
The force (weight) is the result of gravity.
It was gravity that did the work.

olga55 [171]
The scientist is likely to be studying kinematics.
Kinematics is the branch of science, specifically physics, which is concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces that induce this motion. An example of kinematics is studying the change in velocity of an object over time or the distance covered by an object in a specified amount of time.
